2024 Innovation Resources Summer Edition: Entrepreneurial Books, Podcasts and Tools

The greatest resource at Innovators Alliance is the wealth and experiences of our members. As a community for entrepreneurs, we put a particular emphasis on innovation and the opportunity to share experiences and gain inspiration from others.

Earlier this year we updated our IA Member Check-in process to include a question that asked members about their recommended entrepreneurial books, podcasts and tools. These resources have come directly from IA members over the first half of 2024 – we hope you can dig into these innovation resources this summer!
