Early Years in Chicago
Chiropractic and entrepreneurship both entered Jeremy’s life early. His father struggled for years with severe neck and shoulder pain until a chiropractor finally helped him achieve meaningful relief. Seeing that transformation firsthand, combined with his fascination with science, pushed Jeremy toward chiropractic and a formal background in biochemistry.
At the same time, he was drawn to solving practical problems for his professional community. Shortly after graduating, he realized there was no efficient way for chiropractors to find associateships, jobs, or practices for sale, so he created one of the leading chiropractic classifieds websites in the profession, building the site he wished had existed when he was starting out.
These early experiences blended science, patient care, and entrepreneurship, setting the pattern for a career focused on helping others through both hands on work and scalable platforms.
Early Adopter of B2B Podcasting

At Rise25, he has translated that experience into a structured framework for B2B podcasts that function as relationship engines, not just content feeds. His work emphasizes using a show to build long term relationships with a company’s ideal clients, partners, and influencers, and to generate measurable ROI from every episode.
Early Chiropractic and Massage Facility Founder
Before focusing full time on media and podcasting, Jeremy spent roughly 15 years in clinical practice as a chiropractor in Chicago. He founded and ran a chiropractic and massage facility, treating patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal issues and building a loyal client base around a relationship driven model of care.
In parallel, he launched several related ventures, including a chiropractic classifieds site that became a leading resource in the profession and a nutritional supplement business that grew out of his interest in practical, evidence informed wellness tools for patients.
Those years in the clinic shaped his approach to business. He carried forward the habit of listening carefully, creating detailed systems, and putting human relationships at the center of everything, which later became the foundation for Rise25’s methodology.
Co-Founder of Rise25
Jeremy Weisz’s journey with Rise25 began through podcasting in the early 2010s at a time when podcasting was still a small, relationship-driven community. Jeremy and John Corcoran connected through their shared belief in meaningful conversations, long-term business relationships, and using podcasting as a strategic growth tool. That connection became the foundation for what would eventually become Rise25.
In 2015, both attended a conference in Napa Valley, California. Jeremy had an idea: what if they brought a small group of entrepreneurs together in San Francisco the day before the event? John agreed, and the mastermind turned out to be such a powerful experience that they decided to do it again.
Before long, Jeremy and John were running high-impact, invitation-only masterminds at events around the country. These intimate gatherings focused on deep relationships, strategic thinking, and real business growth creating lasting partnerships and measurable outcomes for attendees.
By around 2017, Jeremy began noticing a consistent pattern. Business owners kept asking how to start a podcast and use it to build authority, generate leads, and create strategic partnerships. At the same time, Jeremy saw firsthand how overwhelming podcasting felt for most entrepreneurs especially when combined with running a growing business.
It became clear there was no simple, done-for-you solution for companies that wanted an “easy button” to launch and leverage a B2B podcast.
That realization led Jeremy and John to shift their focus from events to B2B podcast production services. Jeremy took the lead in shaping the vision, systems, and strategic partnerships behind the company helping build the solution they wished had existed when they first started podcasting. That solution became Rise25.
They co-founded Rise25, LLC with a clear mission:
Rise25 helps B2B businesses get clients, referrals, and strategic partnerships with done-for-you podcasts and content marketing.
Rise25 works primarily with B2B firms such as:
- M&A and investment banking firms
- Digital and creative agencies
- IT services and MSPs
- Professional services and advisory firms
The team provides both high-level strategy around how to get great ROI and leverage with a podcast and the execution required to make it work in the real world. Rise25 handles strategy, guest targeting, production, editing, and distribution across all major podcast platforms and social channels, so clients can focus on having high-value conversations.
Over the years, Rise25 has supported a wide range of organizations, from a division of Berkshire Hathaway to one of the largest live event ticket sellers in the United States, as well as many growing B2B firms, advisory companies, advertising agencies, and law practices.
Is a B2B Podcast Right For Your Business?
If you are a B2B business owner, M&A intermediary, digital agency leader, IT services or MSP founder, or you run a professional services firm, you may already know that relationships sit at the center of your growth.
The challenge is that it is hard to:
- Consistently get in front of your ideal clients and referral partners
- Stand out from everyone else who is sending emails or asking for meetings
- Turn conversations into a repeatable system that drives revenue
This is where John and the Rise25 team come in.
