I like to listen to podcasts while I work. It’s a great way to block out background noise and means I can learn while I work.
Life doesn’t suck…
because there are so many podcasts available offering so much information.
I’ve always been a reader. Books have kept me up way too late all my life. I lack the self control to put a good book down once I get going. There were many times during school when I found myself putting a book down at 4am after finally reaching the end.
Podcasts are a new thing to me. I never really got what they were about and true to form I thought they weren’t for me. I was given Tim Ferriss‘ book Tools of Titans for my birthday a couple of years ago and after reading about his podcast I had to give it a try. Since then I’ve been listening to business podcasts for the last couple of years.
I always thought self-help and get rich quick books were silly until I was told about Tim’s book The 4-Hour Workweek. I was in just the right part of my journey with my business that the book really struck a cord with me.
After listening to his podcast I realised I could have similar content to business books, but in audio form. This meant I could listen to them while doing other things. A podcast playing in the background was like listening to some sort of intelligent radio show and I could tune into the bits that I wanted to hear.
I’ve learnt a lot from the podcasts I’ve listened to and am grateful for everything they have taught me. I’m grateful that I gave them a chance and that I didn’t just continue to think that they weren’t for me. I’ve built up quite a collection of podcasts I like to listen to and look forward to finding more.
