This week’s Friday Five is for your listening pleasure. Get those iPhones ready — and make sure you have some WiFi available for streaming.

I’ve been superrrr into podcasts over the last half a year. Not like they’re anything new, but to my routine they are, and I urge you to consider to add them into yours.

Each morning, after I’ve done my workout and showered, I make my cup of bulletproof coffee (recipe here), and then throw on a podcast while I get ready.

At this point in the morning, I’m energized from my workout, I’m fresh and clean, and my mind is ready to be stimulated (with the bulletproof being an aid to that of course).

If you’re a self-starter seeking some positive motivation like me, then I think you’ll love tuning into these five podcasts. They’ll get your mind turning and your brainstorming wheels in motion.

What to listen to when turning your passions into a career sounds appealing to you —

This podcast is a goodie. The name says it all. Cathy Heller is a singer / songwriter and just loves talking to people who have inspiring stories around turning what they love to do into something profitable. She’s uber positive and has a lot of amazing guests — ranging from Sarah Jessica Parker to Jonathan Adler to Trina Turk. Tune in here on iTunes.

What to put on when you’re a boss and need to hear it — 

I’ve always been a fan of Sophia. Once she encountered a little setback, launched this podcast and turned her company more into a brand, I actually loved her even more. This podcast interviews females who straight up push the limits and have made their mark in life. Get ready to get real advice from badass women, and laugh along as the environment is lax and cool. Subscribe on iTunes here.

What to listen to if you have an idea or want to get inspired to come up with the next big idea —

I love this podcast because, I mean, who doesn’t love Guy Raz from NPR?! Here Guy goes under the hood of some of the best companies and interviews the innovators, entrepreneurs and movers behind the wheel. Love the Instagram story — super fascinating. Listen to the eps on iTunes here.

What to throw on when you need some encouragement to stick to your goals — 

Okay, this girl and her amazing podcast. She’s down to freakin’ earth, real, beautiful and bold. JK aims to help people redefine success and chase bigger more meaningful dreams. I love listening to this when I need a good laugh and pick me up. Also, her home — dreamy! Check it on iTunes now.

What to play when you want to get down to biz niz — 

This guy. He’s like insane — in the best way. Overall impressiveness in life. Though he sounds somewhat like a superhuman, he kicks ass in life and shares constant tips on how you can too, in the least cheesy way. I love this podcast because he interviews in a very efficient way that will get you moving as an entrepreneur. I love the ep on Richard Branson. Listen to all on iTunes right meow.

Heyooo — sounds like you got some fun mornings ahead next week!

Can I get a hell yes for the weekend? 🙂
