Hey, welcome everyone, John Corcoran here. I’m the host of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast. I am also a recovering political hack and recovering lawyer. I spent many years in politics including as a speechwriter and stints working at the Clinton White House for a California Governor. I spent many years practicing law in Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area. You know, in 2010, I discovered the medium of podcasting. I’ve been doing it ever since. And we’re doing this podcast live right now on LinkedIn and Facebook. And for over 10 years of hosting this show, I’ve had the privilege of talking to so many great top CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs and companies and organizations ranging from YPO to Activision Blizzard, and talked to the CEO and founder of FreshBooks recently. It’s really one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done for my business and my life. And I’m also the co-founder of Rise25, where we help b2b businesses with the strategy and production they need to create a podcast that produces tremendous ROI and connects it with their ideal prospects and referral partners. And so today, we’re actually going to be talking about some of these different topics. But first, before we do that, I want to give a quick shout out to Michael Roderick of Small Pond Enterprises. He’s a good friend of the business, and one of the most giving entrepreneurs out there. And we just thought of him because we’re gonna be talking about some of the principles that he espouses as well around how to build better relationships. And I’m excited because my guest is my business partner and friend, Dr. Jeremy Weisz.

John Corcoran 2:10
They’re all off camera. So what we’re gonna be talking about today is what a b2b business should consider when starting a podcast what types of questions they should really be asking.

It helps b2b businesses to get clients referrals and strategic partnerships with done-for-you podcasts and content marketing. You’re listening right now to a podcast.

And they’re thinking they’re seeing them, podcasting is a hot topic right now, what are the questions they should be asking?
Jeremy Weisz 3:18
I mean, the first one you and I talk about heavily is how do you ensure you get ROI from a podcast? Because, you know, we see a lot of people start, and then stop. And the biggest reason we see people stop is because they’re not getting ROI. They could love doing it, they have a passion for it. But it’s not sustainable with not producing ROI for the business. And so the question is, how do you? How do you make sure the podcast produces ROI? Right? And it’s all about the strategy. It’s all about, you know, you obviously go out saying, and people always ask us, but the content is going to be amazing, right? We make sure that the content is amazing, right? Yeah. Yes, that are knowledgeable and that are experts, you yourself are an expert. But the strategy of, you know, who do you have on what topics Do you cover is a big deal when it comes to the podcast?
