Ask HN: Which companies / people inspire you?

3 pointsashitvora2 comments

Some people don't consider anybody as their role model but some do.

Let me start with myself.

Few people that inspires me the most are ...

Ryan Singer (37 Signals), Seth Godin (Marketing Guru), Paul Graham (YCombinator), Tony Hsieh (Zappos), Jason Fried (37 Signals)

Especially Neil Tyson, as a matter of fact. I highly recommend anyone watch every single one of his videos on Youtube, if only to reap some of his overflowing passion.

My top 5 (non tech and in no particular order):

    Ronaldinio 
    MF Doom  
    Madlib            
    Bansky               
    Aaron McGruder
