Whether you want to start your business or you’re simply looking to enhance your current one, podcasts for personal brand-building are the way to go!
Podcasts will always be the quickest, most effortless way to gain new information, expand your mindset and come up with ideas. Plus, you can take podcasts anywhere you go. Put it in the background while you go for a walk, blast it while you’re driving, or even when taking a shower (the universal great-ideas generator).
As a personal brand strategist and consultant, podcasts not only helped me develop a powerful brand, but allowed me to branch out of the social media hamster wheel and I use them as part of my marketing strategy.
Here are my top 10 podcasts (in no specific order) to help you build and elevate your personal brand.
1. Unprofessional Entrepreneur — With Felly Day
Felly is a no BS Marketing Mentor and Founder/Owner of Felly Day VA, a successful content marketing agency for Established Entrepreneurs.
You’ll love the Unprofessional Entrepreneur Podcast because of how raw, unscripted and honest it is. Plus, episodes are digestible and filled with action items you can work on right away.
Fun fact: Felly was the person who inspired me to start my online business back in 2019 and we’ve hired each other multiple times since then! Nothing like working with your biz friends. 😃

2. Brewing Up Creativity — With Danielle LaBonté
Nothing like a good podcast to enhance your skills, make you feel energized, and connect with other entrepreneurs and creatives walking the walk.

3. The Branded Cowgirl Podcast — With Sarah Elrod

5. Good Authority — With Amie Finlayson
This was my absolute favorite show when I was deep into my entrepreneurial journey and it helped me incredibly in tuning down the outside noise and creating a business that felt good.
Not only that, but Good Authority made me have an honest look at my business and practices, realizing I wasn’t running the most ethical and sustainable business 😅 Thanks to her podcast, I can easily spot bro marketing (both in my and other businesses) and I will encourage anyone to binge the entire series.
Unfortunately, the podcast was discontinued, but I found myself listening to her episodes again over time and they still provide tons of value. Talk about GREAT content 😉
6. Yay For Business — With Courtney Chaal
This is one of the best podcasts for personal brand building that I could listen to for hours. In fact, I have.
No matter whether I know about a topic or I am a complete newbie, Yay For Business is the gift that keeps on giving. I can guarantee you that no matter what episode you pick, you’ll have actionable homework that will make you excited to execute (especially the 10 min tips!)
7. Grounded CEO — With Denis Sindler
Let’s switch gears for a moment and consider our nervous system. Denis from @ImpactfulLeader demystifies entrepreneurship and brings all of his high-performance tools and methods to help you surrender to control without sacrificing business results.
Rooted in neuroscience and psychology, you’ll love this podcast if you’re done pushing, feeling exhausted and burnout from your business.
I can personally vouch for Denis as I was one of his 1:1 clients and the transformation I was able to witness in 5 weeks alone was just groundbreaking — and he gives his 100% on his podcast!
8. Demi’s Diary — With Demi
This is one of those podcasts for personal brand building that will increase your ambition by 1000%! This is a great listen for you if you need a great boost of motivation or want to explore different strategies to grow your business.
Expect multi-passionate conversations, marketing, sales and the occasional belly laugh.
Listen to the important connection between branding and confidence in this super fun episode!
9. The Simple Business Show — With Nesha Woolery
This was the very first podcast I started listening to when I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey in 2020. Not only it was relatable, but it was speaking my language, too. It didn’t involve uber-complicated marketing strategies, sales funnels or asking me to run a 10k ads campaign.
I still listen to this podcast and find the strategies, breakthroughs and realizations to be simple, actionable, and relatable.
No matter your business journey, this podcast is for any entrepreneur who wants to work less, earn more, and keep things simple.

Whether Dallas coaches volunteers through their blocks, or she slips into the client chair to be coached by a special guest, each episode features tangible strategies and essential inner work to help you stop struggling and start making a real difference in the world.
If you’re a values-driven coach and you want to make more money and help more people, Coaches on a Mission is the best podcast to take you there.
