A couple months ago someone posted a link to some Sam Altman lectures (LINK) on starting startups. Although it doesn't directly relate to what I'm starting it was very interesting and I was able to take a lot away.

Anyone have any recommendations for other similar YouTube videos, podcasts, or similar? Over the next few months I'll have a very long commute before I open my business and am looking for something more motivating/informative than talk radio.

Tim Ferriss Podcast. Amazing way to get into the minds of some of the most successful people in the world.

I was the poster who linked the Sam Altman lectures. Glad you liked them. If you thought those were helpful, I really recommend Paul Graham's essays. Also, I really don't know of any podcasts that would be incredibly useful. I listen to Y Combinator's podcast, as well as the Recode/Decode podcasts -- these podcasts are interesting because they highlight up & coming companies and their founders -- unfortunately though, there's really not a whole lot of valuable insight you can gain from listening to them IMO.

eta: Actually, something that may be very helpful would be to listen to Elon Musk's talks. Regardless of how you feel about his companies, I highly recommend listening to a few of his talks. His approach to starting & running companies is very unique.

It might lean more towards entertainment than educational, but the StartUp podcast is one of my favorites. I got hooked on season 1 just as heavy as any TV series I've ever been into.

Season 1 is about a guy trying to start a podcasting company and he essentially records the whole, often embarrassing, ordeal of him pitching to investors, finding a partner, naming the company, hiring employees, etc.

StartUp

Season 2 was more uneven and was about some women trying to start an online dating website. Season 3 is only 3 episodes in but it's following a different startup each episode. It's been great so far.
