Podcasts have quickly become one of the most easily consumable forms of media.
They make way for passive learning and entertainment that appeals quite well to our shortened attention spans and all-around increasingly busy lives.
Podcasts are easy to pop on and listen to while in the gym, falling asleep at night, cleaning, on your commute, and as background noise while you work.
If you’re an entrepreneur, this type of content is gold.
While you’re hustling, you’re always on the hunt for new ideas and content that keeps you motivated to continue forward - not to mention, content that can be consumed on the go wherever you may find yourself.
If that sounds like you - if you’re looking for some raw inspiration today - then look no further...

Ted Radio Hour, hosted by Guy Raz of NPR, is like a mashup of all your favourite motivational Ted Talks, but in audio form!

If you’re looking for the real dirt, look no further than Recode Decode, hosted by top Silicon Valley journalist, Kara Swisher.

The Mixergy - Startup Stories podcast is a by-product of Mixergy - a company built with the mission of interviewing and providing teachings from really successful people.

This podcast has actually been around for 7 years and seems to welcome bursts of popularity at various times of the year - which likely speaks to the pattern with which we humans seek out motivation and inspiration.

The same can be said about The GaryVee Audio Experience. This podcast is a mix of interviews with interesting people, Gary’s recorded talks, episodes from the #AskGaryVee show, and even just Gary jumping on and speaking on a topic on the fly - as he’s often known to do all over the net.
Last, but certainly not least, is Myleik Teele’s MyTaughtYou Podcast. If you’re an entrepreneur flying solo, just trying to figure things out - Myleik’s got you covered!
The nice thing about this podcast is the way Myleik talks to her listeners and the wide range of topics she touches on. In the early days, her episodes consisted of reflective thoughts and advice delivered in a very raw, unedited way that was much akin to having a one-on-one chat with your mentor. Now, she’ll occasionally pull in some special guests to build upon the conversation, but still maintains that realness that any rising boss can appreciate.
