Turn up the podcast! 🎤
Good morning. Let's talk about podcasts.
I will be the first to admit that I originally resisted the podcast craze. After a period of trial and error (and several persuasive arguments from friends), I did eventually become a podcast listener, and here's why:
Podcast hosts are passionate. There is something captivating about listening to individuals discuss topics that are meaningful to them. It is this passion that frequently leads people to become routine listeners.
Modern-day podcasts are educational. There is no shortage of topics to learn about. A simple Google search can pull up podcasts from books to relationships to current events. Choose a topic that you are interested in or passionate about and turn up the volume!
Podcasts are an excellent source of inspiration. Individuals from all walks of life have shared their stories to inspire, connect, and educate others. These episodes can support us on our good and our bad days.
At CG Sports Co, we are proud to support several podcasts. From Champions Mojo to Unspoken Bravery to Sports Business Radio (and all episodes in between), we hope you find episodes to connect with.
Happy listening!
