From an idea to execution, from general advice to big decision...whom do you follow on the Internet or read about? In another word, whose advice you consider?
I hate to sound like a sycophant here, but I rank pg up there pretty high in terms of people whose advice I value highly. I have found a lot of pg's essays to be very valuable.
Also, while he comes off as just another random "sale-ey / self-help guy", I have found value in following Grant Cardone. His Youtube videos and his books are all pretty good.
And while I'm not sure what I think of Peter Thiel as a person, I did get a lot from his book and I enjoy watching his various interviews and presentations online.
I also listen to what Elon Musk has to say, and I have a grudging respect for billg.
Richard Stallman is also an influence, even though I am more of an "open source" ideologue than a "free software" diehard.
HN's own patio11 is somebody else who doles out some good stuff.
Mark Cuban is somebody else that I respect, and whose thinking I pay attention to. Same for Richard Branson.
From the "people who are dead" category, I get value from reading works by, and about, both Nicola Tesla and Douglas Engelbart.
