Building strong business relationships through podcasting isn’t just important—it’s the secret to long-term success. Because let’s be honest: your podcast’s real value isn’t measured in downloads, but in the meaningful connections you create. So, how do you turn guest appearances into powerful partnerships?
In episode 47, host Mathew Passy sits down with Dr. Jeremy Weisz, Co-founder of RISE 25 Media - https://rise25.com/. Mathew and Jeremy discuss the relationship-first approach to podcasting that can transform your business and network—no matter your audience size.

Dr. Jeremy is an entrepreneur and former chiropractor. Through his own journey from healthcare to helping B2B companies develop podcast strategies, Jeremy has pioneered ways to use authentic podcast conversations to nurture powerful professional relationships (and he even met his business partner through a podcast!). Together they run Rise25, where they help B2B businesses connect to their ‘Dream 200’ clients, referral partners and get ROI, using a podcast. They eliminate 99% of the work and make sure you get ROI. Rise25 is an easy button for you to launch and run your podcast.

Dr. Jeremy Weisz has been featuring top entrepreneurs with video interviews since 2008 that include founders/CEO’s of Pixar, P90X, Atari, Einstein Bagels, Mattel, Kettle Chips, RX Bars, Big League Chew, the Orlando Magic, and many more on www.InspiredInsider.com
