Jason Kulpa on Top Podcasts for Entrepreneurs

Jason Kulpa, a San Diego-based entrepreneur, discusses several top podcasts aimed at new and experienced entrepreneurs.

Business owners, both new and established, should be constantly learning and innovating; this is an obvious fact within entrepreneurship, one that must be embraced and applied quickly to ensure success in a rapidly changing business landscape.

Today, podcasts stand as an increasingly popular and efficient way to absorb new information about countless topics, and this is especially true of entrepreneurship and its spectrum of subtopics — from the dissection of managerial ideologies to the latest tools and tactics employed by rising names and entities.

If you are interested in adding podcasts to your arsenal of knowledge, here are several great programs to get you started.

“Unconventional Life”
As mentioned before, entrepreneurship is changing; it always has been. In a modern context, this change is now synonymous with the unconventional — that is, new and non-traditional ways to approach business and potentially carve new experimental niches. Jules Schroder’s “Unconventional Life” uses this notion as its thematic foundation, highlighting budding new entrepreneurs — most of them under 30 — to extract the unique and exciting ways they are shaking up their respective markets. If your ambitions lie in changing the world on your own terms, this show is a great starting point for inspiration.

“Entrepreneurs on Fire”
Hosted by John Lee Dumas, “Entrepreneurs on Fire” has for several years focused on the transparent, honest approach in entrepreneurship, all the way down to the financial details of its host (Dumas regularly reveals his own earnings, including how much he has made since the show’s 2012 inception). The intent here, according Dumas, is to “emulate success” and subsequently help listeners avoid failure. This show is a dual benefit, as it is both an insightful reference point and a strong example of entrepreneurial decency.

“Legends and Losers”
Though many would rather avoid the topic all together, failure is unfortunately a common part of entrepreneurship. For every entrepreneurial legend, there are many more “losers” who come up short of their goals, hence the name of the “Legends and Losers” podcast. Though the title’s latter group may come off as a bit harsh, the concept of “losing” is handled as a learning opportunity rather than an irreparable defeat. Host Christopher Lochhead aims to “spark your spirit, stoke your perseverance, make you love your failures, and for your inner legend all while keeping you laughing –” a healthy, constructive approach that keeps a sensitive topic accessible.
