2023 Innovation Resources Wrapped: Entrepreneurial Books, Podcasts and Tools

As recommended by IA Members

One of the most valuable elements of Innovators Alliance (IA), and something that sets our membership apart from other CEO Networking groups like TEC, YPO, and CEO Global is the fact that Innovators Alliance is the only peer-to-peer membership that is specifically for entrepreneurs. The knowledge and experience of the IA network of entrepreneurs is tremendously valuable, and something that will continue to inspire and sustain the membership.

This year’s survey results revealed that nearly half of the IA membership was interested in sharing (and receiving) entrepreneurial specific resources, including podcasts, books, and programs.  As 2023 draws to a close, we wanted to share 2023 Innovation Resources Wrapped: A Collection of books and podcasts that Innovation Alliance members have been using and recommending.

These resources have come up at various IA Chapter meetings over the past few months.  Stay tuned for new ways to share resources with the membership in the months to come.

For now, here is a brief collection of the tools that resonated for members in 2023.

Let’s be real. Work… kind of sucks sometimes.  It’s okay to admit it! But if the final hours of the weekend fill you with dread and the best part of your workday is clocking out at 5 p.m. — we should probably do something about that.
