Recently during the day, I decided to stop listening to music and start listening to podcasts while I was doing mindless work. I've never been that big of a fan of podcasts, but I have listened to a couple of them on and off for several years. Nevertheless, Spotify recommended some pretty good ones, which I thoroughly enjoy and thought I would share with you.
1. The Goal Digger Podcast by Jenna Kutcher
This is a show hosted by marketing influencer, Jenna Kutcher, on how to build your personal brand, find your dream job, and live your best life (among other things). Her episodes generally include interviews with a variety of women that achieved their goals or are a reflection on her own journey. The most important thing I learned is that success is not linear and definitely does not come without challenges. However, we all must persevere if we want to reach our goals. Overall, Jenna's peppy voice and kind message is a great way to stay motivated for your day (and for your life).
2. The Daily Boost by Scott Smith
I find this podcast especially good for starting my mornings at work. I'll admit, I do tend to tune out some of what he says. But, I do catch the most insightful stuff! For example, this morning Scott mentioned something along the lines of "there is no elevator to success, there are only stairs." And it's true. There is no easy way to success. It's one step at a time!
3. On Being by Krista Tippett
This podcast is more about the details of life than about career motivation. To my knowledge, the host, Krista Tippett, interviews different individuals about an assortment of different areas. For example, the other day, I listened to her interview with Yo-Yo Ma, the famous cellist, about what music means to him. The content as well as the title ("Music Happens Between the Notes") of the podcast were incredibly interesting and demonstrated how differently we as humans perceive music.
I hope you give these a listen and enjoy them as much as I do.
