5 podcasts to listen to
In a time where everyone desires to be as efficient as they can, podcasts have started to shine and 40 years after the world’s ever audiocast, the podcasts we have today are super advanced and immersive. No longer do you need to sit down in a specific place and focus on a book or an article, you can now listen to virtually anything, at any time and anywhere, even while you are at work or while you are on your morning run.
If you have yet to jump unto the bandwagon or if you are looking for new titles to listen to, here are five podcasts that we at team August Berg, recommend listening:
Thrive Global Podcast
Thrive Global Podcast is hosted by Arianna Huffington, who is a Greek-American author, syndicated columnist and businesswoman. Having a staggering 15 books under her belt, Arianna is a veteran self-help author. In her podcasts, she sits down with a variety of guest speakers including celebrities, athletes and influencers and talks about finding the balance in life.
Our recommended listen is the 20th Episode of this podcast titled ‘Reshma Saujani’, where Arianna interviews the founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, Reshma Saujani. In this episode, the two talk about female empowerment, motherhood, and burnouts as well as tackling them. With such powerful and relatable topics, this podcast is a good listen for many!
The Tim Ferriss Show
Tim Ferriss is a bestselling author of “The 4-Hour Workweek”, which has been translated into 40 over languages. In his show, he deconstructs world-class performers from eclectic areas including investing, chess, pro sports, etc. and digs deep into the tools, tactics and tricks that these top dogs use so that his listeners may learn from them.
Our hot favourite from this podcast is #453: The Random Show - Zen, Investing, Mike Tyson, Artificial Intelligence, and the world’s best… In this episode, Tim waxes poetic over wildlife friends and foes, the folly of facing off against Mike Tyson (even at his older age right now), slow donkeys, universal basic income, breaking the pandemic pyjama routine, pandemic investing and so much more. In all, this was a really interesting 120 minutes of very informational talking!
Startup
Startup is a business documentary podcast by Gimlet Media by Alex Blumberg and wife Lisa Chow. While the first two seasons focused on the starting of businesses, the following seasons focused on different aspects of running a business, including tips on pitching your business to investors and getting a HR facelift.
Our hot favourite from this podcast is ‘Running a family and a business’, where the host speaks to the founder of Cisse Cocoa (Diana Lovett) and tackles something that many people struggle with, managing businesses and parenthood.
Optimal Daily Living
For those of you who prefer shorter podcasts on personal growth, Optimal Living Daily is a great podcast to listen to. Dubbed a blogcast, every episode is a ten minute or less reading by Justin Malik about different genres of personal development, including topics like motivation and focus, as well as tips on minimalist-living.
If you have a short 20-minute break at work, you can rest and reset your mindset with our favourite episode from this podcast called ‘Four antidotes to procrastination by Leo Babauta’, which aids us to clear our minds and give us space to think about what really matters in life.
The 10 Minute Entrepreneur
Hosted by Sean Castrina, who has started over 15 successful companies in just over 20 years, this podcast shares quick, easily digestible tips (of about ten minutes) on how to better equip yourself for success. What we love about this podcast is how Castrina powerfully and eloquently delivers practical and tactical advice that anyone can follow, regardless of the industry they are interested in.
An informative and interesting listen is ‘Five baskets you need to put money into’, where Castrina speaks of five pillars (marketing, growth opportunities, customer service, legal issues and market downturns) where business owners must pay attention to if they wish to grow out of the ‘small gradual business’ zone.

Edit: the team reached out to me and is sending me a watch without the poor engraving on it. They were extremely accommodating and offered to remedy the situation with great care. Mistakes happen and this organization made sure to do what they had the ability to do to make it better. Would buy from them again.
Original: Look, the watch on its own is very pretty and looks great. But this was an anniversary gift and I paid for the custom words on the back that were supposed to wrap around the outside of the top part of the back of the watch. Instead, it cuts across. I couldn’t get it fixed and back in time before our gift exchange so I live with that problem now.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with your August Berg watch. We deeply regret that the engraving on your anniversary gift did not meet your expectations and affected such a meaningful occasion.
We truly understand the importance of personalization for special moments like anniversaries, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the misplacement of the engraving. This falls short of the high standards we aim to provide.
Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to using it to improve our services. We are currently reviewing our customization process to to ensure that every detail is handled with the utmost care in the future.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. If there is anything we can do to address this issue for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team at contact@augustberg.com. We are committed to making things right and restoring your trust in our brand.
August Berg Team.
盤面が大きく、シンプルで、この上ない清楚感がある。ちょっと重いが（盤面が小さなものに比べれば）耐えるほどではない。
ベルトが、金属なので、大汗にも対応。
とても見やすいし、良い時計です。
Just received today- gorgeous sapphire blue face and leather strap - 32mm. Better than picture. I chose this watch because of the quality of August Berg and the fact they give back to others.
Just received the petite Strawberry Thief watch from August Berg. I love the design--William Morris is a favorite designer of mine--and the watch is very attractive! The watchband is short however and I wish it were an inch or so longer. I would recommend the watch if you're on the fence, but you might consider one of the larger bands they provide if you have medium/larger wrists.
I received my August Berg x Morris & Co Petite Willow Bough watch today. It is even more stunning than on the website!
I wanted a versatile watch I could wear both to work and in the evening; and I prefer my jewellery to be on the smaller/more delicate side.
The mesh band is beautiful and comfortable on the wrist; and the 3 closure clasp means I feel very confident it won’t fall off!
The Morris & Co design on the watch face is both beautiful & subtle; with the crystals adding just the right hint of sparkle.
The watch arrived in perfect condition & beautifully boxed.
The fact that every watch purchase contributes to children’s education in Asia & Africa makes the watch not only a beautiful investment, but money well spent.
