Inspiration for entrepreneurs - 3 outstanding podcasts

Inspiration for entrepreneurs - 3 outstanding podcasts

Mike McDerment - August 6/2008

I look to podcasts to inspire and educate me. I like to listen to them on plane trips and while commuting to and from work on the bus. It’s rare to uncover truly great content, but I find the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leader Series to be exceptional.

Two of my favorites from the series so far are:

Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn - Choosing the Entrepreneurial Path
Gregory Waldorf, eHarmony - 5 Must-Haves of an Entrepreneurial Career

Why are they my favourites? I’ve listened to twenty episodes and enjoyed almost every single one. These two have stood out in my mind, I’m not quite sure why.

Another one of my favorite podcast series is Greg Galant’s Venture Voice. Greg has gotten away from the series in the last while, but Joel Spolsky’s take on venture capital is must listen for any entrepreneur.

So go load up your iPod, and enjoy.

Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed the podcast. I like the Stanford one too. We just produced our first episode in a while — a debriefing with Rafat right after he sold paidContent for a rumored $30mm.
