5 podcasts every entrepreneur needs to listen to for business inspiration
As an entrepreneur, your time is of great essence, and that's why you need to spend it wisely. No matter how busy your schedule may be, you need to make time to learn new things and up your game. While books are a great source of knowledge, one cannot deny the fact that reading is time-consuming, and you cannot multi-task while you're concentrating on a book. Podcasts, on the other hand, provide rich information from experts, and you can listen to them while you're on the go. However, with thousands of options, it is difficult to identify which podcasts are worth your time and which aren't.
