Fairly recent, but Nate Blecharczyk of airbnb at Startup School 2013.

Great to learn the early days of airbnb and how (great) entrepreneurs persevere through the challenges.

Thank you for posing this question! I'm going to love digging through these videos.

Here are mine:

From PandoDaily, Fireside Chat With Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yPfxcqEXhE

From CoinSumm.it, Bitcoin Fireside Chat with Marc Andreessen and Balaji Srinivasan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iir5J6Z3Z1Q

From The Lean Startup Conference, Marc Andreessen, Chris Dixon, and Eric Ries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpwSzyqTG0E

And by far the one that made the biggest impression on me, from PandoDaily, Fireside Chat With Nasty Gal CEO Sophia Amoruso: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y04gnM57Sow

From that interview alone Sophia Amoruso became a huge role model for me.

Keith Rabois has helped build some of the most important companies in Silicon Valley including PayPal, LinkedIn and Square.

This talk shows huge tips quite relevant for startups (the role of a COO, why transparency matters, who to hire and more)

"Peter Jones How we made our Millions" is a very good one with great lessons. Jones is trying to find out the DNA of an entrepreneur by interviewing two British entrepreneurs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foWMmY3xSuk
