Podcasts are a great way to stay up-to-date on relevant topics. They are convenient, free to listen to, and accessible from any device. They are a great way to keep current in your industry and you can listen them in your "down time" whether it be while you're driving, doing the dishes or taking a walk.
Here are five great podcasts that will help small business owners expand their knowledge and better run their businesses. The podcasts cover business topics, interviews, and tips.
- The Foundr Podcast - The Foundr podcast is a great weekly podcast that features interviews with successful entrepreneurs.
- This Week in Startups - Angel investor Jason Calacanis (Uber, Calm, Robinhood) interviews the world’s greatest founders, operators, investors and innovators.
- The Innovators Podcast - The Innovators Podcast was started in 2020 to highlight some of the incredible people in Ames, at Iowa State, and in the Research Park. Hosted by Research Park staff, the Podcast aims to share the stories of innovation and entrepreneurship that often go unseen in our communities.
- This Old Marketing Podcast - Every week, since 2013, Joe and Robert share their insights into the media, marketing and content marketing worlds. Always useful, mostly entertaining and pretty much 60 minutes long.
- Entrepreneur On Fire - Another great podcast that has some interviews with various entrepreneurs with some greats insights.
BONUS: This last one is on you, listen to podcasts related to your field to keep up to date on trends in your industry. I don't know what your industry is, but I can guarantee that someone already has a podcast on the subject, and if not, well there might be an opportunity there. 😉
I hope you enjoy listening to some of those podcasts, and all the best finding your own podcast gems out in the wild!
