🎙️ Listen for the Missing Piece


I’m a big fan of HubSpot’s blog, and while scrolling, I saw their 2024 Entrepreneurship Trends Report.

What I highlighted was that, according to their survey, 70% of entrepreneurs started their businesses because they wanted to change their career or lifestyle.

And even 45% of people became entrepreneurs because they wanted to be their own boss or escape the 9-5.

Interesting stats, right?

Indeed, almost everyone who reads this newsletter has that dream: being your own boss, building something meaningful, or creating a life of financial freedom.

You might also want to start a business, or maybe you’re trying but aren’t sure what to do, where to find good ideas or even what steps to take.

I think it’s completely normal to feel unsure about your next move, but you can still find helpful resources to guide you.

And one great learning tool that many people don’t think about is podcasts.

Yes, podcasts are so powerful because:

  • You can learn while doing other things like driving or exercising
  • You get to hear real stories from people who started just like you
  • They don’t cost anything to listen to

So if you’re looking for such knowledge, motivation, inspiration, or maybe learning from stories, podcasts can be a great companion.

But here’s something even more important: which ones are worth listening to?

Well, I did some research and found some amazing podcasts for entrepreneurs, including ones I’m already listening to.

​Check out the list here!

💡 Quick Tip: Take notes while listening to these podcasts! Use your phone’s Notes app to write down:

  • Important lessons you learn
  • Business ideas that come to mind
  • Tips you want to try later

This simple habit will help you remember the best advice and create your own guide for starting a business…

Cheers,

Minosh.

Cooking a full meal in 5 minutes used to sound impossible. Now that’s basically what AI is doing for content. Business Insider explained that companies like Mondelēz can now turn an idea into a short social video in under five minutes, Coca-Cola uses AI in campaign idea generation, and Svedka even used it in a Super Bowl ad. And when it comes to the bigger picture, agencies are even testing ad ideas with synthetic focus groups before spending money on production. In other words, what that...

The other day, I saw a brand on Facebook trying really hard to sound young. The video had loud music, quick cuts every second, and big captions jumping on the screen. The person in the video kept saying things like “This product is honestly crazy good,” and “You guys are not ready for this.” Slang everywhere and trendy words in almost every line. But after watching the whole thing, I still didn’t really understand what the product actually did. No clear example. No simple explanation. So even...

The other day, I was thinking about how most people still treat TikTok like a place to scroll when they’re bored. You know, just for watching that random stuff, like someone reviewing a $14 croissant like it’s a life event. Or a guy explaining how to get rich while sitting in a rented Lamborghini. Anyway, you get the idea. But that view is getting old. People now open TikTok and type in questions like they used to do on Google. They want a quick answer they can watch. And believe it or not,...
