The Challenge

Every business needs referral partners and clients. Without referral partners and clients, businesses can't survive.

After many years of entrepreneurship, and working with clients on growing their businesses, we've developed a podcast and content marketing engagement system which helps build strategic partnerships, generates leads and referrals, saves time by connecting you to high caliber people who would otherwise be unreachable, builds brand authority, and creates marketing assets that will generate leads for you for years to come.

Best of all, with our system we do 100% of all the behind the scenes tasks to launch and run your podcast and provide high level strategy to make sure you get ROI. All you have to focus on is the relationship with your highest value clients and referral partners. We do everything else.

You are already doing things you need to have a podcast (you're having conversations already with referral partners, clients, and strategic partners – we'll show you how to turn these conversations you are already having into podcast content and make them go a lot further in generating ROI and staying top of mind).

We have worked across many industries as you saw in the logos above. A few examples of clients include: a government relations consultant, a consultant to CPG companies (from small start up to Nestle and Gillette), a boutique law firm, a former public company CEO and public company board member turned expert consultant and professional speaker, an ecommerce consulting agency, and many other business owners who need more leads and more clients. Our service is most valuable for B2B businesses where there is a high lifetime client value.

Our goal is to make sure that you get ROI from your podcast by forming invaluable relationships and being seen as the leader in your space.

About Us

About Rise25

Former White House speech writer and recovering Attorney meets Chiropractor and Biochemistry major

Experience and Credentials

Dr. Jeremy Weisz & John Corcoran have been deeply immersed in the podcasting world since 2010, and have been honing a process for using a podcast for content marketing, client acquisition, referral marketing and strategic partnerships with hundreds of clients.

Eventually, businesses started asking Jeremy and John about their process and they began training businesses on it and doing it for clients.

There is a long list from the past 15 years of top leaders, entrepreneurs, authors that Jeremy and John have been able to connect with and forge relationships with that have brought credibility, have become customers, and have referred projects.

Our Rise25 team is very selective about which companies we work with because the work we do is very labor intensive so we have limited capacity.

Through this process, John and Jeremy have been able to profile founders and CEOs of Mattel, Atari, Einstein Bagels, Nordstrom.com, Baby Einstein, P90X, Orlando Magic, Hint Water, RX Bar, Open Table, Three Twins, Lending Tree, Entrepreneurs Organization (EO), and many more.

About Dr. Jeremy Weisz

Dr. Jeremy Weisz, in addition to running Rise25, has been featuring top entrepreneurs with video interviews since 2011, including founders/CEOs of P90X, Atari, Einstein Bagels, Mattel, Nordstrom.com, the Orlando Magic, and many more on InspiredInsider.

For 6 years, he was also senior producer for the groundbreaking podcast Mixergy, helping to implement streamlined systems to interview hundreds of guests and create dozens of related online courses, resulting in one of the most popular and profitable early business podcasts.

He continues to run his own chiropractic & massage facility in downtown Chicago and is founder of a nutritional supplement business. He also created one of the top chiropractic jobs websites on the web.

He also has been through extensive training on copywriting and direct response marketing and has sent millions of emails and direct messages designed to get a customer response.

About John Corcoran, Esq.

John Corcoran is a recovering attorney, and a writer, father, and a former Clinton White House Writer and Speechwriter to the Governor of California.

Throughout his career, John has worked in Hollywood (as an early employee of DreamWorks), 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 has written for Forbes, Entrepreneur, Business Insider, Lifehacker, The San Francisco Chronicle, and basically anywhere else that will let him.

John started the Smart Business Revolution podcast when he was a practicing lawyer when he invited one small client to do a short, 15 minute interview. That client turned into one of his longest and best clients for his law firm, and so he repeated the process over and over again, interviewing other clients, prospective clients, referral partners, strategic partners, authors, speakers, and more. Eventually, he generated so much revenue from the podcast and related efforts that it eclipsed revenue from his legal clients and he phased down the law firm.

Done-For-You Podcasting

Why Start a Podcast?

There are many ways to leverage a podcast – if you use it strategically and with a clear plan.

Our Complete Done for you Podcasting service is designed to position you as an expert and authority in your market, differentiate you from competition, connect you with high caliber potential clients and referral partners (who often would otherwise be unreachable), build a long lasting relationship with your current customers, and build an evergreen content engine to bring in more traffic and incoming leads on a consistent basis that is completely systemized and requires very little of your company time. It ultimately helps to build a business with customers that come to you.

