Business Unusual with Barbara Corcoran

1,003

I’m smart at getting to where I want to go, and I can teach you how to do it! I had 22 jobs before starting my real estate company with a $1000 loan and built it into a $5 billion business. Today I’m a ’Shark’ on ABC’s hit show "Shark Tank." It didn’t take a fancy degree to get here but took street smarts and a lot of courage. Life is too short to waste your time practicing someone else’s fancy theory on success. I give you the straight talk and the confidence to get there. Got a question? Call me at 888-BARBARA.

A great podcast for entrepreneurs, career oriented individuals, and people who just want a few tips for financial success.

    Too short!
    Great content- but way too short! I don’t want to have to find another podcast episode after only 7 min!

    Advice = Investment
    I called the 888 number on a whim and was chosen as a guest. Listening to the podcast as a podcaster myself reminded me why I called. Barbara’s advice and feedback was a financial investment professionally and personally. The most genuine person I’ve experienced a conversation with despite her stature. Thank you Barbara so much.

    Breath of Fresh Air
    Barbara has this amazing ability to communicate in such a clear cut, down to earth, and actionable way. Her moxie inspires me as an aspiring entrepreneur. She gives great, straightforward advice and shares some clever ideas she implemented to get where she is today. I love her personality and realness. She has the effect of a motivational speaker without the BS.

    Okay this is really too crazy for me right now. I’m not sure if you’ll post this because it’s a review a left for the Goal Digger Podcast but I hope you do still because it’s just as much about this one! Barbara’s podcast, Business Unusual was the first podcast I ever listened to because I’m a huge fan of Shark Tank (in fact my business is named after the show). Fast forward a year later and I have about 10 different podcasts that I listen to and Goal Digger is by far the one I obsess over and binge the most. I just had a breakthrough in my own life and entrepreneurial career over the weekend where I got on IG live for the first time EVER I was shaking and said the word “like” way too many times, but I faced the fear that was standing in my way. Not only did I get on camera but I told my “competitor” head on that I love her work and that I’m not going to let her success hold me back from moving forward with mine anymore. I told her I can’t wait to collaborate together one day. It was the most empowering thing I have ever done and that’s why I wanted to go live and tell the world because I didn’t want to lose that feeling for a second and I refused to turn back to my insecure ways. I feel more confident now than ever and ready for my next step. Plus, guess what? That competitor of mine is now a friend and we are even chatting about which courses we could potentially take together. Anyway the part that I literally haven’t told a soul about is this: Since I was in a bold mood that day, the last thing I did was call up Barbara’s podcast hotline and left a message. I started by saying that I actually didn’t have a question for her, I was just letting her know I’m here. I have arrived. Nothing is holding me back anymore. I told her that it was my dream to have a podcast of my own one day and I can’t wait to have her on it. And if she wants to save us both time and have me on hers we can just skip the waiting and have an amazing chat. I know Barbara is a bold woman and appreciates an entrepreneur who knows what she wants. Part of the reason I even had a break through this weekend was because of the Goal Digger podcast and Jenna’s heavenly words of wisdom, and the fact that the same weekend I had these major breakthroughs now this podcast of Jenna & Barb is being released I just feel like it’s a sign. I can’t wait to listen to two of my favorite mentors of all time talk together and I didn’t even want to press play before I shared this. Thank you both so much I admire you both more than you know and I can’t wait to meet both of you one day. Keep an eye out for the short little blonde teacher-shark. 😊

    Whatever you do if you’re in the workforce, you need this podcast. After every episode, I have something I can apply.

    Deserves 10 stars
    It is unimaginable how much value Barbara provides in this podcast. I have listened to every single one and have never found one that didn’t contain something simple yet profound. If I ever had to choose only one business mentor, it would be Barbara Corcoran.
  • gapeachy79
    Beyond grateful!
    I can’t thank you enough Mrs Barbara Corcoran for sharing your wisdom!
  • Leila b
    Awesome podcast, would love new content
    I love Barbara’s no-nonsense advice. As a marketer myself, hearing her PR-minded ideas on how to build a brand is awesome. It helps you to think outside of the box, in simple catchy ways. I really like the interviews she does, for example with Mr Wonderful and with the owners of Grace & Lace. Some of her stories are repeated in different podcasts, so it would be helpful to hear different ones. That is my only gripe though - I love her podcast!
  • DiaChris
    Learn from The Best
    Experts are people who have specialized in a particular subject. Barbara Corcoran is an expert in Real Estate but also an Business Entrepreneur and a Fabulous Shark. This is the type of people that we need to learn from, someone who is been there and done and tried and made mistakes and solve them. This is the knowledge that we can understand and will help us to avoid expensive and painful mistakes. Great information!
  • Constanza from NY
    Very Useful

    Nothing terrific
    It seems like everyone and their dog is creating a podcast these days - Barbara seems to be jumping in also but why does she need to?Nothing really special here, unfortunately.

    Loving This - Wish Episodes Were a Little Longer
    These insightful episodes have really helped to drive a healthy, career-focused self-assessment, very solid advice and Barbara knows when to tell you what to do and when to tell you she’s discussing a situation that doesn’t have a defined path to success. While the short length makes these great to kickstart conversations, I do wish they could be 15-20 minutes, rather than 8 (with 3 being credits). Overall, very, very good.
  • Dawn Nocera
    Shark Tales and more.
    I love the bite sized shark tales and Barbara's wit and wisdom about business and life.
  • MightyMA
    Love the quick and easy to understand advice
    I really admire and respect Barbara Corcoran for her business savvy, the way she carries herself on Shark Tank and above all her integrity in all aspects of her life. I love that these are short episodes, good counter programming to the longer entrepreneur-related podcasts out there. I like the format of having a topic up top and then answering listener questions in the second half, but I wish the topic up top had more time, just a minute or two longer at most. Right now it feels a little rushed.
