Jessica Rhodes is the founder of Interview Connections and joins me to discuss the evolution of the podcast guest industry.
The first time I heard about this side of the podcast business in 2016, I didn't even think it was a thing. Jessica emphasizes the importance of being a podcast guest for business owners to reach new audiences and explains the benefits of niche podcasts over large, broad ones. If you are unsure if you should start your own podcast, being a guest is a great way to start getting used to the podcast process. She also highlights the significance of a strong online presence and the need for proper promotion of podcast episodes. We also touched on the good and the bad of AI, and shared insights on leveraging AI for podcast booking.
Jessica and Margy are co-owners. The Interview Connections Podcast is the go-to show for entrepreneurs, business owners, and experts who want to scale their influence, grow their businesses, and generate high-quality leads through the power of podcast guesting.
Twelve years ago, in 2013, I started booking my dad (a business coach) as a guest on podcasts because I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. Fast-forward to today and Interview Connections is a multi-seven-figure podcast booking agency. We’ve booked over 30,000 podcast interviews for more than 800 clients.
This podcast distills all of our top lessons from the last 12+ years of booking entrepreneurs as guests on podcasts and scaling our business to more than $13M revenue career to date into bite-sized 20-30 minute episodes to help you learn from us! I co-host this show with Margy, the company's first employee and now the CEO and equal co-owner!

We just put the video on the page for SEO purposes. But this is the first recording in my new studio after the move. No more covering up the disaster that was in back of me in the old home. I have a Green Screen for sale if you would like.
