Ah, the life of a young professional. Rise and grind. Hustle hard. We’ve all got a dream we want to achieve and we’re working day in and day out to make those dreams a reality. When the pursuit of said dreams gets a little tough, I love to get some extra motivation and inspiration to keep me going. One of my favorite ways to do that is through podcasts. They’re free and I’m able to listen to them from anywhere. Here are my picks for 5 best podcasts for young professionals.
5 Best Podcasts for Young Professionals
1. The #AskGaryVee Show
Gary Vaynerchuk is the real deal. He’s a super successful entrepreneur who uses his podcast, The #ASKGARYVEE Show, to answers people’s questions on marketing, social media, and starting your own business. He’s incredibly honest and no-nonsense about the level of work, struggle, and sacrifice that comes along with pursuing your wildest dreams. Sometimes I just need to know that I’m not the only one struggling. His podcast motivates me to keep my eye on the prize and work even harder for what I want.
2. The Lively Show
The perfect balance to Gary’s show is The Lively Show. Jess Lively is all about sharing how listeners can be successful and live of a life of intention at the same. Her show is a great reminder to prioritize self-care, and always stay in tune with what my head and heart are telling me. She’s a big reason I started meditating and I am so thankful.
3. Him & Her Podcast
For a hilarious his and her perspective on business, life, and love you have to check out the Him and Her Podcast. Created by Lauryn Evarts, the blogger behind The Skinny Confidential and her fiance, Michael Bosstick, this podcast is not afraid to get real. There’s a lot of business insights that come out of this no holds barred Q&A show and I always find myself laughing out loud as I listen along.
4. The School of Greatness
Get ready to be inspired with The School of Greatness. Lewis Howes is a former pro-athlete who now interviews uber-successful entrepreneurs, creatives, athletes, and celebrities to find out what makes them great. I love the wide variety of guests Lewis has on his show and that his interview questions dig into learning about the whole person, and not just the shiny, successful parts.
5. Girlboss Radio
For all my fellow #GirlBosses, you have got to check out this podcast by Sophia Amoruso. The wildy popular author of #GIRLBOSS is back with a podcast where she now turns the microphone to other #GirlBosses in her new series, Girlboss Radio. Sophia is as candid as ever as she interviews guests on their journey to success and the struggles along the way. This podcast only further cements the girl crush I have on Sophia.
Questions of the Day: Are you a fan of podcasts? Where do you find inspiration and motivation as you pursue your goals? Do you have a favorite podcast for young professionals that I didn’t mention? Which of these podcasts sounds best to you?
I LOVE The Lively Show! I listen to it every week!
It’s one of my absolute favorites! Jess is awesome!
I’ve been on the look-out for more podcasts to check out so this is actually perfect. Thank you!
Yay! Glad the timing worked out. Enjoy them Lovisa!
Thank you so much for including TLS in this round up. I’m a big fan of Gary + Lewis, as you probably know, too. : )
Love,
Jess!
Ahh thanks so much for commenting Jess! This made my day! 🙂 So looking forward to all your new podcast episodes!
i love a good pod! thanks for all the suggestions.
You’re so welcome Laura! I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks for the recommendations. Your “Young Professionals” title made me laugh a little as for the 1st time I wondered if I still qualify. At (ahem) 39, I guess I’m bordering on “middle aged” professional although does it count if I’m still mentally in my 20s? 😉
I’m currently binging on Hart of Dixie episodes and the main character said in a recent episode that mentally we always stay 15. haha Not sure if that’s true or not, but I always hope I feel younger than I actually am!
I love podcasts but am not familiar with these. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you enjoy them Jennifer! I love when I find new Podcasts I really enjoy!
Great list!
Thanks Maggie!
This is so great!! Just this morning…literally, I was just looking up different podcasts to listen to. Now, I have 5 new ones.
What perfect timing! I hope you love them Colleen!
I haven’t listened to any of these before but will definitely be checking them out! Love this!
Yay! I hope you enjoy them Christine!
Thanks for sharing these! I love listening to podcasts while I drive and needed to new ones to check out!
You’re so welcome Sheila! I hope you enjoy them!
Great list, thanks for sharing!
You’re so welcome Suewan!
While I’m not a young professional anymore, I think I would like a couple of these podcasts! Especially the GirlBoss one. I have a long commute and am always looking for more distractions, so thanks for sharing!
You’re so welcome Karla! I hope they help your commute time fly by!
Great picks! Need to listen to some of these on my drive home! Thanks for the recommendations 🙂
You’re so welcome Julie! I hope you enjoy them!
OK.. so a bunch of colleague and me often listen to murder case / serial killer podcast… I know! not my choice of podcast, but simply enjoying the laugh… again… weird, I know!
That does sound different, but I’m glad you enjoy it!
Some of these are new to me and some I already knew about. Thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely Martha! I hope you enjoy the new ones!
I’m not a fan of podcasts because the ones that would interest me are in English! Trying both to understand the accent and what they explain is too hard for me. Sometimes there’s a transcription, that is great for me.
Oh I didn’t even think about that for non-English speakers! What’s your native language? I hope some good podcasts are created in that soon!
I’m French. There’s a few podcasts in French but I feel as if they always are one step behind. My favourite marketers are Neil Patel and Pat Flynn, but I admit I have never tried to listen to their podcasts. Maybe I should give it a try as often podcasters try to have a slow delivery. But when I read Neil, I’m afraid his podcasts are also very long.
A great list. I’ve just started loading podcasts to listen to when flying.
Yes! It really helps pass the time!
Not only for young professional but any professional still in the work force, its very inspiring.

I hope you enjoy them!
