Learn from Podcasts
I drive 1hr+ every day in my commute and have found podcasts to be a valuable way to spend my time engaged in thought and learning from startup pros. Here are podcasts I enjoy:
Startup Podcasts
- Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders – a must experience podcast for startup founders; don’t try to listen to all of them; pick one, if it stinks move on; there are plenty that are great
- This Week in Startups – from Jason Calcanis; only listen to the ones most appealing
- This Week in Venture Capital – from Mark Suster; only listen to the ones most appealing
- HBR IdeaCast – from Harvard Business Review; only listen to the ones most appealing
- there are many other startup podcasts; I don’t have time for them
Personal Improvement Podcasts
- Everyday Systems – great series on optimizing your life from the perspective of a computer scientist; make sustainable good habits
Interesting Podcasts
- TED – have to sift through a lot of bad ones to find the nuggets, but the nuggets are great
High-Performance and Technical Computing Podcasts
- HPCwire Soundbite – from Michael Feldman, Addison Snell, Nicole Hemsoth, and others of Intersect360 research and HPCwire
- Radio HPC: The Rich Report – from Rich Brueckner of insideHPC.com
