It is often difficult to find mentors who have the time to personally share their leadership and entrepreneurship knowledge. That is why podcasts can be helpful and inspiring. Podcasts are audio lectures, interviews or discussions that you subscribe to and download to a computer or mobile device.
But is there anything worth listening to if you are a business person?
Absolutely.
Podcasts have been around for years but their popularity has recently increased, tripling to 75 million listeners from just 25 million 5 years ago. Think of all the time slots you have in a day that you could benefit from audio learning while still completing some daily tasks.
The trick to benefiting from podcasts is to choose the right ones to follow. Here is my list of thought-provoking podcasts geared around the topics of finance, management and leadership.
