At the end of the day it doesn’t matter if you’re a Mac or a PC, the truth is that Steve Jobs is a visionary and widely recognized innovator, and in this edition of the Video Series, we present you with the 2005 Stanford University commencement speech by Steve Jobs.

But aside from just the CEO of Apple talking about OS X, or the iPhone, he talks about his life, and what made him the entrepreneur and innovator he is today.

This video comes from the Stanford GSB, in which  a panel of seasoned entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, board members and other professionals discuss the common pitfalls most new entrepreneurs encounter when building their business.

This video is a bit different than others, when discussing learning and failure, in that this video focuses on learning from success other than failure, while having one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel may be great, so is taking the best practices and learning from them. We can after all learn not only from the mistakes of others, but also their successes.

Another video this week, this one is from a “did you know” series and talks about the currently somewhat exponential growth in the way that technology is augmenting communication and how the world just keeps on getting smaller. It’s quite interesting and cool to see the way that our world and our species is evolving, and how we’re all working in commonality towards “something”. And notwithstanding, just think about your lifetime, and how much has changes since you were a kid, and where we’ll be in 20-30-50-100 years.

We are currently living in some of the if not the most exciting times of humanity. In comparison with previous decades wars are fewer, globalization is increasing communication among all off us us irrelevant of where we are living. Technology is encroaching into, or has already encroached into every tiny little aspect of our lives, sometimes we forget about it, it’s natural we’re living, but for many of us in our 30’s and older, welcome to the future. Did you imagine that we’d have iPhones, Blackberrys, eBook Readers etc… by 2010? I for one always thought we’d have hover boards by now, but aside from my disappointment, it seems that Back to the Future II wasn’t factually accurate.

This video shows how the world is changing and where we’re heading, and how technology is changing the face of our planet.

While we honestly don’t think that Sir Richard Branson needs any introduction, we think that this video does. It comes from the 2006 Direct Marketing Association’s Keynote speech, and while Direct Marketing may have its benefits and drawbacks, we feel that the video more than compensates for any feelings positive or negative towards the practice.

Among other things Branson discusses the transfer or core business concepts from his music company to an airline, Virgin Atlantic, and how mass media outlets, and researchers believed that an airline named Virgin would inevitable fail.

In all the video is long, about 25 minutes whole, but a joy to watch from start to finish.

Without doubt one of the best ways to pick up on best practices and get on the right path is to educate yourself, and learn from others. As such we’ve decided to bring you a once a week video series on entrepreneurship from around the world. These are individuals who have been successful, who speak of their own experiences, and who have agreed to hold interviews – typically with – some of the leading educational institutions globally.

As such, we present you the first entrepreneurship video in the series, an interview with Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman and CEO of the Bharti Group, India’s largest mobile phone operator. The video itself comes from Wharton’s YouTube Channel.

So without further ado:
