Podcasts are great tools on virtually any subject... However, with over 2,000,000 podcasts out there, sifting through them is exhausting. Any recommendations? I currently follow; Indie Hackers, Means of Creation, Creator Economics, The Colin & Samir Show, Influencer Business, and the Creator Lab Podcast. Along with all my travel-specific podcasts - Shout out to Shane of Tourpreneur and the Travel Massive Podcast 🥳 Thanking you all 💜 *Update:* After seeing how interested everyone was in this topic, Lynn Smargis; Travel Podcaster of Travel Gluten Free (@lynn-elikqitie-smargis) and I created 'The Basics of Starting a Podcast' article, watch this space for our series on finding your niche, growing and marketing your podcast 😊 💜 Read here: bit.ly/3yTMeqD You might also find some new top listens from 'Top 6 Podcasts for Creators' podcasts: bit.ly/3s0VHYZ

I was recently looking into merchandise for tour operators. We’ve all seen merch being offered as an add-on to a tour, and some really don't hit the mark. No, I don't want a postcard with your giant logo, but a fridge magnet with your excellent destination and your little logo in the corner, absolutely. As someone running food tours, I lean towards edible goodies, but then that's short-term with no trigger memory later. In comparison, metal re-usable straws would fit my ethos and have a long-term attachment value. Is anyone doing this? and if so, what do you offer? How are you selling it (through your website, end of the tour etc.)? Are you using something like Shopify to manage your inventory? I really appreciate any help you can provide 💜
