Tech Venture Videos/Podcasts

Post links to videos and podcasts that you find that related to technology entrepreneurship. Each video should be at least 3 minutes in length. Second, rate the videos on a scale of 1 to 5 based on whether you think it would be worthwhile for other students to view. Finally, give a detailed explanation (100-300 words) for each rating.In this explanation, give an idea of why the speaker has legitimacy on the topic (why should we listen to them), the key argument (if there is one), important concepts (state them), best audience for the video (to whom specifically would you recommend the video), whether the video is universally valid (do the arguments and concepts only work in Silicon Valley during the dot-com era), and most importantly, if it will change your own future behavior. Please strive for completeness and brevity, by covering all of these points in the word limits. If you think that some requirement does not apply to your video, just state so.

A few great video podcast sources are:
