Wow. I'm not sure if this is even going to be a good suggestion. Let me try in a very personal way.

Having been a developer, designer helped a lot. I know what's going on and I can jump in. Unfortunately, I cannot jump in as much as I want to these days. Things do move fast and the best I can do is help in learning/researching a topic faster and help focus and save time.

While picking any consumption of information, I like to focus on the human side of it. I'm not trying to learn a new thing to either impress or even help them. They are way better than me when it comes to technology, frameworks etc. If I'm helping a newer or not so experienced developer or a designer, I already know how to help them without overwhelming them.

More than podcasts/audible, I read a lot (both physical and kindle). I avoid driving and take an Uber (I live in Bangalore and you know the traffic here) so I can read.

As for the few select podcasts - a16z, YCombinator, Startup School, Entrepreneur on Fire, Youpreneur, No Quit Living. I started being regular recently, so I'm still curating my choices.

Thinking like an entrepreneur really does help -- delegate, accept failures from one and all. Don't try to impress, or win anything. Try to be humble, modest and let others know that you don't know. Don't be that "Product Manager" that have never shipped a product, the "Project Manager" that has never designer/developed a project.

I hope you would be able to take some and form your own ways.

P.S. These came out recently. A lot of good ones.
