How I Built This, NPR
Guy Raz nails it in his interviews with major business game players and how they start from scratch to build the companies that we depend on today. I especially like the episodes on Whole Foods, Spanx and Five Guys. This podcast is a daily reminder for me that failure is acceptable and sometimes absolutely necessary.

Leave it to ZenDesk to bring a dose of empathy to your daily commute. No matter what industry you work in, Relate will open your eyes to the relationships and connections we have in our lives.

Her award winning show, MarieTV, is now in podcast format for you to listen to on the go. Each episode discusses a business related topic, with the underlying goal to “create a business and life you love.” If you have time and also want to check out MarieTV, do it – you will not be disappointed.

It’s refreshing to hear people keeping it real. Kim Scott and Russ Laraway take time to discuss challenging business relationship topics, with a checklist at the end of every episode.
