8 ‘Must Listen’ Podcast Episodes

Podcasts are everywhere and it seems like everyone has one…..I have three myself!

For this post instead of just recommending podcasts that I like, I wanted to get more granular and share certain episodes that I’ve enjoyed on those certain podcasts.

It can be overwhelming subscribing to new content for the first time and rather than scroll around looking for episodes that may interest you, hopefully these EIGHT specific ones can be the start to some new content!

Thanks to all the hosts for recording and editing and sharing with the world - enjoy!

Daily Stoic with Ryan Holiday

April 10th - 8 Stoic Habits That Will Improve Your Life

You’ve probably heard of Ryan Holiday’s books about stoicism that have been widely read and shared across pretty much all channels and industries. His Daily Stoic podcast is one of my favorites that I try to listen to on the regular, but this episode I’ve honestly listened to about ten different times since it dropped a few weeks ago. 

So many nuggets of wisdom and ideas to think about, it’s a blockbuster!


The Knowledge Project

Episode 132 with Retired General Stanley McCrystal

Leadership, lessons learned, combat stories, decision making and just great situational examples that can be related to so many things that people deal with in their own lives.

The Knowledge Project is also just a ‘go to’ podcast for me on such a wide array of topics and guests!


Jocko Podcast

Episode 290 with Admiral William McCraven

You might be sensing a military theme here with the Admiral and General and it’s true, I enjoy listening to military leaders talk about leadership. But Admiral McCraven is someone who I’ve read and listened to for years and this four hour plus episode is just PACKED with ideas, stories, lessons and so much more that I really enjoy.

At the Table with Patrick Lencioni

Episode 85 - The Whole World Is Wasting Time

Patrick is the best selling author of many books and his podcast is just as good. He’s always timely with the episodes and this one (The Whole World Is Wasting Time) is great perspective and packed with strategies for you to stop wasting time!


Unapologetic Leadership with Dr. Marcus Belin

If Not You, Then Who?

Marcus is an amazing High School Principal in Illinois and he drops super relevant and for me timely episodes on his podcast. This episode is one I really enjoy and have shared with a bunch of friends around the country and I know you’ll enjoy it too!

Women Inc. Hosted by Jenna Todey

On Holding the Line, Knowing Your Worth and Advocating for Mothers with Pietra Tala Akhaven

This episode is all about women (the entire podcast is) and this show is one of my favorites. Women as entrepreneurs, balancing work and family, and just different models and policies in the workplace, I know you’re going to enjoy this episode and the entire podcast from Jenna!

Money Moves with Lauren Simmons (only on Spotify)

The Wolfette of Wall Street

Lauren was the youngest female trader ever on the New York Stock Exchange and in this episode she just drops some really important and awesome financial advice. I’d recommend her other episodes as well, so much knowledge to share and learn from!

Side Hustle School with Chris Guillebeau

Episode #1937 Mural Painter Follows Signs to a New Career

Chris podcasts on the daily, hence he’s reaching his 2,000th episode which is just mind boggling on so many levels of producing content. I’ve been listening to his podcast for years and this very recent episode just jumped out at me and I listened to it again a few more times. 

The time is never going to be perfect, the situation may not be ideal, but it’s time to get started!
