Podcasts

Podcasts are a transformative medium in learning and for exposure to long-form discussions. I’d like to thank my friend James for introducing me.

I'd welcome any recommendations : )

Recommendations

Note: I’d suggest that a good way to listen to podcasts isn’t to listen to every episode from a provider. Some Guests or Topics might resonate with you more than others. So listen to those that interest you.

• Interesting Guests
  • The Diary of a CEO - solid conversations
  • Talks at Google - quite crafted, but some interesting talks
  • Joe Rogan Experience - if you go far enough back, there were some great guests (in my opinion)
  • The McKinsey Podcast
  • Conversations with Tyler
• Health
  • Huberman Lab - science backed
  • HealthyGamerGG - mental health
• Startup
  • Y Combinator
• Interesting
  • Naval
• STEM
  • The Future of Everything - Stanford Engineering
  • Gradient Dissent: Conversations in AI
