8 Podcasts For Your Next Road Trip
The GaryVee Audio Experience
I recommend this podcast for everyone. It’s essentially entrepreneur-focused. But the value provided goes way beyond that – especially if you need that extra push to conquer a goal (personal or professional).

The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast
This podcast is definitely female-focused with so much wellness, beauty and skincare advice that you can’t help but hold onto every word (and fill your Amazon cart!). If you’re a social media influencer or blogger you will appreciate Lauryn’s insight on how to build a successful personal brand and her husband Michael provides unparalleled business advice. I also really love their chemistry. Definitely an engaging, charismatic duo.

Happier with Gretchen Rubin
This podcast provides advice on how to mange your life more efficiently. Ultimately creating a happier self. Gretchen and her sister provide a lighthearted conversation. Showing how little changes in your daily routine can create a large impact on your overall wellbeing. I love their ‘try this at home’ at the beginning of every episode. Happiness homework, if you will!
Gretchen Rubin is HAPPIER, and she wants you to be happier too. The #1 bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before gets more personal than ever as she brings her practical, manageable advice about happiness and good habits to this lively, thought-provoking podcast. Gretchen’s cohost and guinea pig is her younger sister, Elizabeth Craft, a TV writer and producer living in Los Angeles, who (lovingly) refers to Gretchen as her happiness bully. Part of the Panoply Network.
The Tim Ferris Show
This podcast is extremely intriguing as Tim interviews the best of the best (in every field!). A true expert himself, Tim offers amazing tips on ultimate performance – exceeding expectations, and maximizing your potential.
Tim Ferriss is a self-experimenter and bestselling author, best known for The 4-Hour Workweek, which has been translated into 40+ languages. Newsweek calls him “the world’s best human guinea pig,” and The New York Times calls him “a cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk.” In this show, he deconstructs world-class performers from eclectic areas (investing, chess, pro sports, etc.), digging deep to find the tools, tactics, and tricks that listeners can use.

ProBlogger Podcast
This podcast is probably the most specific one on the list. In that, it really is just for bloggers.
