The "How I Built This" is an incredibly well done podcast. I know this is a little off topic but it's likely a podcast many at HN would find interesting as it's about how entrepreneurs built their businesses.
I highly recommend!
I highly recommend!
Other ones, just when I think they're going to go that way, make humble admissions that there was a confluence of people and ideas that they combined with hard work to get to where they were at. So there are some good ones.
That all could be my side-line opinion though, tinted by my ego protecting itself while I'm not successful.
Ultimately what worked for one founder may never work for others. I try not to take any of them as gospel and just enjoy the stories that I find interesting.
I think it can be a great brain food to start the day. Any other resources you would recommend like this?
So I personally listen to the following which is all in a similar vain:
- Start-up from Gimlet Media (first season outlined their start, subsequent seasons have been a mixture of other companies)
- TWiST (This Week in Start-ups) by Jason Calacanis. I know people have various opinions on him here but I find his interviews great
- The Pitch which is a podcast where people come on and pitch real investors to get feedback (and the most recent season actual investments)
- a16z I find is a hit or a miss so I occasionally cherry pick their podcasts.
- Recode Decode by Kara Swisher (which is a little different but that's because she interviews founders as well as many other types of people)
