Here is a list of career podcasts that come recommended from my friends on LinkedIn. I posted a few of my favorite career podcasts and asked people to share their favorites.
I have not listened to every one of these, but I feel confident you should check them out, as will I over the next few weeks.
Descriptions in quotes come directly from the podcast website or from comments from the person recommending the podcast.
Special “shout out” to the following people who recommended one or more of these podcasts; Mac Prichard, Tammy Gooler Loeb, Ryan Rhoten, Marc Miller, Jordan Bell, Rosaria Pipitone, Andrew Levine, Carol Fishman Cohen, Edythe Richards, Kitcaster, Rocio G. and others.
Where ever you see my Peak-Careers mountain logo, it means I have listened to it and recommend it.
