#1: StartUp Podcast
The
StartUp Podcast explores what it’s really like to start a
business. What makes it unique are the production values and sharp
storytelling. Alex Blumberg (who formerly worked with Ira Glass on
This American Life) has brought his honed storytelling abilities to
this podcast. And what a story it is!
StartUp Podcast.
The show is in Season 4 as of this writing, and while the
narrative novelty may have worn off (many shows mimic the format
now), StartUp’s value has only increased. Alex lets us hear what’s
really happening inside his fledgling startup, Gimlet Media. And we
get to hear the real conversations, including the embarrassing
ones.

Chase Jarvis is an enigma. He’s one of the most influential
photographers of the past decade, but that’s only the tip of the
iceberg. And we’re talking about a big iceberg. Chase founded a
company called CreativeLive. As if he wasn’t busy enough, he also
hosts this fantastic podcast.
entrepreneurs on his podcast.
Chase is an excellent interviewer and gets his guests to share
some remarkably candid stories. Ramit Sethi, Gabby Bernstein, Sir
Mixalot, Seth Godin, Brené Brown, and Mark Cuban are some of his
most recent guests.
#3: Learning With Leslie
Many podcasts purport to teach you how to build a business
around your blog, but very few are worth your time. One exception
is Leslie Samuel’s
Learning With Leslie podcast. It’s at the top of the list of
podcasts that are just fun, educational, and optimistic.
Others and Change the World!”
Leslie’s background as a university instructor uniquely
qualifies him as a teacher. His bubbly, optimistic, and encouraging
personality make him the kind of instructor you wish you’d had in
college. He teaches tested methods for
building a blog that will not only bring income and influence,
but also produce impact.
#4: Late Night Internet Marketing
Is it possible to build an online business while still excelling
at your day job? The answer is absolutely “yes.” But the task isn’t
easy. You need someone you can trust to guide you through this
complex process.
That person is Mark Mason, and in his
Late Night Internet Marketing podcast, he generously shares his
own hard-won experience. Mark has built a successful Internet
business while holding down a respectable day job (at Texas
Instruments, no less). He has a unique ability to make the complex
seem simple.
your online business, this podcast is for you.
There are many shows that talk up the game of “side hustle,” but
none that I know where the podcast producer still works a
high-level corporate day job. Mark teaches you how to build a side
business through his own personal example.
Most importantly, he shows you how to work the side hustle with
integrity. You don’t hide it from your boss, but encourage an open
and honest relationship that gives you freedom to pursue your
dream. Such integrity also gives you the ability to sleep at night
with a clear conscience.
#5: The Cliff Ravenscraft Show
Cliff Ravenscraft is best known as the “Podcast Answer Man.”
Over the years, he has hosted more than 30 different podcasts and
produced over 3,500 podcast episodes. He still serves as a podcast
coach and consultant, and his client roster reads like a who’s who
of the podcast world.
Over the last year or so, Cliff has focused more on the
“x-factor.” This has attracted a huge audience to his podcast, many
of whom had no interest in building a podcast of their own.
passion for encouragement, education, and inspiration.
Yes, he can and does answer your podcast questions. But the core
of this show is about personal transformation. He shows how to take
your podcast, your message, your business, and even your personal
life to the next level. I’m not sure Cliff would describe himself
as a motivational speaker, but I would. And I mean that in the best
sense.
#6: The Social Media Marketing Podcast
If you’re not using social media as a marketing channel, you’re
out of step with the times. The real question is not whether you
should be present on social media; it’s whether you want to be part
of the discussion about you and your company that’s already taking
place.
When used properly, social media marketing is the leading edge
of business growth. While there are many who purport to teach you
how to do that, Michael Stelzner’s
Social Media Marketing podcast is literally the one source I
trust for my information. Now you can dispense with having to scour
dozens of podcasts and websites, and simply enjoy vetted,
data-driven, distilled marketing wisdom.

Media Marketing podcast.)

dummy of online marketing and business? Someone who was willing to
