Ask HN: Best startup or business podcasts/interviews?

6 points·lionheart··6 comments

I was working out at the gym today and I realized just how much dead time I am wasting when I could be learning something. Instead of listening to music I can learn more about business and marketing.

So I wanted to know: what are your favorite sources for audio business knowledge? A series of podcasts? Interviews? Audio books?

Maybe we can all find something new to listen to during out free time.

I'll stick my head out and endorse Andrew Warner's stuff on http://mixergy.com

He has a mixed reputation on Hacker News (http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=AndrewWarner) because of his "dubious" past business, but his interviews are good. I only listen to about 20% of what he puts out, but what I do consume I find very compelling.

Venture Voice is awesome, there some 50+ hour-long podcasts. http://www.venturevoice.com/

Stanford's "Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders" podcast might interest you. The quality's uneven, my favorite is Steve Blank's (customer development) talk. Mitch Kapor and Shai Agassi were pretty interesting as well.

I just finished listening to 'how to get rich' by dennis felix, which is a good light, humorous book. Take everything with a pinch of salt, but mixergy.com has some good stuff. Ecorner.stanford podcasts are all pretty damn good, harvardideacast and knowledge@wharton are interesting but not to the same level. Can also recommend venturehacks and venturevoice podcasts for customerdev/marketing entrepreneurial stories.

I listen primarily when running or at gym, killing two birds...

I just listened to "Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires" ebook by Brian Tracy. You can find it on iTunes. Short and a fun listen.
