The definitive guide of SaaS Podcasts in 2020
Specialists are saying that 2019 was the podcast year, and those who weren’t on this medium will need to hustle up and enter as soon as possible with all of your guns out.
Now the competition is fierce and each day that passes, we have more and more content producers going live with podcasts.
With that said, what I want to bring here is a definitive guide of SaaS Podcasts for every entrepreneur, marketer, or executive to keep up in 2020.
SaaS (Software as a Service) is one of the highest growth rates between the startup world. Just for you to have a clear picture, when we talk about SaaS, we are talking about companies like Hubspot, Salesforce, Dropbox, Spotify, and many other solutions we have in the market.
But, you might be thinking just as I was a few moments ago: “where those guys got the juicy content? where they stay updated with the fast pacing market we live in?”
So I`ve stopped and realized that right now we have an infinity of options and podcast has been one the mediums that startups and entrepreneurs are deploying an insane amount of content.
Thinking about this I decided to come up with the definitive guide of SaaS Podcasts in 2020.
Let’s get to it?

Protect The Hustle
Whatever happened to “Hustle”? It used to mean shoe leather and elbow grease. But somewhere along the lines, it changed. Hustle became tweeting about getting no sleep, get rich quick and weight loss marketing tactics, and yelling in an Instagram video just how much you’re hustling. Hustle became nothing. This is not okay. Those protecting the hustle are still out there. Protect the Hustle is a culmination of interviewing folks like Netflix’s Patty McCord, HubSpot’s Brian Halligan, SurveyMonkey’s Leela Srinivasan, and more. These people are protecting the hustle all over the world so you can learn from their lessons in the trenches. Protect the Hustle is a ProfitWell original series and hosted by Patrick Campbell.
