Weaving in more old fashioned lifestyle content has been top of mind for awhile now, so I've decided to use the time I'm usually driving carpool to churning out these posts.

Podcasts are a great way to get myself out of my head, so whether you're keeping busy folding the laundry, working on a puzzle or want some background noice while drawing a bath, these are some favorites across all categories.
I've tapped my partner-in-crime and work wife Molly to chime in as she is often the one nudging me to listen to some of these as they're super relevant for gaininng some business prowess and seizing the entrepreneur lifestyle. Needless to say, there's something for everyone, and I can't think of a better time for some continued learning and enlightening conversations than right now.
