My dream is to own my own business (just kidding–own several businesses), but I’m currently experiencing financial hardship. After frantically looking for work for over a year with a network that let me down, I finally managed to find part-time work at a local nonprofit.
But I want to keep the foot on the gas (quite literally). Looking for a good business podcast I can listen to on my drive. I’ve listen to some in the past, but the quality of them has gone down. Oftentimes the guests are showboating, with like 30 seconds of helpful nuggets in the middle. Or I’ll roll my eyes when I see the guest is some Dr. Oz-like green juice prophet.
Yes, I realize podcasts need to make money. I fully accept that if a podcast is free, ads are unavoidable. I simply skip past them.
Previous podcasts that have fallen out of favor with me: University of Adversity, School of Greatness, Achieving your Goals with Hal Elrod, Mel Robbins, Entrepreneurs on Fire, and How I Built It (where each episode just sounded like a 50-minute commercial for WordPress).
Looking for ones that focus on becoming rich, but also ones that talk about how to bolster a network and overcome hardship. Somewhere along there.
Any ideas?
Yeah, I tried a few episodes. Couldn’t really get into it for some reason. Maybe I’ll try again.
Ah, I missed that in your original post. TBH it’s not one I would put on myself, but my partner likes it and some of the episodes have actually been super interesting. Specifically I remember the James Dyson episode being good. But I agree about your post calling it a 50-minute promo. The ads get super annoying, but the stories are good.
