Bobby Geroulanos, New York, Listen to Podcasts

In the last few years, podcasts have become increasingly popular. There are podcasts on virtually any topic, hosted by people who are merely curious about a topic to experts who have worked in their industry for decades. For our busy lives, podcasts are the perfect solution for those of us who find it difficult to find time to read and absorb new information. Podcasts can be listened to virtually anywhere that you have access to the internet and can make your day much more interesting.

Enhance your career

Podcasts are a fantastic way to enhance your career. If you’re young and just starting out in your industry, find a podcast that talks to experienced workers. You can learn so much about finding and thriving in a role thanks to podcasts. Most hosts are also incredibly interactive and want to engage with their audience, so you can send in questions you have or ask for specific topics to be addressed. You can learn so much just by simply listening to a podcast and you’ll develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in your career.

Encourage lifelong learning

If you want to thrive in life, you need to embrace lifelong learning. Your education doesn’t end when you’re done with formal schooling. There is always more to learn on any given topic. Whether you want to learn about something in your industry or in a more general topic that you find interesting, podcasts allow you to learn about whatever you want and sharpen your mind.

Increase productivity

You might feel like you’re wasting time commuting to work or at the gym, but if you listen to podcasts while doing other activities that do not require your complete focus, you’ll find that you’re becoming more productive thanks to multi-tasking. There are also plenty of podcasts that can give you practical tips on increasing your productivity.

Support entrepreneurs

Some people’s sole source of income is through their podcast. By listening and interacting with your favorite podcasts, you’re supporting entrepreneurs who are looking to chase their dreams. Even more established entrepreneurs with podcasts benefit from your feedback and support because it shows them that people find their content valuable and they’ll keep creating it.

Get some inspiration

If you’re feeling stressed out or down, podcasts can help inspire you to focus on what’s important and actually get something done. Find a podcast that you enjoy, whether it focuses on increasing your productivity or is simply funny, and listen to it when you feel like you need an energy and mood boost.
