ANF is sharing the Ronati Dealer Series each week - we think our readers will enjoy this post which will help you navigate your way to the most useful podcasts for our industry!

Most business owners are constantly looking for ways to improve sales and hone their craft. Antiques dealers are no different, but in this niche market, finding resources to help you level up can be difficult. If you find yourself wanting to learn more about the industry, but don’t want to spend all your time searching for that information, podcasts can be an ideal solution. We want to share some incredible podcasts to help you focus on your business and get some inspiration from fellow dealers and business owners.

Listen Up! Podcasts You Need to Hear

According to The 2018 Infinite Dial Study by Edison Research and Triton Digital, “Podcasting continues to steadily grow, as 44% of Americans 12+ now say they have ever listened to a podcast, up from 40% from last year.” That study also revealed that 12 million people listened to a podcast for the first time last year.

In another twitter poll, 63% said the biggest benefit of listening to podcasts for their business was learning while multitasking. The second most popular answer was for finding new ideas, receiving 25% of the votes.

Respondents who voted in favor of learning while multitasking understand that podcasts are perfect for a busy business owner who is constantly on the go. Just grab your device, press play, and go about your tasks.

Some of the best times to listen to a podcast are on your commute to and from work, when you’re on a plane or traveling, while getting ready for work, waiting in lines, at the grocery store, at the gym…or even while at work. Honestly, you can have a podcast on in the background while doing most activities.

Here are some of our favorite Podcasts about antiques, collecting, dealing and the business of Antiques….Enjoy!
