Insights and inspiration for project professionals

I challenge Gert Bogaerts to give their top 3 to 5 podcasts. 

• • Ted Radio Hour:

  Quite a nice format – several TED speakers linked together on a common theme. If you like the sound of any of them, you can go back and listen to their whole talk

  Example episode with Monica Lewinski

  • This one was quite something, what she went through, and what she has done – inspirational:

  • TED Interviews

  Head of TED Chris Anderson speaks with some of the world’s most interesting people to dig into the provocative and powerful ideas of our time.

  • How I built this

  This dives into the stories behind some of the world's best known companies. How I Built This weaves a narrative journey about innovators, entrepreneurs and idealists—and the movements they built. The have awesome stories about how entrepreneurs – real people behind big companies – got started.

  My favourite episodes  

  • Air BNB  The real story                                       http://tiny.cc/AirBnB-pod  
  • Instagram The people that started Instagram:       http://tiny.cc/instagram3
  • Ben & Jerry Nice guys : http://tiny.cc/BnGpod

  If you like these – there are loads more – and they usually finish off with a section on How You Built This – people like you or I following their ideas / passions that could one day be the next Air BNB or Instagram

  • Hidden Brain

  My current ‘ go to’ favourite is another one from NPR: Hidden Brain. All episodes are good, they are entertaining and thought provoking.

  • AudioBook: Vaporized: Solid Strategies for Success in a Dematerialized World

  And lastly an audiobook or book. This book started me on my DNA journey… fascinating / frightening read. To be honest, now I cannot remember what came first, the book or the podcasts – I get information from such a variety of sources, it all melds into one, especially for someone my age.
