"Daniel, what are your favorite podcasts?"

Like many people, I'm an avid fan of listening to business podcasts.

While some people love to sit down and read books...I highly prefer to listen.

Maybe it's my own self-induced busy-ness, but it's very hard for me to sit down and concentrate on the pages.

But...wind the clock back 10-15 years, and I was an adamant reader.

Yes, I consumed any and every book I got my hands on. I even won some awards for the most books read in school. (Yes, I still have the little certificates...)

Anyway, you probably don't care about all that.

But, I've been getting the question recently of, "Daniel, what are your go-to podcasts that have helped you along your journey."

So, today I want to share some of my all-time favorite podcasts that I contribute a lot of my success to. You can think of this as my "Academy Awards for Podcasts".

So to kick things off...

#6: Sold With Webinars - Joel Erway

https://open.spotify.com/show/7CclXwzTUBRc2Y1LYaimNa...

In this podcast, Joel breaks down how you can sell ANYTHING with a short 15 minute presentation. Yes, even you, who may be thinking of starting a new business can quickly reach a large volume of buyers in no time. This podcast is a huge favorite of mine because it gives insight on buyer behavior and flips the traditional webinar sales presentation methods on its head. Joel, thank you!

#5: The Tony Robbins Podcast - Tony Robbins

https://open.spotify.com/show/6fZXOzehJ9JtOyFjirF3qt...

If you ever need a nitro shot of "get-my-life-in-gear" then look no further than Mr. Tony Robbins. Anyone that knows me personally knows that I contribute most, if not all, of my personal development and success mindset to this man right here. I highly suggest that you scroll through the episodes, land on one that catches your eye, and listen to it entirely. Then rinse and repeat until you conquer the world. All jokes aside, this podcast is one of my favorites as it gives me, as the listener, the soup to nuts approach to having balance in all areas of my life. Tony, thank you!

#4: The Joe Rogan Experience - Joe Rogan

https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk...

If you've ever listened to podcasts, you most likely know who this cool cat is. Joe Rogan's podcast is one of my favorites because it is very thoughtful, creative, and intriguing for me, as the listener. Not only is it one of THE most listened to around the world (for good reason), but it's raw & unfiltered. I tend to listen to more of the personal development and actor episodes to get an outside-the-box perspective on success. Joe, thank you!

#3: The Marketing Secrets Show - Russell Brunson

https://open.spotify.com/show/00LEXOur6FQjMyd344PWcJ...

Russell Brunson is one of the sharpest marketing minds alive today, and this podcast pulls no punches. In his podcast, Russell shares insights on internet marketing, tactics from growing his own $100M+ software company, and insights into his personal life as he juggles work-life balance. It's real, authentic, and fast-paced. Russel, thank you!

#2: Capitalism.com - Ryan Daniel Moran

https://open.spotify.com/show/66Nh95srvfXfVt1jPcOZTs...

In this podcast, Ryan spends his time interviewing amazing business-related guests while also discussing his own personal journey and struggles. Ryan is the founder of multiple ventures, including Capitalism.com, and his incredibly authentic persona keeps me coming back. This is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who sometimes gets "lost in the sauce". Ryan, thank you!

#1: The Game - Alex Hormozi

https://open.spotify.com/show/6YNopzKDGDwf0auIpPTIID...

And to finish off the list, I've got Alex's podcast called "The Game". This one is an absolute knockout, folks. Alex has grown his coaching and consulting company from zero to over $100M in just a few short years time. This has quickly became my all-time favorite due to how he presents high-level concepts in a way that ANYONE can understand. The business growth strategies and tactics he discusses are worth $100,000's ...but it's all free in his podcast. Alex, thank you!

Now, I personally selected all of these podcasts because each show host is what I consider to be a "Mentor-I've-Never-Met".

That fancy phrase I made up means that they have helped me SO much over the past four years but I don't actually know them personally.

Side note: if anyone is connected to any of these hosts, please pass along my words of gratitude.

So to wrap up...I encourage you to listen to at least one of these, if not all, and see where they take you on this crazy journey called life.
