The word “podcast” is a portmanteau of iPod and broadcast. That’s a more or less useless fact that nevertheless puts you in the know. When it comes to business, you need useful facts that can put you one step ahead of how you performed yesterday. Only then can you hope to remain competitive in your industry.
With that in mind, let's look at five top business podcasts that every entrepreneur should know about.
