13 Must-listen Podcasts for Serious Entrepreneurs

Must Listen Podcasts for Entrepreneurs
  • Save

Are you always looking for new podcasts that allow you to learn from the experts?

Recently someone recommended I download Overcast and listen to a few podcasts. Initially, I was hesitant, as I’m more of a reader than a listener, but I love that I can listen to them on the go, while taking a walk, or even over my morning coffee.

My biggest struggle is finding good podcasts to listen to. I like listening to podcasts around entrepreneurship, productivity, or lifehacking in general. Here’s my take on the best podcasts for entrepreneurs. All of these podcasts offer advice either from the host, or the guests, in a format that entrepreneurs will enjoy.

13 Best Business Podcasts for Entrepreneurs & SoloPreneurs:

2. StartUp

StartUp is a new podcast and was started by Alex Blumberg (formerly produced This American Life, Planet Money). The podcasts detail his experience as an entrepreneur (he is now founder/CEO at Gimlet Media), and uses the documentary narrative you’ll be familiar with if you followed This American Life. He’s very open about his experiences, which provides for a learning experience, which is why I’d recommend this podcast.

In his podcast, he interviews an eclectic bunch of people, and listeners will learn new ideas and techniques from them.

    Hi Nida,

    Just as you, I am mostly a reader. But I recently realised the benefits of listening to podcast. They are great way of learning and are more suitable when you are travelling.

    And unlike reading, in podcast as we listen we can absorb more. Recently started following a couple of podcasts. You post is really helpful for me to choose best podcasts.

    Thanks for the post.
