As a business owner, homemaker, and doggy mom, I feel like I'm always on the go. The only time that I'm sitting still is when I'm at my desk working, which can be for hours at a time. It can get hard sometimes to find time for education. I always want to learn about the latest and greatest in my field, as well as stay on the know about what's going on in the world, but I don't really have much time to sit and read news articles or white papers—enter podcasts!
I make a point of spending at least 1 to 1.5 hours a day walking my dog. Sometimes at 7am, sometimes at 7pm. Either way, I've found that audio books and podcasts are great ways to use that time productively when it's just me, my dog, and the trail. Here are some of the podcasts that I feel I learn the most from and find the most engaging and fun. Enjoy!
1| For the SEO geek in you, SEARCH TALK LIVE
Hosts Robert O'Haver and Caleb McElveen talk about different topics in the world of digital marketing with an emphasis on search marketing. Not only do they chat about up and coming technology, but they also give tons of applicable advice that can yield results almost instantly. Who doesn't love quick wins and practical advice?
2| For the ad freak in you, YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY AN AD from AdWeek
If you enjoy AdWeek articles, you'll enjoy this podcast. With weekly features like "ads worth watching", this podcast is a great way to keep up with the latest and greatest (and also the not so great) from creative houses around the world. Specially useful if you're like me and don't see ads as much because you don't have cable anymore...
3| For the social butterfly in you, SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING PODCAST
This podcast is hosted by Social Media Examiner's founder, Michael Stelzner. He consistently dish out great advice about how to keep up with the ever-changing world of social media. The show also brings in guests from a variety of social marketing backgrounds that will teach you how to take advantage of the latest tools put out by social platforms.
So there you have it. These are some of the podcasts that accompany me in my doggy walks every day. Some other ones that I often listen to and are worth mentioning are Google Partners, The New Yorker Radio Hour, Stuff You Should Know, and Digital Marketing Podcast.
Do you have a favorite podcast? I'm always looking for suggestions so let me know in the comments!
Happy listening :)
