top 12 podcasts every latin american entrepreneur should listen to
Contxto – When we talk about entrepreneurship, we know that time is often a scarce asset. We also know that learning is never enough, and the list of factors to take into account is probably endless for an entrepreneur.
This is where podcasts came in handy: often niche, in-depth, and widely available. A real boon for an on the run founder. Unlike written content, podcasts are a great way to gain knowledge and stay informed while doing other activities, such as going to the gym, commuting, cooking, working, etc.
On the other hand, podcasting is no longer a new trend. Indeed, in recent years, podcasting has consolidated its content deeply amongst the lives of Latin Americans.
Whether you are intending to expand your knowledge, just learning, or keeping up with those who are changing the rules of the game, we present to you a ranking of the best podcasts—proudly Latin American made—that every entrepreneur should at least give a cursory listen to:
Tracción
If you want to learn how to truly scale startups and hypergrowth companies, Tracción is your go-to audio source for that! Although if you want to review some of the key learnings, take a look at their blog, too.

There is one idealized vision of what a city-cum-technology cluster for startups should look like. Therefore, this podcast goes ahead and stamps on those rosy-eyes ideas you may have about Silicon Valley.

Cállate y Vende
“Shut up and sell” says this podcast’s title. And indeed, selling is a crucial element for a business that seeks anything approaching profitability or breaking even… Sounds obvious, but it’s not. So, this podcast sells listeners a sales-system for salespeople through tips and best practices.
