Business Podcasts to Listen to on Holiday 2026

Holidays are the best time to gather fresh ideas. With a rested mind, long journeys, and quiet moments, this is when the best back-to-work strategies take shape. Here is our selection of 10 business podcasts to download before you head off — road-tested at the studio, approved by our team and our clients.

Founder Podcasts

1. GDIY — Matthieu Stefani

A classic, time and again. Long-form discussions, varied guests (Xavier Niel, Charles Antoine Winter, Céline Lazorthes...). Perfect for a long drive: one episode = an entire motorway run.

2. Founders — Sébastien Cros

A newer, lesser-known format, exceptionally well-produced. Features fast-growing French entrepreneurs. Ideal if you want to discover names beyond the usual suspects.

3. Vlan ! — Grégory Pouy

Marketing, society, and purpose. A measured tone with often unexpected guests. A great counterpoint to the more 'pure business' focus of GDIY.

Marketing & Growth Podcasts

4. Le Podcast du Marketing — Estelle Ballot

Bite-sized episodes (30 min), highly actionable. Great for understanding marketing fundamentals without the jargon. Ideal over breakfast.

5. Marketing Mania — Stan Leloup

One of the pillars of French marketing podcasts. Long-form, meticulously scripted, almost like an audio masterclass. You come away from every episode with a practical idea to put into practice.

6. Growth Makers — Gabriel Gourovitch

B2B growth hacking explained by those doing the work. Sharp, data-driven, and at times technical. Definitely one to listen to solo rather than with the family.

Creator & Freelance Podcasts

7. Young Wild & Freelance — Insaff El Hassini

For anyone building solo or running a small team. A fresh tone with guests who speak plainly. Perfect binge-listening material.

8. Creator's Sandbox — Adrien Baret

The benchmark podcast for understanding the French creator economy in 2026. Covers the figures, formats, monetisation, and platforms. Essential listening if you are a creator.

International Podcasts (in English)

9. My First Million — Sam Parr & Shaan Puri

Spontaneous business ideas, twice a week. Very free-wheeling and often hilarious. A goldmine for brainstorming on the beach.

10. Lenny's Podcast — Lenny Rachitsky

Top-tier product management and growth insights (Airbnb, Notion, Figma...). Long-form, rigorously structured. Essentially a free MBA straight to your headphones.

“The best back-to-work strategies are devised in flip-flops, not in meetings.”

Our Practical Advice

Download everything before you leave (mobile blackspots still exist). Put together a dedicated 'Summer 2026' playlist. And above all: bring a notebook. The best ideas heard on holiday rarely survive the journey home unless you jot them down within 24 hours.

Have a wonderful summer, and see you after the break to turn those ideas into episodes.
