Regularly stimulating your mind with fresh ideas from successful business people is a good habit to establish. One thing we believe strongly in [here at Lean Labs](https://www.lean-labs.com/solutions) is that to win your market, you need to be different from your competitors and be able to communicate that difference to the world. If you get stuck doing the same things you've been doing for a decade or parroting what you see your competitors doing, you'll never reach market domination. That's one of the ways business podcasts can help you. You'll find some wonderfully innovative ideas and perspectives in these podcasts that will help you think more creatively and find new solutions to your customers' problems. These podcasts can help you make your business better. [Make Customer Acquisition Your #1 Competitive Advantage](https://www.lean-labs.com/grow-lean) At the same time, don't take the ideas you'll hear in these episodes as instruction manuals for strategies you should implement in your business without careful consideration and customization. For instance, you're going to hear a lot about [content marketing](https://www.lean-labs.com/blog/lead-generation-through-content-marketing-guide) in these shows. These people believe in content marketing or they wouldn't be producing podcasts. We're also big believers in content marketing, but the market has changed. It doesn't work in the same way that it used to and some of the luminaries we've listed below haven't realized it yet. The Inbound Marketing methodology that worked a decade ago is now broken. Consumers used to want to do their own research and do careful research and comparisons before they would engage with a salesperson. So, marketers built complex customer journeys that moved the prospect through the funnel at a deliberate pace, with lead magnets that led to more offers and resources, and finally asked for a conversation. But consumers no longer want to do their own research, sifting through the mountains of largely identical pieces of content that inbound marketers have flooded the internet with. They want to get their problems fixed quickly and they don't want you to be shy about offering it. They just don't move through the funnel step-by-step like they used to. We used to be inbound marketers, but we recognized the shift and have pivoted to give the consumer what they want when they want it. We call this solution [Growth Marketing](https://www.lean-labs.com/growth-marketing). So, as you listen to the best business podcasts, listen for trends that match what you're seeing in your own business. But also recognize that even the most successful business people can get stuck in old modes of thinking because these modes helped them reach their goals a few years back. ## The 20 Best Business Podcasts for Marketers ### [1\.

Before we jump into the list, we'd like to give you a taste of what you'll find in general, how we think you can benefit, and something to be careful with. Regularly stimulating your mind with fresh ideas from successful business people is a good habit to establish. One thing we believe strongly in here at Lean Labs is that to win your market, you need to be different from your competitors and be able to communicate that difference to the world. If you get stuck doing the same things you've been doing for a decade or parroting what you see your competitors doing, you'll never reach market domination. That's one of the ways business podcasts can help you. You'll find some wonderfully innovative ideas and perspectives in these podcasts that will help you think more creatively and find new solutions to your customers' problems. These podcasts can help you make your business better. Make Customer Acquisition Your #1 Competitive Advantage At the same time, don't take the ideas you'll hear in these episodes as instruction manuals for strategies you should implement in your business without careful consideration and customization. For instance, you're going to hear a lot about content marketing in these shows. These people believe in content marketing or they wouldn't be producing podcasts. We're also big believers in content marketing, but the market has changed. It doesn't work in the same way that it used to and some of the luminaries we've listed below haven't realized it yet. The Inbound Marketing methodology that worked a decade ago is now broken. Consumers used to want to do their own research and do careful research and comparisons before they would engage with a salesperson. So, marketers built complex customer journeys that moved the prospect through the funnel at a deliberate pace, with lead magnets that led to more offers and resources, and finally asked for a conversation. But consumers no longer want to do their own research, sifting through the mountains of largely identical pieces of content that inbound marketers have flooded the internet with. They want to get their problems fixed quickly and they don't want you to be shy about offering it. They just don't move through the funnel step-by-step like they used to. We used to be inbound marketers, but we recognized the shift and have pivoted to give the consumer what they want when they want it. We call this solution Growth Marketing. So, as you listen to the best business podcasts, listen for trends that match what you're seeing in your own business. But also recognize that even the most successful business people can get stuck in old modes of thinking because these modes helped them reach their goals a few years back.
