I'd love to make a project to sum up every TED talk in 140 charaters. This way one could consume their whole set of ideas worth spreading in under an hour.

Re: YouTube channels for entrepreneurs
#32All of the pep talk type Youtube channels that OP mentions (Gary Vee, Mark Cuban etc), they push (IMO) a wrong idea of startups : they all say you should work 16 hours a day, bare minimum sleep, hustle and grind (god, those words make me cringe). That advice completely ignores health and general well being, which is essential if you're in it for the long haul. Anyway, this list seems interesting. Thanks OP for compil…
I don't think that's true. Gary Vee has said things like that in the past but more recently said he devotes weekends to family, sleeps more, and vacations more[0]. Tim Ferris literally got famous from a book titled "The 4 Hour Work-week". Mark Cuban is frankly on a different level (the 3 comma club really is different IMO).
Hustle and grind are traits not mutually exclusive from being healthy.
I'll go so far as to posit that most highly successful entrepreneurs (I'm talking big, high-growth companies here) end up sacrificing at least one of the following: sleep, free time, relationships, starting a family, or general health.
The real question is–between the success and the sacrifice–which one causes the other?

I haven't watched that much Gary Vee but from what I've seen he is at times informative & entertaining but mostly cringe worthy. He is a little too high on his own supply for me.

Having consumed a lot of GV's content, I disagree with your comment. Whilst I do not agree with working unhealthy hours and working on minimum sleep, GV doesn't explicitly advise people to do that. He preaches that if you're unhappy doing what you're currently doing, you have to work hard to change that, rather than sitting on "ideas" and never doing anything about them and living with "what if".
Gary himself may work long hours on minimum sleep but he has always said he is wired differently to many people and that sort of lifestyle isn't sustainable for most.
However, I do agree that the list is interesting, there's some good content I haven't come across before which is always nice to find; thanks OP!

#35I've got a question for you guys! What do you think of Gary Vaynerchuck ?
Gary Vaynerchuck is very good at marketing himself.

He makes exactly one good point, and then repeats it incessantly: there's a tendency amongst entrepreneurs to do too much planning and not enough execution. His practical advice to "document rather than create" is a good synthesis of a solution, I think. Everything else beyond that is just pep-talk.
"document rather than create" what does this mean?
Document your journey and be yourself rather than trying to create story lines and a "persona".
Gary Vee Quote: "In very simple terms, “documenting” versus “creating” is what The Real World and the Kardashians is to Star Wars and Friends. And don’t get confused—just because you’re “documenting” doesn’t mean you’re not creating content. It’s just a version of creating that is predicated more on practicality instead of having to think of stories or fantasy—something that’s very hard for most people (including myself)." - https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/creating-content-that-builds-...

Everything I've seen from GaryVee recently has been along the lines of "you're not doing enough work."
Last week he told someone who took a weekend off that that was more time than he had taken off for his entire twenties.

I miss Wine Library TV.
I thought Crush It was a good book for when it was released but didn't enjoy Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook as much. That felt like a couple of pages of content that was forced into book form.
I would recommend Getting Real by 37 Signals over either of those books though.

Thanks so much for this video. Not a millennial, but I got a lot out of it. Especially this part where he checks the Millennial caller with something that I too am guilty of from time to time.
