How do you learn new stuff: read blogs or watch videos?

by•
As founders, we wear many hats. We all have to learn a bunch of new things DAILY. On any given topic, there is an overwhelming quantity of content. You have to search - vet - learn; rinse and repeat x 100 a day... What's the most effective learning method for you?

All of the above and more: - podcasts - blogs - summits and conferences - paid training - youtube - sometimes twitter threads

@andrei_petrik2 yes, sometimes I find very interesting and niche-specific stuff on Twitter. As long as you're following the right accounts, right?!:)

@gurpinder_singh I listed to podcasts a lot, especially to real entrepreneur trial and error and success stories.

The main thing is to concentrate on learning. And try to watch videos in popular formats so that there are no problems with playback. After all, once I found a cool course, but it was not easy for me to watch it because it was in FLV format. So I was forced to look for a new player to watch it in high quality video format. To make it easier for others than me to choose, I advise you to read the article here https://mac.eltima.com/flash-pla... which will help you decide what is best for you to view web pages, SWF games or FLV movies. At least it won't be confusing and will save you the time and nerves you would have spent looking for the perfect Mac player.

third option: i listen

paste any blog url into speakeasy (speakeasy.studio.gold) and it converts to audio. i get through 5-6 long articles a day on walks and commutes that i would literally never sit down to read. the "sit down and read a blog post" habit competes with my phone, my couch, my attention span. "listen while walking" competes with... nothing

the depth is still there — full article, not a summary — i'm just consuming it hands-free instead of screen-first

for videos i'm more selective bc you can't do much else while watching. blogs/written content i've almost fully switched to audio now. way better surface area for actually learning stuff 🎧
