The Personal MBA^TM

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Ben Casnocha, entrepreneur and author of My Startup Life: What a (Very) Young CEO Learned on His Journey Through Silicon Valley. Ben is one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking business bloggers I’ve come across, and I’ve been following his work for years now.

Ben had quite a few questions for me about how the PMBA was developed, and our conversation ultimately turned into an extensive examination of cognitive bias, mental models, systems and processes, and the role of books in self-education. It’s one of the most in-depth interviews about the Personal MBA that exists, and you can read the whole conversation on Ben’s blog. I think you’ll find it very interesting reading.

If you like to listen to business books while driving to work or doing chores around the house, I have great news: I’m happy to announce that 29 PMBA books are currently available for download via Audible.com, who is now an official sponsor of the Personal MBA.

For more information, check out this list of all books currently available in audio format via Audible.com.

(Special thanks to PMBA member Eric Ose for his research and encouragement.)

I’ve successfully upgraded personalmba.com… the entire site now loads much faster, particularly the PMBA Forums. I think I’ve eliminated most of the bugs, but if you encounter any issues, please contact me at support at personalmba dot com.

In addition, a few people have mentioned that they’re having issues creating an account in the PMBA Forums - those issues should be resolved as well. If you’ve already registered, re-check your login. If you haven’t created an account, please do so. Thanks!
