MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME THROUGH PODCASTS


There are many times during the week that we can maximize the time we have.  Here are a few:


  • Commuter group ride to work (via bus, car, train, etc)
  • Individual drive to work or other times
  • Exercise
  • Personal enrichment time


During these times, listening to a podcast can be a great way to learn while you pass your time.  Here are a few podcasts I’d like to recommend.
