1. How Can You Expand Your Culture Without Leaving Home?
Where in the world can we find focused episodes to learn new skills and get empowered?
Podcasts are powerful! You can hear thought-provoking discussions between people that you wouldn’t necessarily get from any other form of media. For some podcasts, this is the entire format, where each week a new guest appears ranging from social media influencers, entrepreneurs and people from all walks of life.
Many podcasts have guests join in on an episode or two to talk with the main presenter, which means you get to hear the mindsets of hundreds of new people a year on topics you may never even have heard of before!
