Inspiration: A true story One day a son asks his father: “Dad, will you run the marathon with me, I CAN do it?” The father answers yes and both run their first marathon together. One day, the son asks his father if he wants to run the marathon with him again and the father answers yes. They both run the marathon together again. Then one day the son asks his father: “Dad, will you run the Ironman with me, I CAN do it?” (the Ironman is the toughest…it requires a 4km swim, 180km biking and 42km running). The father says “YES, of course WE CAN. This all sounds easy…but check this video.
TED is ‘the’ thought leadership website. It is a privately-owned, nonprofit organization based in the US. On this well-respected and internationally renowned hub of thought on a variety of topics including leadership, you will find lectures, speeches, classes and blogs that you could learn a lot from.
Harvard University – Harvard Business YouTube Channel

BNET is a web property owned by CBS Interactive, and it constantly updated with content throughout each day. Among this content is their collection of videos, which are added to at a rate of approximately 10 per day. What I also like about the BNET site, is that they group together their videos into helpful subject types, so you can watch a whole play list together such as their entrepreneur video list.
