Dr. Jeremy Weisz and John Corcoran are the co-founders of Rise25, LLC, a company whose mission is to help your business connect to your ideal prospects, referral partners and strategic partners using a done-for-you podcast.

The bottom line is we make sure you ROI from your podcast. Leveraging strategy based on our collective 20 years of podcasting experience, Rise25 helps you to connect quicker to higher caliber referral partners, clients, strategic partners and industry influencers to generate ROI without heavy selling.

Dr. Jeremy Weisz, in addition to running Rise25, has been featuring top entrepreneurs with video interviews since 2010 that include founders/CEO’s of P90X, Atari, Einstein Bagels, Mattel, the Orlando Magic, Rx Bars and many more on InspiredInsider. He was senior producer for 7 years at one of the early top business podcasts helping to put systems in place to help run the backend operations.

He was helping businesses launch and run podcasts before most people even knew what a podcast was. A few of his favorite thoughts on podcasting that he has been sharing for over 15 years – “Podcasts will be similar to a website someday. If you have a B2B business then you should have a podcast. Period.”

Another thought he shares with businesses – “Every business should have a podcast because hands down it is the best thing I have done for my business and my life. I have made best friends, met my business partner, and had countless clients and referral partners come out of the relationships I have built with my podcast.”

He ran a chiropractic & massage facility in Chicago for over 15 years before selling it and also founded a nutritional supplement business.

John Corcoran is a recovering attorney, and a writer, author, father of four, and a former Clinton White House Writer and Speechwriter to the Governor of California. Throughout his career, John has worked in Hollywood, the heart of Silicon Valley, and ran his own boutique law firm in the San Francisco Bay Area catering to small business owners and entrepreneurs.

He is the author of three books about relationship building and client acquisition and has written for Forbes, Entrepreneur, Business Insider, Lifehacker, The San Francisco Chronicle, and basically anywhere else that will let him. He has been the host of the Smart Business Revolution podcast since 2012, through which he has interviewed hundreds of CEOs, founders, authors and entrepreneurs, from Peter Diamandis and Adam Grant to Gary Vaynerchuk and Marie Forleo.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make the world a smaller place by creating connections – helping to connect more companies with their ideal prospects and referral partners who they love to work with.

We help organizations connect to their Dream 200 collaboration partners, strategic partners, and members/clients by helping them launch and run a podcast. We have been podcasting and helping organizations with their podcasts since 2008.

Side note: If are a non profit or mission based organization then we have a “Shining Light Scholarship” where you can apply for us to do a Free Podcast/Web Series for you.

The seeds of Dr. Jeremy Weisz and John Corcoran’s partnership was formed over 70 years ago, through the courage of two men who never met.

Jeremy’s grandfather, David Danzyger (above right), was a Holocaust survivor who escaped from Nazi Germany, while John’s grandfather and namesake, John Harriman Corcoran Sr. (above left), was a B-17 Captain and pilot who flew 35 missions over nazi Germany during WWII.

Rise25 seeks to honor Jeremy & John’s grandfathers’ legacies – and the service and sacrifice of all veterans and survivors – by helping to build stronger connections between business leaders, which leads to stronger communities and more lasting bonds.

Our Shining Light Committee selects mission based organizations to create a free web series/podcast to help your organization spread the word.

If you know of a mission based organization that we could help please share this page – Shining Light Scholarship –  with them to apply.  You can also nominate them by filling out the form for them. We donate free services to the selected organizations.

Rise25 donates time, energy and resources to charitable causes which encourage and support veteran entrepreneurship.

You can see the video below of an event where we gave a scholarship to a veteran entrepreneur and worked with several veteran causes.
