My Favorite Media Running List

Podcasts:

1. The Startup Solution With Heidi Roizen (Heidi Roizen, Threshold Ventures): A venture capital and entrepreneurship podcast offering guidance and solutions on some of the most pressing topics faced by entrepreneurs from writing term sheets to managing difficult board members to leading a relationship-driven life, The Startup Solution is a must listen! Heidi Roizen, beautifully combines her knowledge from 40 years in the tech startup world with her unmatched wit and personability. I have been an avid fan since the first episode! 

2. The Headlines with Tracy Mumford (The New York Times): A perfect listen with your morning coffee (or oat milk latte if you’re like me!) A quick 10 minute daily briefing (M-F) on the latest news and events. A great way to stay caught up on recent events. 

Books: 

1. Designing Your Life (Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, 2016): Utilizing design thinking methods to navigate the complex intricacies of designing a well lived life, Designing Your Life is the perfect read for anyone looking to improve their life through thought provoking exercises while feeling like you are sitting in a class at Stanford’s d.school! This book is perfect for anyone who loves a worksheet and creative exercise. I would highly recommend listening to the audiobook version as Bill Burnett narrates us through our live design journeys.  

Journals:

1. Journal of Product Innovation Management: A peer-reviewed journal focusing on managerial knowledge of innovation management and product development. I have been reading articles from here for my Trinity College Dublin New Product Development module and found many great articles! Check out my COVID-19 Case Study Review from JPIM. 

Blogs/Insights:

1. Scientific, Technical, and Industry White Papers (Lever VC): A great insights page on exciting news and technologies on the future of food. With Lever VC’s combination of financial and scientific expertise, this page has great insights and provides a lens into the future of food space!
