As I said I&#x27;m a huge fan of the Startup podcast (and actually all things Alex B). But if you&#x27;re looking for new angles, why not find a bootstrapping startup.<p>I bootstrapped a startup and it&#x27;s a whole different experience that what we heard in season 1 or 2. In both of those seasons, by the time that we &quot;met&quot; the startup they already had crazy awesome connections. When Alex starts pitching Aurelio(!) he starts by pitching Chris Sacca!  That&#x27;s barely representative of any &quot;normal&quot; person who starts a company.<p>And, we&#x27;re first introduced to Dating Ring once they&#x27;ve <i>already</i> gotten into YC. Most of the people on HN would kill just to have gotten to <i>that</i> level.<p>It&#x27;s a little like having a show about trying to get a great job. But, the person you&#x27;ve decided to follow is currently in Harvard. I&#x27;m not saying YC is all fun and games, but it&#x27;s hardly representative of the experience of most startups.
