Top Podcasts For Agents And Teams

Being an agent means never truly being off the clock. While it is important to take time off for self care, personal development, and good-old-fashioned R&R, proactive use of time demands that even when you aren’t meeting a client, leading a team, or closing a deal, you continue to educate yourself and equip yourself with resources in an evolving world.

TEDTalks can be a great way to get started, as they provide bite-sized chunks of information on specific topics from industry leaders. Once you have treated yourself to a few, however, you will hopefully have the background and inspiration to forage through the vast catalogue of podcasts at your disposal.

Podcasts can be used for team building or for individual education and conceptualization. You can listen to them at the office, on the way to and from work, or as you’re winding down at night. You can recommend them to your colleagues as points of discussion. You can use them as jumping-off points for research into topics that intrigue you or professionals you admire.

Here are a few podcasts that can be useful to agents, their teams, and business professionals in general.

One of those little steps can simply be tuning in to a podcast. By doing so, you are setting yourself up for education and inspiration, and when a team leader is educated and inspired, the team itself reaps the benefits.
