I've only just discovered Podcasts in the last year or so.  As an artist and designer, I spend many hours in my studio creating. Sometimes I do so in silence, letting my mind wander and often becoming so focused on my work that I completely block everything else out. 

But, when I feel like I need a pick me up, I'll play one of my many playlists on iTunes and even plug in to Songza (now google play - which I have to say, I don't enjoy nearly as much) now and then for some fresh music.  

However, about a year ago, I was introduced to a few Podcasts.  I would tune in when I needed a change or felt like some inspiration.  It wasn't until recently that I discovered a few great podcasts that I now tune-in to regularly.  Some I'd recommend specifically for creative entrepreneurs and some are just fun and interesting stories that inspire creativity in other ways.  I just love to hear first hand, stories and situations that real people face as well as lessons learned and advice from those experiences.  I hope you find a few new favourite podcasts to listen to within my list!

Check out my 7 Podcasts for Creative Entrepreneurs List!

Being Boss - My favourite by far! I love the range of topics that Kathleen and Emily choose to cover.  And they sound like girls that I'd like to be friends and hang-out with!!

Raise Your Hand and Say Yes with Tiffany Han - I started a list of 100 Asks inspired by this very interesting series of podcasts!

Elise Gets Crafty - Covers a great range of topics from business, to creativity, to blogging.

The Jealous Curator: Art for Your Ear - So much inspiration here and on her Instagram feed too!

Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert - If you haven't read Big Magic yet, go to your local bookstore, Kindle, Tablet etc and read it! Enough said.

Serial - We listened to the entire season 1 while driving to Florida at Christmas.  Love how they deliver bits of information and interviews. 

Vinyl Cafe Stories from CBC Radio - This is a new one for me.  A friend of mine suggested it a few weeks ago and although I haven't dived in deep yet, the narrative and story telling is fantastic!

Let me know if you have any favourite Podcasts that I need to listen to!! I'd love to check them out!
