I am an avid podcast listener. I listen to podcasts on my commute to and from work. It is a great way to be productive during that time.
I plan on taking this blog to the next level and making it into a business. I think it is an amazing time we live in, where people can actually create their own career. I am going to be one of those people.
When I listen to podcasts it just makes that dream even more real. I learn so much and get so inspired.
The following podcasts are great for aspiring creative entrepreneurs or even bloggers looking to take their blog to the next level.
Being Boss
Being Boss is an amazing podcast for creative entrepreneurs. It is run by Emily Thompson from Indie Shopography and Kathleen Shannon from Braid Creative and Consulting. I love that they always have fun on each and every podcast. I am always laughing. Their episodes are educational, relatable and funny. They are real and they donāt sugar coat stuff. While creating a business you love is definitely amazing, they make it clear that it takes hard work and it is not all butterflies and rainbows.

The Suitcase Entrepreneur
The Suitcase Entrepreneur is a podcast run by Natalie Sisson. Her goal is to help you create freedom in life and in business.Ā She has successfully run a business while traveling the world and being a digital nomad. She has amazing guests on the show that makes for really great episodes. She truly practices a freedom lifestyle and I love hearing about her journey.

The Smart Passive Income Podcast
The Smart Passive Income Podcast is an amazing podcast by Pat Flynn. If you havenāt heard of Pat or Smart Passive Income, then you are seriously missing out. Pat earns a significant amount of income through passive income each month (6-figure months) and aims to teach you how to do it too. He is so open and transparent, that you canāt help but like him. If you are interested in making money online, he shares a ton of actionable tips and has on incredible guests to learn from as well.

The Chalene Show & Build Your Tribe
The Chalene Show and Build Your Tribe are two podcasts from Chalene Johnson. I decided to lump these two together because sometimes she shares the same content on both. Chalene is super spunky. SheĀ started out making fitness DVDs and selling them through infomercials. Now she has a huge online empire where she teaches others how to create a business and life that they love. She is all about balance and family. So it is great to hear things from her perspective.
Great Episodes
Starting from Nothing ā The Foundation Podcast
Starting from Nothing ā The Foundation Podcast is a podcast created by Dane Maxwell. They believe in entrepreneurs who have the courage to start from nothing, who arenāt born with special skills or silver spoons, and who are willing to fight for everything they create in this world. It is a great podcast that focuses on how people built their businesses from the ground up.

Which ones are your favorite?
I know I’m probably the only person under 30 for whom this is the case but I’ve NEVER listened to a podcast (and I’m not altogether sure I know how to get one on my phone haha). These all sound really really great and I definitely want to try to check them out š

What type of phone do you have? The iPhone comes with Podcasts app already installed. You just open it and you can search or see top charts just like iTunes! Super easy. And trust me, they are super addicting!
I love podcast too! I will be checking these out today! Thanks for the post!

I have only listened to a podcast one time and I just cannot get into them. I can see why others like them but for me it’s just not something that I gravitate to. I know a lot of people will really enjoy checking out the podcasts that you recommended.
I think I love podcasts because they come in practically every subject. I tend to focus on business ones but there are awesome entertainment ones too. š But I totally get it, it’s not for everyone. š
Ooh thank you for this. This look really interesting..
I would definitely check some of these out if you love podcasts.
Since I write fiction I mostly listen to writing and self publishing podcasts. These look fantastic and I’ll have to add them to my list. Thank you for sharing!
I bet those are interesting!!
Love this one! I’m always looking for new podcasts to listen to while I’m driving/working out/cleaning the house š I’m going to share with my audience as well. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Podcasts seriously are amazing! Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks for recommending specific episodes! Thats the worst part about finding a good podcast, (deciding which episode to start on)
I agree! I actually should create a new one of these since my podcast library has expanded since this! š Which one has been your favorite?
I’ve been enjoying the SPI podcast that you posted, and also the Influencer Podcast with Julie Solmon!
I will have to check that one out!
