5 Podcasts for Career Focused Millennials

Hello, friends. If you’re someone who is a high achiever and always looking to grow and learn in your career, then you are probably also an avid podcast listener. Podcasts can be a great way to fill random pockets of time if you’re driving, walking, or even just have 5-10 minutes between meetings or tasks.

If this is you, and you’re on the hunt for a few new ones then I have 5 suggestions for career related podcasts to add to your ITunes library.

1. Happen to Your Career

Here’s the ITunes description:

Want to do work you love? This is the show that provides the inspiration, tools, and roadmaps to move from where you are to work that matters to you and uniquely fits your strengths and talents. if you “Happen to Your Career” then you can happen to your life!

• Hosted by Scott Barlow who is a Career Coach

2. The Pivot Podcast

Here’s the ITunes Description:

Join Jenny Blake, author of Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One, for intimate conversations with authors and friends on how to find opportunity in unexpected places through practical tips and tools. Jenny’s motto? If change is the only constant, let’s get better at it.

3. I Want Her Job

Here’s the ITunes Description:

If you’ve ever thought, “I want her job!” then join us for curated career conversations with women leading the future of business — including both entrepreneurs building something of their own and thought leaders disrupting storied industries. In each episode we’ll give you the inside perspective on different career choices, along with specific advice and tips for building balanced careers and fulfilling lives. We believe that you can have a high-growth career and still make a social impact. We believe you can boldly challenge the status quo, while taking a step back to build a life you love. And, we firmly believe that your success can be determined by your own success metric. No one else’s.

• This is a great show where you can pick and choose the people or jobs that you find interesting without feeling like you’re missing out if you don’t listen to every episode
• The first episode that I listened to was with Laura Vanderkam (who happens to be one of my favorite authors)
• You’ll also learn about careers and jobs that you might not even be aware of or know exist, which is fun

4. How to Be Awesome At Your Job

Here’s the ITunes Description:

If your job requires substantial thinking and collaboration, this podcast will help you flourish at work. Each week, I grill thought-leaders and results-getters to discover specific, actionable insights that boost work performance.

Now, let his VIP guests guide you to becoming a better thinker, doer, presenter, and leader. More career fun, wins, meaning, and money await

• This is actually on my own personal “to try” list as I’ve heard a lot of people talk about it but I haven’t tried it out yet

5. Pursuit with Purpose

Here’s the ITunes Description:

I know first hand that it’s way too easy to slip into the rat race of competition and comparison. In 2016, I hit my first million-dollar year in my business…yet, I was totally miserable. At the time, I was focused on numbers and status, rather than what would actually bring me real happiness and create an impact in the world. That all changed. This podcast is about my journey to meaning and fulfillment and how you can bring it to your own life – today and every day.

• Hosted by Entrepreneur Melyssa Griffin
• Interviews with interesting people ranging from Lewis Howes to Susie Moore and Marie Forleo
• I’ve followed Melyssa for years and love her content

That’s it for today! Do you listen to a podcast that I should add to the list? If so, feel free to fill out the contact form below and let me know. I always love getting recommendations!
