Interviews with VCs and Entrepreneurs are dime a dozen nowadays. What I see missing is resources which help technical people think about business aspects. How does one understand/analyze competition, market size, customers etc. I really liked AMA from YC partners here on hacker news. They answered a few questions about how one should things about early stage starting up. I would like to see more of such things.

#162I think it is interesting that when interviewing someone they do not just focus on his job but also on the person himself. The developeronfire podcast is one that comes to mind that has this, which I really do enjoy listening to.
completely agreed!

#163I would love to hear from the right hand support teams for growing tech companies (Tesla, Amazon, Google, etc.). What makes them great support staff for founders, and how do you either look for such people, and/or if you are one, kick butt in your role. Thanks!
yeah, I like stories from behind the scenes people as well

#167I'd love if the podcast were more about teaching other founders how to build billion-dollar companies, and less about their stories. Most interviews are founding anecdotes, while the greatest benefit would come from learning from interviewees' mistakes.
