Launching a new business can be an overwhelming experience, especially if you’re starting up on your own, and you’ll be glad for all the help and advice you can get.
You never stop learning where the world of business is concerned – you’ll not only take on board the advice of those in your industry, you’ll learn from your own mistakes and from the mistakes of others.
But what if this advice isn’t as forthcoming as expected? You could try networking events and get to know other people in your sector or situation, or you could scour the industry press, the internet or even social media for guides to help you along the way.
Or you could check out any one of these five brilliant business podcasts, perfect for business owners entering 2023.
1. Mixergy
Founded way back in 2008 – before most of us even knew what a podcast was – Mixergy is a must for all business owners, from startups to well-established companies. It’s packed full of interviews with some of the entrepreneurial world’s biggest hitters, who are only too happy to share the secrets of both their successes and their failures. Mixergy hosts interviews and courses with more than 1,500 entrepreneurs and the Start-up Stories really get into the nuts and bolts of what makes a successful business.
2. Beyond the To-Do List
Every business can do with increasing its productivity, and if this is an area in which you’re struggling then this award-winning podcast could come in handy.
For more than a decade, host Erik Fisher has spoken with productivity experts to find out how they implement practical productivity strategies in their personal and professional lives. This podcast features interviews with people from all walks of business life and covers topics as diverse as project management to the problems with email inboxes.
3. BBC Business Daily Podcast
Billed simply as “The daily drama of money and work from the BBC.” this podcast rounds up all of the stories from the Business Daily Podcast from the BBC World Service – meaning it gives a very international outlook on the world of business.
Recent stories include how Aadit Palicha founded ZEpeto, a grocery delivery firm valued at more than a billion dollars, how business owners have felt about starting up since the pandemic, and how having a mentor could help make you more successful.
4. Business Growth Show
The Business Growth Show proclaims that it’s “a B2B marketing podcast that won’t send you to sleep” – a bold claim, but an accurate one. Hosted by Sam Dunning, this podcast looks at the many ways in which digital marketing can help your business grow through interviews with business leaders, experts & entrepreneurs across the globe.
It offers actionable B2B marketing, sales and growth tips to help your business expand. The website also offers guides and classes on things like how to best use LinkedIn, web design and development, SEO, and more.
5. Be Bold in Business
Presented by Samantha Hearn, a successful business coach, this podcast gives a female slant on how you can grow, scale, and succeed in business with bold and aligned actions. It positions itself as a way to help female entrepreneurs break from the convention of trying to fit in, be liked, and settling for what they think convention says they should – but the advice is universal and well worth a listen whether your a man, woman, or whatever in business.
