Podcasts about Start Ups

I'm a big fan of the StartUp podcast by Gimlet Media so was really excited about the return of a brand new season.  Season 6 looks at domains, and asks why the dot.com is the most popular and how much it's all worth?  Check out the first episode.

Here are 3 great podcasts about start ups:

1.  The Happy Ending
Coss Marte's journey from felon to founder
2.  The rebound 
Host Nic Dupuis talks to Nikki Durkin about her start ups 99dresses and CodeMakers.
3.  The crazy
How far will one man go to bring Trader Joe's to Canada?

Teatime treats on a Sunday?  Scones are perfect.  Here is a delicious recipe that I got from my cousin Jenny, a legend in the kitchen.  Check out her scrumptious scones  on Instagram. Jenny's Scones Ingredients: 225g plain flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder 2 tablespoons caster sugar 55g butter 3/4 cup milk, water and 1 beaten egg mix Method: 1.  Preheat oven to 200'C (180'C for a fan-oven) 2.  Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl and add the sugar. 3.  Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. 4.  Add the milk mix and knead lightly into a soft dough. 5.  Toss with floured hands until smooth, then roll out about 2cm thick & cut into rounds. 6.  Bake for 10-15 mins.  Serve with strawberry jam and cream Sunday scones

Muri Night Markets The Muri Night Markets are open from 5-8pm every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday.  The Cook Islands are beautiful islands, but being islands most things need to be imported.  While food can be brought in from New Zealand, gro
