1. The Tim Ferriss Show
” I deconstruct world-class performers from eclectic areas (investing, sports, business, art, etc.) to extract the tactics, tools, and routines you can use.”
Tim Ferriss is undoubtedly one of the most influential masters in the business world. He is a self-proclaimed self-experimenter and takes the necessary risks to gain big rewards. His focus on routine creation and maintenance has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, including some of our very own WIDSIX crew.
2. Creative Pep Talk
“The Creative Pep Talk Podcast is designed to help you make a good living, making great art.”
Our Creative Director swears up and down by this podcast. He lives every day in the creative space and uses the most intricate and imaginative parts of his brain. That can get draining and discouraging, but this podcast kicks you in the kiester when you need it the most. Even if your job isn’t defined as a creative position, this can be applicable to you regardless.
3. The MFCEO Project
“Learn what it takes to truly live the “100-0 Lifestyle”. Don’t just learn to win. Let Andy teach you how to run the score up on your competition and dominate in your business.”
Andy is not for the faint of heart – he is a straight shooter and is not afraid to tell you the things you need to hear. This podcast is definitely geared towards those who are ready to take over in their industry, disrupt the norm, and hustle harder than the next guy. He focuses on the success mindset in the mix of the basic business topics and we get pumped every day we listen to it.
4. Joe Rogan Experience
“The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is a long form conversation hosted by comedian Joe Rogan with friends and guests that have included comedians, actors, musicians, MMA fighters, authors, artists, and beyond.”
Everyone needs a little humor in life, especially those who are going through the pains and pleasures of start up life. Joe Rogan is a famed comedian who has also built a smart business model off his charisma and banter. Every episodes has a special guest but you’ll be constantly surprised where the conversation goes. Add it to your heavy biz-minded podcasts to lighten up and unwind to.
5. High Performance Habits
“Every week, Brendon shares what he’s struggling with, working on and marching towards – and how we can all live an extraordinary life”
What is so unique about this podcast is that it is an intimate and up-close look at the life of one of the most dynamic performance coaches. In addition to being let in to life and struggles, you get two episodes a week: one focused on tactical ways to improve a specific area of your life, and a recap of his personal adventures that week. The mix of intimacy and business makes it feel relateable and achievable.
6. The Gary Vee Audio Experience
“You’ll hear episodes of my favorite “jam sessions” called #podSessions, a mix of my best highlights from my DAILYVEE documentary video series, #AskGaryVee Show episodes, keynote speeches on marketing and business, interviews, fireside chats, and any of my new and current thoughts that I record specifically for this audio experience!”
Gary Vee is synonymous with podcast, entrepreneurship and motivation. You can see his influence and inspirations on every platform and in the lives of business owners around the globe. Gary Vee is one of our CEO’s favorite people to listen to because he is direct and authentic and does not shy away from making people uncomfortable. It is nearly impossible not to glean at least one piece of content from each episode you can use in your own business life.
7. Impact Theory
“Always eager to truly learn from his guests, Bilyeu digs deep and brings the urgency of someone hungry to put what he’s learning to immediate use – making the show not only entertaining and energetic, but also hyper-useful.”
We have found ourselves talking about Impact Theory at our WIDSIX Happy Hours often. If that description alone does not motivate you to want to listen, then the focus he puts on the desire to succeed certainly will. His motivational and practical podcast is and incredibly useful and timely way to keep focused and to attain goals and dreams you have been harboring as an entrepreneur for a long time.
8. The Unpodcast
“In a world where QR Codes kill kittens and “Customer Service” is an oxymoron, one podcast has set out to make things right: The UnPodcast with your hosts Scott Stratten and Alison Kramer.”
Part of us wants to keep this one a bit of a mystery. The name alone should provide insight on what to expect – the very unexpected. This is the perfect podcast for those who think out of the box and are drawn to being the odd one out. Trust us when we say, you will fall for this one.
9. The School of Greatness
“Find out what makes the greatest people great and how to apply those lessons to your life.”
Do you have a thirst for greatness? If you’re an entrepreneur you probably have a bigger thirst than then the rest of the world.

There are few more motivational podcasts than this one, we can assure you that!
