Tip #298: Plugging into Podcasts: 10 Business-Related that will Inspire You!


When is the last time you invested in education for you or your team? It’s so easy to get lost in the details, as you scramble to complete daily tasks before the sun sets. Even if you crave the opportunity to learn, it can be difficult to invest your time when it always seems so limited. I have recently discovered podcasts as an easy and quick way to gain valuable insights in both my professional and personal life. 

Even though I love to read before turning in for the night, it can be a challenge for me to find the time and energy to make this a regular practice. However, by taking advantage of my commute time to and from work, I suddenly have 60 minutes of time each day which I now devote to listening to podcasts that stimulate my brain, spark my creativity and inspire me to set and achieve new goals.

“Packed with expert interviews, fascinating conversations and creative content you can absorb while commuting, waiting for a flight, or running on a treadmill, entrepreneur podcasts are fast becoming a go-to for top leaders,” as stated in an article on Inc.com.
