One of my favorite podcasts is the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders podcast. Yesterday, I listened to Hugh Martin of Pacific Biosciences "13 Mistakes and 13 Brilliant Strokes". This is definitely worth the time (54 minutes). Martin has started companies and worked for Kleiner Perkins.  The talk has tidbits ranging from how to grow a company to how to form a company to avoid an inopportune sale by anxious VC's.  It's definitely worth listening to!
