Podcasts are portable collections of genius. Sometimes these are solo episodes where accomplished professionals share their industry secrets, and others are conversations between two people who have so much to share with women striving for independence.
You can listen to them on a run or walk, you can play them in your car or on the train during your commute, or you can even play them during your shower. It is one of the few ways to absorb information that can change your life while you are doing something else. Talk about being productive!
And I can genuinely say I would not be writing this if podcasts hadn’t assisted me on my journey creating the Independence Lab. I have learned so much, so here are just a few of my favorite podcasts that can help you fast-track your career.
