For entrepreneurs, learning by example is one of the easiest ways to get lessons in business.
Madeline Ronzoni is the founder of Happy Rugs, a company that sells custom rugs to personal clients and brands. Despite having no prior business experience, she booked six figures in her first year of business, according to documents verified by Insider. And she's since worked with brands like Nike and Vans. Many of the tips and tricks she's learned about business, growth, and branding has come from resources like podcasts, she said.
"So much of starting a business was learning as I went," Ronzoni said. "Podcasts give me a bit of me time while I work, which I think is super important in order to stay motivated."
Ronzoni isn't alone in her love for podcasts. In 2022, there were more than 4 million podcasts listed on Spotify, according to the platform.
Insider compiled a list of 15 podcasts that all entrepreneurs should listen to, according to successful business owners who are devout listeners.
