Half way through the Stanford University Entrepreneurial Thought series, here's my three must-see or must-listen-to lectures:

1. G.Steven Burill. An excellent example of a Silicon Valley entrepreneurship services "machine" that keeps producing successful startups.
- the valley's behind-the-scenes VC and services infrastructure.

2. Reid Hoffman, founder of PayPal, LinkedIn, and other startups. A personal narrative of a successful entrepreneur.
- choosing a problem to solve and risks to take.

3. Tien Tzuo, Chief Strategy Officer at Salesforce.com. A series of insights on how a startup took advantage of a tectonic shift in the Enterprise Software industry.
- Jefrey Moore's "Crossing the Chasm" paradigm has become obsolete.

Each of these talks deserves a separate blog post, so I will get back to them after I complete listening to the whole series.
