Learn from history's greatest entrepreneurs. Every week I read a biography of an entrepreneur and find ideas you can use in your work. This quote explains why: "There are thousands of years of history in which lots and lots of very smart people worked very hard and ran all types of experiments on how to create new businesses, invent new technology, new ways to manage etc. They ran these experiments throughout their entire lives. At some point, somebody put these lessons down in a book. For very little money and a few hours of time, you can learn from someone’s accumulated experience. There is so much more to learn from the past than we often realize. You could productively spend your time reading experiences of great people who have come before and you learn every time." —Marc Andreessen

Great motivational podcast
Love listening to every single episode. I have no time to read the books at the moment. But listening about the amazing stories, pesonal notes and aspects of the great founders of big companies gives me a lot of motivation. I love the podcast and hope that it can keep on growing. Recommend this to every single person that wants to achieve something in life.
