Clayton Christensen's Job to Be Done Analysis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84LymEs67Y It's the famous, what do people hire a milkshake for anecdote from his book Innovator's Solution. That thinking has been instrumental in guiding me to make stuff (Draft) that people have really connected to and helped spread like crazy - all because I've spend considerable time studying the jobs people have and then tried to make…

Agreed 100% Nate.

The aha moment really makes customer development make sense.

The best talks I've ever heard on the SaaS business which I know are publicly available: http://www.microconf.com/videos-2013.html -- no individual hyperlinks but you want the three of them: Rob Walling's, Jason Cohen's, and Erica Douglass'. Jason's is the best if you're pre-product, Rob's if you're in "OK, so the SaaS clearly works, how do I scale it" phase. (There are another few I would recommend from Microconf 20…

Is there a way to download audio files of these Microconf presentations in Vimeo?

Last time I looked at downloading movies from Microconf, it wasn't possible. I have used the tool youtube-dl (http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/) to download movies/sounds from Youtube, Soundcload and Vimeo.

Unfortunately, Microconf have marked their videos as embed-only, which you probably need to workaround, the tools I have tried don't work.

Edit: Oh, it seems like they have opened up, you can download them with this command: youtube-dl "https://vimeo.com/72140534"

The awesome talk 'Do what you love(no excuses!)' by Gary Vaynerchuk at TED pumps me up every time I watch it --> http://www.ted.com/talks/gary_vaynerchuk_do_what_you_love_no...

It's specially suitable for people who want to start something of their own but aren't able to.

Another great TED video is by Larry Smith - 'Why you will fail to have a great career' --> http://www.ted.com/talks/larry_smith_why_you_will_fail_to_ha...

I love the part when he says, what would you like to have engraved on your tombstone. I always had that feeling but this guy phrased it in words for me.

If all else fails, 1/8 inch out of headphone jack to 1/8 inch into microphone jack, hit record, hit play.
