Listen up, ladies. As an entrepreneur, your time is valuable. When you’re spending 8-10 hours a day working, it can feel hard to pull away to listen to a podcast.

But, it's always important to remember that no matter where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, it is crucial to keep learning, sis.  

I find that in this technology-driven age, it is easier than ever to listen to high-quality content and educate yourself on various entrepreneurial topics.  As you explore podcasts, try to find ones that entertain you, while keeping you both inspired and engaged. Ultimately, listening to a podcast should improve your entrepreneurial mindset — because otherwise, what is the point?

So how do you find which entrepreneur podcasts are worth the listen? That’s why I’m here, sis. I’ve rounded up five podcasts for aspiring entrepreneurs that actually teach something.

OK, so, it’s not officially a business podcast, but Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations delve right into how to live your life with purpose and conviction. It’s unique in that Oprah sits down with people from all different backgrounds, and yet each episode deals with life on such a universal level that you feel instantly connected and inspired at the same time. I mean after all, if you’re not thinking critically about the world around you, can you even create a valuable, sustainable business?
