Great podcasts to end the year

Breaker.audio (@breaker) recently published Top 100 Hot Podcasts of 2019. It has some great podcasts. I've listed a few here - mostly on leadership and self-development. 

Some of these are pretty long (>60mins), but it is very difficult to put them off once you start listening to them. Its a great way to learn new things when we are commuting.

• Deep work: We haven't admitted the true cost of interruptions. In this conversation with computer scientist Cal Newport talks about shutting down distractions and focus on meaningful work.

• Interview with Jim Collins: This is one of the rare interviews with reclusive author of Built to Last and Good to Great. He talks about leadership, how he manages his time (the 50:30:20 concept, 20 mile march, etc.,

• How to get rich - by @naval: Naval talks about concepts like - Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status, Make Abundance for the World, Make Luck Your Destiny, Pick Partners With Intelligence, Energy and Integrity, Read What You Love Until You Love to Read, Judgment Is the Decisive Skill, Eventually You Will Get What You Deserve, There Are No Get Rich Quick Schemes

• Act like a owner -by @naval: If you think and act like an owner, it’s only a matter of time until you become an owner.

• The surprising habits of original thinkers - Adam Grant: "The greatest originals are the ones who fail the most, because they're the ones who try the most," Grant says. "You need a lot of bad ideas in order to get a few good ones."

• What You Do Is Who You Are - Ben Horowitz: "One of the key insights from Bushido is that a culture is not a set of beliefs, it's a set of actions.". Ben Horowitz (@bhorowitz) is a cofounder and general partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, and t, What You Do Is Who You Are.

• Lessons from a Trillion-Dollar Coach - Eric Schmidt. Eric talks about a wide range of things, including about the book Trillion-Dollar Coach, which is a book about Bill Campbell, who helped to build some of Silicon Valley’s greatest companies—including Google, Apple, and Intuit—and to create over a trillion dollars in market value. A former college football player and coach, Bill mentored visionaries such as Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt, and coached dozens of leaders on both coasts.

• Keeping the Flywheel in Motion - Jim Collins: The Flywheel effect is a concept developed in the book Good to Great. No matter how dramatic the end result, good-to-great transformations never happen in one fell swoop. In building a great company or social sector enterprise, there is no single defining action, no grand program, no one killer innovation, no solitary lucky break, no miracle moment. Rather, the process resembles relentlessly pushing a giant, heavy flywheel, turn upon turn, building momentum until a point of breakthrough, and beyond.
