Several months ago, we told you about the top online courses and books that we recommend to help improve you and your team’s marketing skills.
This month, we thought we’d continue the learning spree and share some of the top podcasts that we think every marketer should listen to (for all you auditory learners out there!).
Podcasts are awesome because, unlike books and online courses, you can listen to them while on the go or doing something else, like driving, running, or doing laundry.
So with the following podcasts, you can get better at marketing while driving, running, doing laundry…How great is that?!
1. The GaryVee Audio Experience
Gary Vaynerchuk is an entrepreneur and founder of VaynerMedia, known for his marketing expertise and business success. His podcast, The GaryVee Audio Experience, is made up of a mix of #AskGaryVee show episodes (his old podcast); keynote speeches on marketing and business; tidbits from his video series; and interviews with celebrities. The podcasts range from under a minute to over two hours (most fall somewhere in between).
2. Building a StoryBrand with Donald Miller
Donald Miller is the founder of StoryBrand, a company that helps businesses to refine their messaging strategy. He is also the author of the book, Building a StoryBrand: Clarify Your Message so Customers Will Listen. (In case you’re interested, we published a summary of the key points of that book in this blog post.)
On his podcast, Miller hosts and interviews an array of influential people, like Seth Godin, Michael Hyatt, Daniel Pink and Charles Duhigg, who share their advice on productivity, leadership, branding, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and more.
