1. Goal Digger
If anyone knows their stuff about business, it’s the host of the Goal Digger podcast, Jenna Kutcher. She’s been featured in Forbes, People Magazine, and The Huffington Post. Her podcast is consistently one of the most listened-to business and marketing podcasts in the United States.
Goal Digger episodes feature interviews with other entrepreneurs, mini boot camps, and workshops to encourage all working women.
2. Being Boss
Being Boss podcast with host Emily Thompson is geared towards female business owners, entrepreneurs, and freelancers. Topics cover everything from managing your personal and business values to hiring strategies and marketing tips. If you’re short on time, Being Boss also has short-form podcasts under ten minutes long.
Podcasts All About Investing
The best business owners need to have their financials in order (obvs), including being smart about investing. These are a few podcasts that can help you:
In every episode of Girls That Invest, Simran Kaur and Sonya Gupthan spread financial literacy among women and explain investing, making it more easily understandable and approachable. They know what they’re talking about, too: they grew from novice investors to the hosts of the number-one financial podcast on Apple charts. Love that for them!
Money expert Tori Dunlap hosts Financial Feminist, where she shares all her best advice on smart investing and saving. She also features other experts on her podcast, so you’ll get information and guidance from many different sources. Dunlap went viral on social media after she saved her first $100K in her early twenties, and now she encourages other young women to do the same.
Podcasts About Pop Culture
One of the most essential parts of maintaining a successful business is staying relevant and up-to-date with all the things that are happening around the world (...pop culture). Here are some podcasts to help you out:
New York Times journalists Jenna Wortham and Wesley Morris know all things pop culture, and if you listen to their podcast, you will, too! They emphasize the importance of pop culture and how it relates to the public’s collective fears and ideals, which can help an aspiring business owner know which direction they should go.
This short podcast from NPR gives you all the recommendations and commentary you’ll need on the latest shows, movies, books, and more. I like this podcast because it spans all pop culture, from lowbrow to highbrow.
Podcasts for Online Businesses
Nowadays, almost all businesses need a solid online presence to be successful. Many businesses are almost completely online. These podcasts will help you navigate this arena:
In this podcast, host Rick Mulready provides expert interviews, actionable plans, and more tips to help you start and run a successful online business. Many episodes focus on maintaining a CEO mindset, which is especially helpful when you've started to build out your team.
For those who want to build or grow an online business, this podcast hosted by Chalene and Brock Johnson is a must-listen. This podcast helps listeners build their social media, develop digital marketing skills, and boost online sales.
Podcasts for eCommerce
The eCommerce world can be overwhelming for those just getting started, so it’s important to have access to a solid knowledge base.
My podcast, The Female Startup Club podcast, features the best knowledge, strategies, and advice from female founders and entrepreneurs in an easily digestible and conversational format. Every episode will give you the motivation and resources you need to survive and thrive in the e-commerce world. Plenty of the blueprints we dig into are also transferable to any industry, whether you're a service-based provider or a founder in the tech industry.
10. E-Commerce Boost
I like this podcast because it offers more targeted advice for specific problems, so if you have a specific obstacle you’re struggling to overcome, this podcast probably has an episode about it. It also features interviews with experts in the field, including Julie Joyce and Dennis Yu. I recommend this podcast for people with intermediate eCommerce knowledge, so if you’re a beginner, try listening to the Female Startup Club for a while first.
