If you like inspirational and inspired ideas, the following website should top your list, no matter what your background:

http://www.ted.com/ (http://www.ted.com/)

An example of a more obvious inspiring speaker, but also with a useful message:

Thanks, Oscar.  I've seen a number of excellent videos on TED.com over the past few years.
