#172I'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.

#175Peter Diamandis (okay, he's done a lot of interviews and blogs a lot, but has a great perspective on the impact of tech on humanity)
Re: Ask HN: Restarting the YC Podcast – who would be most interesting to listen to?
#176- Hard tech founders
- Kyle Vogt from Cruise Automation (specifically interested in how he became such a good engineer), he hardly has any interviews that talk about this
- Nothing really public from Helion Energy, could be interesting
- What did founders do in the early days to develop technical chops while remaining frugal? This seems to be more than just learning syntax and really worth discussing.
- If great companies start as projects, have an entire discussion about that and what shape those take (if it's just a side project, do you do user interviews? Etc.)
- How to pick growth metrics in hard tech startups
- President of University of Waterloo or Eric from Pebble and what about the school creates such great engineers/founders and how Americans can emulate that
- FarmLogs Founders: Jesse Vollmar and Brad Koch
- A discussion on blending strategy with acting quickly and developing really great, original ideas (and how they evolve from small projects)
- Anything with Qasar again, that guy is the real deal
- "The best founders may be working on things that seem small but get them done extraordinarily quickly" - discussion on this
- Mike Duncan from BankJoy
- Adam D'Angelo from Quora
- Rob Rhinehart from Soylent
- FLEX Fits

#177Some ideas that I think are outside of the wheelhouse of typical Silicon Valley thought leaders: 1) Mike Bloomberg: Talk about founding and tech development of Bloomberg Professional Service (don't talk about politics at all) 2) Judy Faulkner: Founder and CEO of EPIC systems, a large privately held Hospital EHR vendor (Epic is one of the largest and most insular tech companies in the world) 3) Jack Ma: Founder of Ali…
YES regarding Mike Bloomberg. Epitome of relentlessly resourceful in the early days of Bloomberg LP

#178Would love to hear from Ben Silbermann - his quiet personality makes him someone who isn't interviewed as frequently.

#179Challenges we need to solve for Deep Space Travel, like pressure in the eyes which makes astronauts lose vision. More on the Space Race and astroid & water mining.
I just did a podcast with Kira Blackwell from NASA's CTO's office to announce their iTech competition and they are down to their top 10 finalists. Top 3 are announced in December. I have had a demo one of the products and it is a game changer on earth as well. Bob Lindberg would be a good one, he was president of NIA for 10 years now involved with Moon Express first company to get FAA approval to leave earths orbit.
Peter Thiel was hinted to be a guest on the YC podcast so can't wait to hear from him. I hope they focus the time to extract his vision of the future vs. his past. His book is already great for those theories so I am interested to hear what he is working on for his next chapter. Can someone ask if he is going to run for president?
I always get a kick out of founders stories of extreme examples of being relentlessly resourceful.
