Our Top Podcasts for fun, education and personal growth
G’day, for those of you who know us well you’d know that we’re big podcast fans - Al in particular consumes most of his information listening to episodes while he chips away in the workshop. I love to learn - all things business, design and marketing and boy oh boy there are some incredibly educational people out there sharing their knowledge ready for you to just lap up!
We also do a lot of driving together when we do our deliveries, on these trips we love to tuck into a good story - either a juicy true crime or comedy. (Mostly switching between the two to lighten the mood).
We thought we’d share our top listens and I’m sure over time we’ll add to this list and one day we hope to add our own (when we find the time to stop and figure out how).
In a world of “small talk” it’s great to have a medium that offer long-form conversations.
We’d love to hear your recommendations, pop them in the comments below.