Through a done-for-you podcast and content system, they help you:
- Identify and connect with your ideal prospects and partners
- Create meaningful conversations that deliver value on day one
- Turn those conversations into content that positions you as a trusted authority
- Build a relationship-driven pipeline that supports your long-term growth
Media and Community
He is an active member of the entrepreneurial community, including membership in Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) in Chicago, where he participates in peer learning and leadership development with other founders.
Through articles, interviews, and talks, Jeremy consistently returns to a few core themes: mentorship as a shortcut for founders, relationship first business development, and the idea that a well run podcast can double as an ongoing masterclass and networking platform for the host.

Life Outside of Work
A major influence in Jeremy’s life has been his grandfather, a Holocaust survivor whose resilience and gratitude left a deep impression on him from a young age. Jeremy’s grandfather recorded his life story in an interview with the Shoah Foundation, preserving his experiences in detail for future generations. That act of testimony and the power of hearing a life story told in someone’s own voice helped inspire Jeremy’s commitment to capturing others’ stories through long form interviews and podcasts.
Today, whether he is interviewing a founder about the hardest moment in their business, helping a client design a show to honor their best partners, or spending time with his family, Jeremy’s work and life are tied together by a consistent thread: using stories and relationships to create impact that lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Jeremy’s background, and what led him to start Rise25?
Jeremy is a long-time entrepreneur and B2B podcaster who saw that the highest ROI from podcasting often comes from relationship building, not “going viral.” Rise25 was built to help busy founders and leadership teams consistently host high-quality conversations with ideal clients, partners, and industry leaders, without the operational burden of producing and marketing the show in-house.
Who does Jeremy work with today (ideal client profile and industries)?
Jeremy typically works with B2B companies where trust, credibility, and relationships drive revenue. Common fits include agencies, professional services, consultants, SaaS, IT services, and other relationship-driven businesses. The best-fit clients usually have a clear offer, a defined target audience, and a desire to build a long-term inbound and referral engine.
What problems does Jeremy help solve for founders and B2B companies?
Most founders want consistent thought leadership and a predictable way to open doors with high-value relationships, but they do not want another “content project” that drains time. Jeremy helps solve the strategy, production, and distribution challenge so the podcast becomes a repeatable business development system that supports pipeline, partnerships, recruiting, and retention.
What is Jeremy’s approach to B2B podcasting and relationship-based growth?
The approach is ROI-first and conversation-driven: identify your “Dream” relationship list, invite the right people, run interviews that build genuine rapport, and follow up with a simple, consistent relationship cadence. The podcast becomes the reason to start the relationship, and the content becomes the asset that compounds trust over time.
What results have clients seen from working with Jeremy and the Rise25 team?
Clients typically report stronger relationships with prospects and partners, more warm introductions, improved authority in their niche, and more consistent content output without internal strain. In many cases, the show also becomes a platform for client retention and expansion because it creates meaningful touchpoints with customers and community.
If I want to start a podcast, what does the process look like from idea to launch?
A typical path looks like this:
- Define the business goal (pipeline, partnerships, recruiting, authority) and success metrics
- Clarify positioning, target listener, and guest criteria
- Create the show concept (name, promise, format, cadence, guest outreach plan)
- Set up the core infrastructure (recording workflow, branding, hosting, distribution)
- Record a small batch of episodes, finalize templates, and launch with a promotion plan
The emphasis is on building a sustainable system so the show keeps shipping after launch.
How much time does a founder typically need to invest each week?
Most founders mainly invest time in the interviews and a light review process. A common range is 60 to 120 minutes per episode for recording, plus a short window for approving titles, descriptions, and clips if desired. The goal is to keep the founder focused on conversations while the team handles production, scheduling, publishing, and promotion.
What’s the difference between doing a podcast in-house vs. hiring a done-for-you team?
In-house can work if you have internal bandwidth, clear ownership, and strong operational discipline. Done-for-you is a fit when consistency, speed, and quality matter, and you want the show to run like a system. The key difference is that a done-for-you team removes the coordination overhead and reduces the risk that the show stalls after a few episodes.
What’s the best next step if I want to connect with Jeremy?
The simplest next step is to book a discovery call and share your goals, audience, and the types of relationships you want to build. If you have a mutual connection, a warm introduction is also welcome. Either way, the objective of the first conversation is to determine fit and map out a practical plan for launching or improving your show.
