My Favorite Podcasts For Creatives

Running a small business is full of plot twists, but podcasts can been a lifeline— part teacher, part pep talk, part permission slip to keep going. If you're craving content that’s actually useful, here are five go-to shows I keep in rotation.

BUILD WITH LEILA HORMOZI

➝ For scaling without the corporate-speak.

Leila gets straight to the point: no sugarcoating, no buzzwords, no 90-minute episodes that say what could’ve been said in 10. She dives into what it really takes to scale a team and lead with clarity. Her episodes are like a cool splash of water on a fiery “what am I even doing with my business” day.

Why I love it: It’s grounded, honest, and instantly actionable.
Great for: Scaling, leadership, mindset resets.

THE HAPPINESS LAB WITH LAURIE SANTOS

➝ Because what’s the point of success if you’re constantly burnt out?

Laurie takes the science of happiness and makes it actually fun (shocking, I know). This one’s perfect for those days when your to-do list is 15 tabs long and your brain feels like static. It reminds me that well-being is a business strategy—and that taking care of yourself doesn’t mean you care less about your goals.

Why I love it: It helps me recalibrate when I’ve gone too deep into productivity mode.
Great for: Psychology, well-being, balancing ambition with sanity.

THE FUTUR WITH CHRIS DO

➝ If you’re a creative entrepreneur, this one’s a must.

This show makes me wish I’d majored in creative business strategy (if that were a thing). Chris breaks down branding, pricing, and client communication in ways that are clear, direct, and confidence-boosting. It’s like getting the design school crash course they never taught you—plus a pep talk to raise your rates.

Why I love it: It speaks directly to creative business owners—especially those of us figuring it out as we go.
Great for: Branding, marketing, charging your worth.

HIDDEN BRAIN WITH SHANKAR VEDANTAM

➝ For understanding how people actually think (and make decisions).

This one isn’t a business podcast, per se—but it’s pure gold if you care about storytelling, customer behavior, or writing copy that connects. Shankar dives into the psychology behind our choices, revealing why we act the way we do (and how to use that knowledge wisely).

Why I love it: It gives me fresh angles for brand strategy and content creation.
Great for: Persuasion, storytelling, decision-making.

BUILDING YOUR BRAND WITH LIZ MOSLEY

➝ Practical, down-to-earth advice for small business owners.

Liz is like the friend you grab coffee with when Instagram feels overwhelming and your sales funnel looks like a scribbled napkin sketch. Her episodes break down brand strategy, social media, and content creation in a way that’s doable and refreshingly real.

Why I love it: It's reassuring and grounded—like a creative business therapy session.
Great for: Branding, small biz marketing, social media without the stress.

When you're ready to press play with intention...

If you’re growing a heart-led business—whether you’re guiding clients through healing, holding space for transformation, or coaching others toward clarity—these podcasts are full of insights to support you. Add one to your playlist the next time you’re on a mindful walk, prepping a client session, or winding down after a full day of holding space.

And if there’s one you love that aligns with intentional growth and deep impact, send it my way—I’m always looking to expand the rotation.