You can use a podcast to:

Create a valuable new lead source and marketing asset for your business, and avoid wasting months or years of frustration
Attract more clients/customers, referrals, strategic partnerships and revenue
Build Trust with your target market and get your message out in a scalable way
Be seen as the Respected Expert and Leader in your field and across many channels
Drive new traffic to your website and social media profiles
Connect with influencers in your field so you get more high quality referrals
Create a body of work which helps prospective clients to find you (inbound leads)
Attract clients without working 24/7
Build long lasting relationships with your ideal customers and referral partners

Dean Dutro Explains Why Prospects Close at a Much Higher Rate with Rise25

Who We Work With

We work best with clients who value relationships, take a long-term approach to their business, and want to use the podcast to support an existing profitable business.

This service is best for people and companies that want to use a podcast as a business development, networking and lead generation tool which will position them as an industry leader and expert and allow them to connect with their ideal prospects, referral partners, industry influencers, and strategic partners each and every month.

We are very focused on only working with clients who desire to get ROI from their efforts and we help them to get ROI as fast as possible because we know from our years in the industry that podcasters are much more likely to keep going if they are getting return from their efforts.

We do not work with everyone and our service is not a right fit for everyone. We do not work with people who want to create a "hobby podcast" or a "passion project" – because we find these types of podcasters tend to give up quickly when the creator/hosts struggle to get ROI and get frustrated. We also do not work with people who want to create a podcast solely for branding or marketing, or who are too fixated on interviewing the most famous person they can interview, regardless of whether there is a strategic purpose behind the interview or a logical connection to the interviewer's business objectives.

It's a wonderful business development tool for getting referrals and for getting signed customers. It puts you in a different position. You are coming to them, offering to help promote their product or mission, as opposed to you trying to sell them. You learn so much from the interview itself. You can't get that from a sales call.

We Make Sure You Get Massive ROI with Your Podcast

A podcast can provide incredible ROI in your business – IF you do it right...

We have learned over approximately 20 years of experience with podcasting that the name of the game is being consistent in putting out shows and having the right strategy. If you put out one interview per week, then you are building strong relationships with 50+ high caliber people per year who can make a huge difference in your business. If, however, you don't have the right strategy, then it doesn't matter how many episodes you put out. These are two sides of the same coin.

Our goal is to get you the same results we get with our podcasts – to make sure you enjoy putting out your podcast, do it consistently, get tremendous ROI, and never want to stop doing it because you know it gets you great return. The two biggest reasons people stop doing a podcast is because they can't figure out how to make money from it, and/or they get tired of dealing with myriad tedious details around publishing episodes.

That's why we handle virtually everything for you – including high-level strategy, all audio and/or video production, and distribution. We want creating a podcast to be as "push button easy" for you as it is for us, because we know you are far more likely to get great ROI and to keep doing it.

We provide a complete, 100% solution so you can relax and enjoy the process. We bring all the pieces under one roof from distribution to media editing to content writing of the show notes to posting it on your website to the distribution across all channels to the most important aspect, the strategy.

Here are a few of the highlights of how we are unique

  • We were early adopters of podcasting and with a combined 20+ years experience as hosts and producers of podcasts, we have far more experience than most in this new and emerging industry.
  • We provide you with high-level strategic advice around how to leverage a podcast based on our approximately 20 years of experience running podcasts and experimenting with different ways to leverage the medium.
  • You get one cohesive team that oversees strategy, production, distribution, audio editing, show notes, and web development. You don't have to get drawn into overseeing and coordinating multiple different staff or helping them to communicate with one another.
  • Our systems and processes have been honed and refined over 20 years of experience and you get to benefit from them.
  • We are flexible – we have used podcasts as a strategic tool in multiple different ways and industries, from client acquisition, to business development, networking and more. We've used podcasts to get law firm clients, consulting clients, and land webinars which resulted in thousands of new email subscribers. We've used podcasts to get speaking gigs and sell online courses.
  • Use the same systems and processes the best podcasts use. Our Co-Founder Dr. Jeremy Weisz spent 6 years as Senior Producer for the groundbreaking Mixergy podcast with Andrew Warner, one of the earliest and most successful business podcasts. Jeremy put many of the systems and processes in place that enabled that podcast to be so successful and to produce thousands of episodes along with dozens of premium courses.
  • We want you focusing on the highest and best use of your time so that you will love podcasting and it will give you energy and not drain you by taking any tedious details off your plate.
  • We are like a luxury concierge travel agency that handles all of the details around booking your flights, hotel rooms, transportation, meals and more, so you have no "missed connections" and can focus on enjoying yourself.

A Podcast Will Save You Time

How Much Time Does a Podcast Take? With Steve Cleere

Play video

Think a podcast is time consuming? Guess again.

