At Profound, one of the key pillars of our culture is the collective mindset to improve (also known as mantra #6 “High Standards, Continuous Improvement, Direct Implementation). This comes in many forms on a personal, professional, and collective level. And one of the key ways Profounders like to sneak in bits of knowledge is by listening to podcasts.
A podcast is a series of spoken word digital audio files that a user can download as episodes to a personal device for easy listening at their convenience and a series usually features one or more recurring hosts engaged in a discussion about a particular topic or current event.
Here are the Top 10 podcasts that Profounders listen to regularly.

Pizza serves up monologues and interviews with creative powerhouses like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Abbi Jacobson, and Morgan Harper Nichols that are filled to the brim with creative performance hacks and fresh marketing tactics.
