If you’re an entrepreneur, it’s important to keep up with industry trends and news — but you’re also probably short on time, so reading the latest book or tuning into a news segment isn’t first priority on your list. An easy and accessible way to stay connected (even on the go) is by listening to podcasts. Whether you’re driving, cleaning, organizing, planning, commuting or simply need to go hands-free, listening to a wellness podcast is a great way to stay up-to-date and up-level your business acumen.
These wellness podcasts tackle everything from inside looks at successful wellness businesses to how to be a little happier. Here are some of our favorites.

In this long-running podcast, host Amanda Cook’s show focuses on how to take care of yourself and your business as an entrepreneur, so that you can lead the lifestyle you’re promoting to your clients.

If you’re looking for a high dose of motivation
Listen to Build a Badass Business with Diane Sanfilippo:
The New York Times bestselling author of Practical Paleo and The 21-Day Sugar Detox, Diane Sanfilippo is no stranger to building wellness businesses and brands.

If you’re looking for a peek behind the scenes
Listen to The Wellness Business:
Successful health coaches Karen Pattock and Kathleen Legrys host this show that unites what they call the heart-centered side (wanting to change the world) with the business side of your venture. They take you inside their own businesses, sharing their own business planning sessions and dissecting their own launches, to give you a hands-on look at what strategies have and haven’t worked for them.

If you’re looking for the latest trends
Listen to Goop:
We know this can be a controversial podcast, so hear us out. Goop may discuss some wacky topics, but they’re certainly known for discussing new ideas (or new angles). We guarantee you that you’ll get questions from your clients about some of the trends this wellness podcast surfaces, so this is a great way to learn what might be up-and-coming — or just to find some conversation starters.
If you’re looking for happiness hacks
Listen to Happier with Gretchen Rubin:
We believe a large part of wellness is your emotional health. Author of The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin hosts this podcast on doable happiness hacks like getting out in the morning sunlight. Her “Little Happier” episodes — two to three minutes — focus on bite-sized suggestions like looking at willpower differently. So much of business advice focuses on how much you can achieve, but this show looks at what you can do for yourself.
If you’re looking for advice from successful entrepreneurs
Listen to The Business of Wellness:
We know that sometimes running a business can be really isolating, and you feel like you’re working in a bubble. Consider this your virtual watercooler. Host Lauren Ames interviews other entrepreneurs such as Sarah Larson Levey, co-founder of Y7 Studio. She asks: “What does it really take to grow and succeed in the global wellness industry today?”
If you’re looking for personal and professional development
Listen to The Rich Roll Podcast:
One of the most popular health and wellness podcasts, Rich Roll’s show interviews guests on thought-provoking topics like quelling stress and using awareness as a superpower. He also talks to inspiring people, such as ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes. Listen to this podcast and we challenge you to not feel invincible afterward.