A podcast actually saves you massive amounts of time. It is one of the most time-efficient things you can do for your business, and here's why.

A podcast gets you access to higher and higher caliber people. The types of people you should be connecting with. Often, these are people who are busy and successful and would never respond to a sales pitch or a request for a meeting.

Truthfully, we feel sorry for people who do not have a podcast because it is so much harder to connect with high quality clients, referral partners, strategic partners and investors without a podcast.

If I asked you can you find the time to spend 30 to 40 minutes on the phone with an ideal prospect, referral partner or potential strategic partner or influencer in your field, would you say 'hell yes!'? You better believe it, right?

One of the best features of a podcast is it actually saves you a ton of time – as long as you delegate the production and employ the right strategy, which is exactly what we guarantee you are doing.

As a business owner, you have to constantly be finding new leads. For different businesses that may mean going to (boring) networking events, attending conferences, going to coffees and lunches, etc. You will find it will take you less time to run your business with a podcast than it did without, if you follow our direction.

Another reason a podcast does not require any additional time from you is because you are already doing the things you need to do to have a podcast. That is, you are already having phone conversations with prospects and referral partners, going to coffees, going to lunches, talking to people. All of these things are hugely time consuming – but when you start incorporating these activities into a podcast, you are actually delivering tremendous value, leveraging the principle of reciprocity, and creating marketing assets that will send you leads for years to come.

In fact, a podcast can effectively replace time wasted spent 'networking' – especially with people who are not a great fit for you. Instead of networking with strangers, doing the dance to try to figure out if you can "help one another," you spend your time on the highest value task... which is directly connecting with the most important people in your field and your most important high level customers and prospects.

With the done-for-you podcast service, you can expect to spend approximately 45 minutes to an hour per episode having conversations with your ideal prospects, prospective referral partners and possible strategic partners. However, because these conversations often lead to longer discussions with the guests about your offerings, we recommend you carve out additional time after the interview, should the discussion continue. We find this is the highest and best time you can spend on developing leads and connections for your business. Best of all, you decide who you profile in these conversations. Thanks to the principle of reciprocity, the people who you invite to be a guest want to 'repay the favor' of being a guest on your show.

You can think of the done-for-you podcast as networking and business development which doubles as marketing, because you are also recording your casual conversations and posting them. That will become marketing that will lead more prospects, referral partners and even influencers in your field to be drawn to you, and it will establish you as a thought leader in your field.

The done for you podcast service is not something you can have one person perform. There are different skill sets involved: audio & video editing, copywriting, lead targeting, search engine optimization, blog post drafting, social media marketing, outbound lead reach out, and many administrative tasks that go along with it. We've put together the team that will handle all of this.

For each episode, we also build "Deep links" into your own website to encourage web crawlers to discover more of your content and improve your SEO, and "Outside" links to people, places, things mentioned in your podcast. This also improves search engine estimation of your site for SEO purposes.

Wrap Up

Every business needs one common thing: to get into a conversation with its best referral partners, clients, and strategic partners.

For a combined 20 years, we have been getting into conversations with referral partners, clients and strategic partners using one of the best tools today for this purpose – a podcast.

And we've had conversations with high caliber connections who we never otherwise would have connected with. People who are busy, successful, decision-makers, and who are very difficult to connect with when you don't have a podcast.

But they do have time for a podcast interview. And that interview turns into trust, which turns into a relationship, which turns into referrals and clients.

Our Done-for-you Podcast service is the product of 20 years of testing, iteration, and improvement upon a process – you benefit from all of this effort, vastly shortcutting the process for you.

Our service is designed to get you in a conversation with qualified prospects, referral partners and strategic partners.

Finally, I've asked myself often: what if I never started doing any of this?

What if I didn't start proactively doing outreach and didn't start doing video and audio profiles years ago?

I think of the 300+ amazing guests who have turned into friends and strategic partners; the authors, influencers and speakers I've connected with; the weddings I've been to, all the clients I've served, the referrals I've generated, the strategic partnerships, the hundreds of webinars and dozens of live events I've filled up, and the countless conversations I've had that lit up my days and left me more inspired and excited than ever.

All of this came from proactively doing outreach, creating profiles and publishing them. But we also realize how many moving pieces there are to put everything together, which is why we created this service to make it easy on you.

Now is the time for you. We're confident that this service will be the best investment you've ever made, that it will save you time, be more effective outreach than what you've done before, and connect you with ideal prospects, referral partners and influencers. You will wonder why you didn't start doing it sooner – we're confident of that.
