The Top 5 Podcasts I Listened To In 2018

Podcast subscription rose significantly in 2018.  According to statistics, 60% of the US population is familiar with the word "podcasting"; and, it's only expected to rise in the next few years.  Another interesting statistic is that 52% of people listen to podcasts while driving; 46% while traveling; and, 40% while walking, running, or riding a bike.

I can tell you right now that I include myself in those statistics!  I listen to podcasts throughout the day - while driving, traveling, and when working out.  

In this blog post I will let you know about "The Top 5 Podcasts I Listened To In 2018".

I started listening to podcasts back in about 2014.  I remember that one of the very first podcasts I listened to was Pat Flynn's "Smart Passive Income", which I still listen to!

Over the years I've learned to reduce the amount of podcasts I subscribe to in order to focus and narrow my attention more on topics and themes that I truly want to learn about.  This past year (2018) I subscribed to podcasts having to do with business, money, health, and lifestyle.  

Below I will give you my top 5 favorite podcasts of 2018 (in no particular order).  Enjoy!

• #1) Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn
  • Like I said, I've been a subscriber to Pat Flynn's podcast for years now!  But why?  Well, Pat Flynn is - as he puts it - "the crash test dummy of online business".  Now, you know that Cleanerpreneur is basically an online business - as is The House Cleaning Podcast - so, it only makes sense that I listen to Pat Flynn's advice so as to increase my view of what's possible (and what's not) when it comes to starting and running an online business.  But, you know what?  A great amount of his wisdom and advice can be applied to a house cleaning business, as well - or any business for that matter.  He also interviews great guests regularly - which is another reason I am a loyal subscriber to his show.  So, I highly recommend you check his podcast out.  
• #2) Work the System
  • I subscribed to the Work the System podcast in late 2018; I did so after reading one of the host's (Sam Carpenter's) book by the same name: Work The System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less.  I actually wrote about how much I loved his book even before having finished it - you can read about what I wrote by clicking ... here.  This podcast interviews business owners - generally, small business owners - who implement Sam Carpenter's philosophy into their business.  That philosophy: systematization.  Now, if you've been a long-time follower of mine, then you know how much I believe in this philosophy.  The guests on the show share a lot of valuable information that can be applicable to our house cleaning businesses.  I also strongly recommend this podcast! 
• #3) For the Love of Money
  • This is another podcast I subscribed to in 2018.  I first heard of Chris Harder when Lewis Howes shared a story about him on his Instagram account.  Chris Harder's podcast focuses on having an abundance mindset - especially when it comes to money (hence, the podcast name).  You know that I also subscribe to that philosophy.  I strongly believe that if we have an abundance, loving, and learning mindset, then anything is possible.  And, I love being reminded of this every week when Chris publishes his episodes.  Want to start thinking differently - more abundantly - when it comes to money?  Then you have to listen to For the Love of Money!
• #4) Fat-Burning Man 
  • Okay, so remember how in the beginning of this blog post I said I subscribed to podcasts having to do with business, money, health, and lifestyle?  Well, the Fat-Burning Man podcast is the one I listen to for health information.  Abel James is a celebrity coach on ABC television who's focus is a Paleo-inspired diet.  Now, some of you might not know that I practice intermittent fasting and that is one of the main reasons I love listening to the Fat-Burning Man podcast!  Abel publishes weekly interviews on his show where he interviews guests and converse about this type of health lifestyle.  If you've been wondering what intermittent fasting is, or have seen the word Paleo-diet thrown around here and there, then I highly recommend this podcast!  It's very informative!
• #5) The School of Greatness
  • Okay, I mentioned Lewis Howes' up in #3 and here he is again.  Lewis hosts The School of Greatness; a podcast dedicated to interviewing top performers in every field - from athletes to entrepreneurs.  And, he also does solo shoes - in fact, he produces a segment of Fridays called "Five-Minute Friday" which was an inspiration for me to create "Clean Your Mind Fridays".  If you want a dose of motivation and inspiration straight from the mouths of super-achievers then  I highly recommend you check out his podcast.  You will definitely NOT regret it!

That sums up my list of "The Top 5 Podcasts I Listened To In 2018".  Well, are any of these on your list?  Which podcasts did you listen to the most in 2018?  What are you listening to this year?  I'd love to find out!  Comment below and let me know or send me a message on any of my social media accounts!
