We have selected for you the best business podcasts to get inspiration for your next business idea or just to get some help with every day life struggles of entrepreneur and freelancer life.
Podcasts are a great way to fit in some extra inspiration while you’re on the go. The best part about podcasts is the accessibility and ease with which you can tune into any episode. You could be commuting by car or public transport, walking your dog or at the gym, and still be able to pull out your phone and listen to your favorite podcast. It’s a sure way to hear first-hand experience from entrepreneurs and start-up founders that could guide you down your own path.
There are currently an estimated 700,000 podcasts in 100 languages available to the public! It’s safe to say that finding one you enjoy could be more tiresome than enjoyable. In our spaces freelancers and entrepreneurs are the biggest community, that’s why we’ve done the work for you and rounded up some of the best and highest-ranking podcasts for people that are self-employed, freelancers, entrepreneurs; YOU!
You should use the tips given as guidelines; NOT guarantees. Your business is your baby, and no one is going to know how to take care of it more than you do. Listening to success (and failure) stories from freelancers and entrepreneurs can give you a glimpse into what may work for you, and what strategies you might want to avoid. And who doesn’t need an extra piece of inspiration every once in a while?
Tune in and enjoy!
