I love to have Stanford’s Entrepreneurial Thought Leader Seminar podcast playing in the background while I’m writing blog posts, making plans for my business, or completing my weekly review.

Each podcast runs about an hour and features one well-known entrepreneur sharing stories of their personal successes and failures.

Some of my favorite speakers include Janice Fraser of Adaptive Path and Katie Rodan of ProActiv (see the 2006 Schedule for podcast links).

You can watch videos and listen to podcasts of these seminars at http://etl.stanford.edu/.
