Podcasts
There's a big chance that in the past couple of years you bought yourself an mp3 player. In this post I will explain how you can turn your mp3 player in a learning tool that can help you acquire those skills that you need as an entrepreneur but that are not thought at university.
Since you want to use podcasts to increase your productivity, you need a program to do the downloading: you don't want to have to go visit the websites you are following on a weekly basis. Luckily there are programs like i-tunes or - if you think that Macs are just as evil as microsoft - juice that can do all the checking and downloading for you (I hate it how Quicktime tries to take over my computer when I install i-tunes).
The following are links to a few RSS feeds for podcasts that I'm subscribed to and I found really interesting. If you just click them, you will get a nonsense page, you have to paste these url's into the location box of a new feed in juice (you make a new feed by pushing the big green "+" button):
- The Salesroundup http://salesroundup.com/feed.xml
- Manager tools http://www.manager-tools.com/wp-rss2.php?category_name=podcasts
- and for the fun part there's of course Escapepod http://feeds.escapepod.org/EscapePod
I will post a more detailed review about the above podcasts in a later post.
You can find more podcasts through Yahoo (have a special section) or with i-tunes.
