Enlightened entrepreneurs: Top Podcasts for business owners

Wherever possible, you want to hone your skills and gain new knowledge. To succeed, you need to develop yourself both personally and in ways that will benefit your company. How do you do that when it seems you have so little free time?

With podcasts, it’s easier than ever to find quality content and keep learning about various business topics. Better yet, because podcasts are quick to digest, you can listen during your commute or over your lunch hour. The Lift Legal team has gathered this list of podcasts for entrepreneurs.

Mixergy Startup Stories

Mixergy Startup Stories is based on over 1,000 interviews with the most successful business founders and thought leaders. Mixergy founder Andrew Warner asks incisive questions to learn about their success and failures. He arranges some of his interviews with these renowned entrepreneurs into online business courses. The Starting a Business course, for example, presents six interviews that serve as a how-to guide for building a company. Each episode includes a transcript, allowing you to review or research particular topics such as product development, customer acquisition and sales. Numerous cheatsheets and other online courses cover mobile app design, preselling, affiliate marketing and how to have a profitable launch.
