8 Great Podcasts For Ambitious Millennials

Podcasts are the phenomenon of the digital era. I’m so obsessed with podcasts, and I’ve already subscribed to wayyyyy too many. Podcasts may range in a variety of subjects but the ones that I’m interested in are primarily podcasts for entrepreneurs – focusing on motivation, productivity, happiness/confidence, and blogging.

I listen to episodes any chance I get, whether I’m multitasking at work, going on a walk, on a long drive or getting housework done.

The path of an entrepreneur is a lonely one, and oftentimes It’s easy to feel alone when you don’t have anyone close who share the same ambitions as you. It’s hard to find a mentor, so I have resolved to listen to podcasts for entrepreneurs in order to learn more about online business. I’ve learned sooooo much in the past year.

I’ve compiled a list of people that I listen to on a daily basis that help me be a better entrepreneur, boss lady, and just someone that gets shit done. Expect the following motivational podcasts to become an incremental part of your personal development journey and help you in becoming a better version of yourself.

Let me know in the comment section some of your favorite podcasts for entrepreneurs! I’m always on the hunt for new people to learn from!

While doing research for this article I found myself binge-listening to Side Hustle Nation. That’s when I came across Chris Ducker. He is the mastermind behind Virtual Freedom, a best-selling entrepreneurial book on how to create your dream life by hiring virtual staff.

As you know, I didn’t want to niche down when starting my own blog, my excuse for this is that there are many sub-niches of personal development and online business and I just didn’t want to pigeonhole myself into one microniche because that would just be the death of me. I decided to name my blog after myself and so far it’s been successful, thanks to this guy.

That’s the goal right?
