My Top 6 Podcast Recommendations

If you’re already a podcast lover, I don’t need to tell you how efficient of a tool they are to drip insights directly in to your brain while you multitask. For this reason, I end up recommending podcast episodes to clients more often than books and about on par with articles. 

Here are the top 6 podcasts that I have referenced the most in coaching.
