My Weekly Content Diet
This is what I am consuming to stay up to date all things technology and finance.
Posts like this usually start with, "People always ask me what content sources I read..."
The truth is, however, no one has ever asked me that question. But I am going to share my list anyway.
Pods:
All In Podcast: By far my absolute favorite piece of content. This weekly show features four "besties" (Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, David Friedberg, and Chamath Palihapitiya) who speak on technology, public and private markets, politics, and science. The collective energy these guys have when they are together is spectacular. I am such a fanboy I have purchased their merchandise!
Panic with Friends: This weekly podcast is hosted by Howard Lindzon, Managing Director of Social Leverage and CEO of StockTwits. Howard brings on industry experts in the public markets and experts in emerging asset classes like cryptocurrencies and NFT's.
Written Content:
Stratechery: Ben Thompson is best known for his Tedx on "the great unbundling." He is a very thoughtful journalist that covers both the public and private technology markets. His work is very detailed and is worth every penny. (Paid)
The Information: I just purchased a subscription to this site based on a blog post recommendation (just like this one). It seems to be very thoughtful reporting with no clickbait. (Paid)
Newsletters:
Litquidity: These guys give a rundown on public markets sentiments as well as IPO's, M&A activity, and Venture Funding. They have a great sense of humor and have amazing memes. (Free)
Seeking Alpha's Wall Street Breakfast: This is a daily summary of what to expect in terms of earnings news, financial policy, market movements, etc. (Free)
As Jim Kwik says- Leaders are Readers!
