5 Podcasts to Kickstart 2024

Five Podcasts to Kickstart Your Year Featured Image

Going into a new year people tend to feel a rush of motivation, ambition and drive. You’ll see a lot of people go into the new year doing A LOT, often too much. Life is a marathon not a sprint and that goes for the new year too, if you set off running as fast as you can, you’re more than likely going to run out of steam before you even hit your first milestone. Set off steady and as you mean to go on, at a pace you can continue running or the whole year. 

That means a steady flow of motivation is needed, however very few people stay motivated all the time, sometimes we need a little push and a few words of wisdom to get us back on track. And we know just the trick…

We’re bringing you our favourite podcasts that inspire, motivate and keep us going when the sea is calm but also when things get a little rocky.
