Everyone is hopping on the podcast trend in a busy world like ours because it is easier and more convenient. All you have to do is plug in your earpiece or connect to a speaker and gain inspiration or learn new things while working on other projects. I asked around, and the podcasts below are suggestions made by creators like you.
- The Futur Podcast
If you love Chris Do, then you will love everything about his podcast. It focuses on design, marketing, and business, and it is also an educational platform for creatives to learn the principles of business. On the podcast, Chris Do shares his knowledge on business, branding, design, and user experience. If you find yourself in the creative industry or space that aligns with everything design and branding, then this one is for you. Chris Do discusses and shares stories from experts in the field. Who knows, you might find your favorite as a guest on his show. I’d recommend episode 65 to anyone who likes Austin Kleon, the author of “Steal like an artist.”
2. Tim Ferris Show
Tim Ferris is everyone’s favorite podcaster and has several times ranked as #1 on Apple Podcasts. He has had guests like LeBron James, Kelvin Hart, Neil Gaiman, Peter Thiel on his show, interviewing them to extract their tactics and share some tips for their listeners. He is best known for his 4-Hour Workweek. Tim Ferris has another podcast, Tribe of Mentors, where short life advice from world bests is given. No matter your niche, Tim Ferris has you covered; my favorite episode on Tribe of Mentors is the one where he features James Cameron and Suzy Amis Cameron. They talk about their Favourite Failures, Bad Advice, and their favorite books.
3. The Nav.al Podcast
No, not about the army or naval officers; the Nav.al Podcast is a short podcast for philosophers, business-minded people, and investors. The show is by Naval Ravikant, an Indian-American entrepreneur and the CEO of AngelList. The Nav.al Podcast is perfect for team leaders and everyone who wants to keep their creative juice constantly boosted up. The podcast episodes are between 1–3 minutes and can serve as a morning motivation for you. Some episodes are 3 hours long. If you’ve ever wondered if envy is proper or how to set an aspirational hourly rate, then this podcast is for you.
4. In Hindzsight
Discovering Hindz podcast is like striking gold in a minefield. It is the perfect podcast to start your day. Every episode of In Hindzsight leaves you feeling inspired, and I will recommend this for writers and anyone who struggles with impostor syndrome. As creatives, we all feel a pang of anxiety and depression, and this podcast helps drag you out of that place and leaves you feeling hopeful and better. An episode of Hindz will have your day filled with inspiration and gratitude.
5. Brand Master Podcast
The Brand Master Podcast is a show for anyone who needs to understand how brand-building works. It teaches how to build brands through strategy, psychology, and creative thinking. If you need brand strategy ideas or tips as an entrepreneur, then this one is for you. The podcast hosted by Stephen Houraghan helps you understand your brand personality, brand voice, and storytelling techniques. Like Stephen says, if you want to brand as a master, the Brand Master Podcast is your go-to strategy resource.
