If you're an avid multi-tasker like me, you probably see a real value in podcasts.
You can digest valuable information for your business while walking the dog, commuting to a client meeting, or even while working at your desk.
And yes, there are lots of excellent podcasts for entrepreneurs out there, but today, I wanted to put together a list of some up and comers in the world of podcasting aimed at the one-person shows of the world: The solopreneur.
With a variety of different run times and subject matter covered, these podcasts for solopreneurs are the perfect way for you to expand your business mind on the go.
1. Working Without Pants
Jake Jorgovan's podcast (formerly known as the Creative Freelancer Show) is dedicated to interviewing past and present solopreneurs who are all about living a non-traditional lifestyle. Jake asks questions about how his guests found their path and discusses his own interesting story (which includes one about his year spent traveling working remotely from 13 different countries.)
A Few Past Guests: Paul Jarvis, Danny Margulies, Ilese Benun
Run time: 30-60 minutes
2. Finely Crafted
This podcast by Matt Cheuvront and Blake Stratton is built around creative entrepreneurs and solorpreneurs who have a story to share. Specifically, the 'why' and the 'what' that drives their on-going stories full speed ahead. Covering topics like 'Building Your Nation' and 'Discovering Your Secret Sauce,' guests share the lessons they've learned from putting theory into practice.

3. The Side Hustle Show
This podcast is aimed at the solopreneur who hasn't yet made the leap into full-time entrepreneurship, but wants to...and wants to do it soon. Guests share their personal experiences on making the transition from a side gig into a full-time operation and offer their unique insights that can help turn a small idea into a thriving business. Host Nick Loper gets straight to the core of why and how his guests were able quit their jobs and transform their side businesses into their sole source of income.

4. Breaking Down Your Business
Jill Salzman and Brad Farris come together for a high-energy podcast that helps solopreneurs tackle tough questions. In each episode, they speak with a small business owner who needs advice on everything from hiring to pricing. They ask the question, 'What's your problem?' and then provide actionable tips and suggestions that will help solve it. Much more informal in nature, this podcast for solopreneurs is a nice way to break up your day--and break down your business.

Yes, this one has entrepreneurs in the title--but it's a great fit for those in the solopreneur category, too.
