In my opinion, podcasts are one of the best creations in this world. Especially if you are interested in learning from business and personal development podcasts.
Podcasts offer free knowledge and insight into a wide range of topics, including finance, news, comedy, storytelling, and relationship advice (just to name a few). The best part about them is that you can listen to them virtually anywhere!
The podcast trend is seriously growing. There are over 30 million podcast episodes as of April 2020. If you don’t listen to podcasts, I recommend you start! Below are some applications for both iOS and Android that allow you to tune into business and personal development podcasts for free. These apps also work for all other podcast categories as well.
Please note, this list consists of mainly of business and personal development podcasts (because that is my jam). However, there are so many other podcast categories and subjects which I encourage you to check out.
Snacks Daily
Snacks Daily is a Robinhood Financial business podcast that provides digestible finance news in 15 minutes or less. The podcast hosts are two smart and hilarious guys named Jack Kramer and Nick Martell.
They really know how to make finance fun and easy to learn! Each episode is produced daily so it’s easy to stay updated.
Bloomberg Businessweek
Hosted by Carol Massar and Jason Kelly, Bloomberg Businessweek is the perfect business podcast to get valuable insight into companies – both small and large.
The podcast has a wide variety of business topics like trade wars, US and world news, company IPO’s, earnings reports, politics, and much more!
Motley Fool Money
An overall helpful business podcast about the markets, money, and the economy.
The Motley Fool also offers tons of other podcasts such as Industry Focus, Rule Breaker Investing, and Motley Food Answers.
The Dave Ramsey Show
It’s Dave Ramsey. Of course, it will be a good finance podcast. Ramsey is basically a money god! Dave Ramsey has a variety of topics that could fall under both the business and personal development podcast category.
The Anxious Achiever
A podcast with the mission to rethink mental health and work, with candid stories from leaders who’ve been there.
This personal development podcast is apart of Harvard Business Review (HBR) and goes into some really amazing and honest discussion about mental health in the workplace.
How I Built This with Guy Raz
Guy Raz dives into the stories and background behind some of the best-known companies. I love this podcast because you get to hear some of the best leaders and CEO’s talk about how they built a product from the ground up.
This business and personal development podcast is all about innovation, entrepreneurship, and following your dreams. Side note- I once had a college course that was completely constructed around listening to this podcast as homework!
Planet Money
A solid podcast on all things money. NPR has a ton of amazing podcasts that are credible, valuable, and provide tons of information.
Wall Steet Journal (WSJ) Your Money Briefing
These podcasts are the best if you don’t have a ton of time! For me, I love playing this podcast while I am getting ready in the morning. Most episodes run about 8-10 minutes and get to the point quickly!
Unf*ck Your Brain
Hosted by master coach Kara Loewentheil, J.D (Harvard Law School graduate) talks about high-achieving feminist women who mainly struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome. This podcast is all about how to manage your mind to succeed in all parts of your life.
