Five business growth podcasts to listen to in 2022.

A new year often finds us taking a fresh look at our businesses. We look at what has worked during the year and what has not. We set ourselves goals and targets for the next twelve months. We reset. As business leaders it can often be overwhelming to take stock and forward plan. If we are an SME we might be leading a small team, therefore decisions sit squarely with us as the only leader. As CEO’s of larger companies we may need to be taking ideas into the boardroom on how to maximise business growth and profit for 2022.

Podcasts can be a very helpful aid in our business journey. They give us access to experts and case studies for free. They are easily digestible in bitesized chunks. In 2020, fifteen million people listened to podcasts and that figure is set to grow. It is predicted that by 2024, close to 20 million of us will ingest information this way. We listen to podcasts on our phones, in the car and on our commute. A podcast allows us to digest information on our terms.

We have compiled a list of what we think are the top 5 best scale up and business growth podcasts to help you make those all important business decisions coming up to 2022.
