Last week I asked you lovely humans what podcasts you listen to for career inspiration, because I’m a firm believer in sharing the wealth when you find something amazing.  Also since this advice is free, maybe treat yourself to a fancy cup of joe.

Side note – If glitter and charcoal can be a latte, then I’m positive you can do whatever you set your mind to.

Now let’s check out some of your favorites: 

How I Built This:

Okay, I love this podcast and it was CLEARLY the resounding favorite of group.

Reader Shefali says, “it’s inspiring to hear everyone has to start somewhere when building their care”.

Side Hustle School:

Side Hustle School is a great podcast for those of you who want to pursue a passion while in your current role.

Reader Lawrence and Argyle describes it, “there’s one short episode released each day about a person who has a 9 – 5 job but also created a source of income on the side. It’s done by @193countries (Chris Guillebeau). It’s really inspiring to hear the cool ideas people come up with”

The Tony Robbins Podcast 

The Tony Robbins Podcast is definitely a must-listen if you’re starting to explore life and career podcasts. 

Reader Alexa explains, “I love Tony’s energy and enthusiasm for providing quality material that inspires me to do more. Tony is a true treasure of wisdom!” 

Radical Candor:

I haven’t listened to this one yet, but it’s now bumped up on my list thanks to your recommendations! 

Reader Courtney said, “Radical Candor was great for manager specific tips!”

The Moth: 

Reader Maggie says, “it’s not career specific, but great inspiration for the power of storytelling!”

I love that Maggie responded with this because storytelling is a skill that everyone should try to master. Whether you’re telling a brand story, advocating for a promotion, getting interviewed or merely recapping a great night, storytelling is a vital component of success. 

The Goal Digger Podcast

This podcast is great for anyone interested in starting their own venture.

Reader Molly describes it, “Jenna Kutcher breaks down different aspects of business for entrepreneurs”.

Happen to Your Career 

To all of you who are day dreaming of a career change or are merely unhappy in your current role, this one’s for you.

Happen to Your Career was a great outlet for me when I decided to make a change. It’s provides helpful tips on how to navigate a career change and how to make changes in your existing career. 

What Fits You:

This is more of an audio course than a podcast, but if you are someone who feels like you need to make a change but don’t know where to go –  tune in. 

I used this course to help me figure out my next move and I can say it is INCREDIBLE. I was someone who wasn’t sure what my passions were and didn’t have a side hustle, but really wanted to figure out what fits me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS (sorry for the shouting caps, I just feel v strongly about this one). 

Hope you guys find these helpful. If you end up listening to one from this list, let me know what you think!

P.S. Loving that Spotify added podcasts so I can now go from playing ABBA on repeat (recently re-watched the greatness that is Mamma Mia!) to indulging my brain cells. It’s truly a beautiful thing. All of the above podcasts are available on Spotify except the last one. Happy podcasting!
