The key advantage that audio brings us is convenience. We can listen while we’re commuting, exercising, or working, and the growth of podcasts are just starting.
As the popular saying goes, “You are who you surround yourself with.”
The same applies to what you read, what you watch, and in this case: what you listen to.
I’m an avid listener of podcasts, and I’ll get my hands on any show that will give me an edge in life.
To make your life simpler, here are 11 podcasts to inspire yourself.
1. Lewis Howes
Show: The School of Greatness
One-word description: Inspirational
Lewis Howes has been exploding in the podcasting scene over the past year and is consistently ranked as one of the top podcasts on the Health category of iTunes.
Notable guests on The School of Greatness includes Arianna Huffington, Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss, and more, where they share how their journey started from the beginning to greatness.
With Lewis’ School of Greatness Book coming out in a few months, he has been putting out episodes 3 times a week, which includes guest interviews and solo rounds. My personal favorite is his 5-minute Fridays.
2. Tim Ferriss
Show: The Tim Ferriss Show
One-word description: Analytical
After hitting the NYTimes list with all 3 of his books, Tim Ferriss has been “experimenting” with his podcast show, which was awarded “Best of iTunes” in 2014.
The theme of The Tim Ferriss Show is “de-constructing excellence,” and with Tim’s vast network, he brings on the top performers in different industries to ask them questions like “what is your daily habit” and “who’s the first person you think of when you hear the word ‘success’?”
With Tim’s quirky personality, you’ll also get to enjoy some random questions like “who’s the first person you think of when you hear ‘punchable’?”
3. James Altucher
Show: The James Altucher Show
One-word description: Transparent
When most people think of James Altucher, they think honest, transparent, and vulnerable.
James is not afraid to reveal it all, and help his listeners and readers learn from his mistakes, successes, and lessons.
The great thing about James as a host is his curiosity.
He’s willing to go above and beyond to ask his guests questions that the audience is already thinking in their heads.
4. Gary Vaynerchuk
Show: The #AskGaryVee Show
One-word description: Spontaneous
Gary Vaynerchuk made it to the scene in the “Vlogging” world through his first show, Wine Library TV.
Although The #AskGaryVee Show is intended to be “Video first,” he’s always keeping podcast listeners in mind by explaining the visuals of what’s happening on his show – and an added dose of spontaneity.
Known as a social media guru, each episode is based around his fans asking him 3-5 questions on average on social media, where Gary gives his honest answer in return.
