Smart Business Revolution | Searching for B2B Entrepreneurs, Digital Agency Owners, SAAS founders

I’ve been podcasting since 2011 and I’ve interviewed 700+ CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, and business book authors, asking the question “what relationships got you where you are today?”

I love to learn how relationships (with mentors, colleagues, peers, referral partners, etc.) have helped to grow income, business and land more clients. I also love stories about how people have proactively developed relationships with people they admire (influencers, VIPs, etc.) and how those relationships have in turn helped their business.

Inc. Magazine has recognized my show as a top podcast, and I’ve interviewed the founders or CEOs of Netflix, Activision Blizzard, Akamai Technologies, Kinko’s, Lending Tree, Open Table, ACT! Software, Contactually and more. My past guests include business leaders such as Peter Diamondis, Guy Kawasaki, Overstock.com President Stormy Simon, Gary Vaynerchuk, EO founder Verne Harnish, YPO President Sean Magennis, BNI founder Dr. Ivan Misner, Activision Blizzard Co-founder Howard Marks ($50B market cap & world’s largest video game company); authors such as Dan Pink, Michael Port, and Adam Grant; and speaker/new media influencers such as Marie Forleo, Jeff Bullas and John Jantsch.

Most of my guests are CEOs, founders or entrepreneurs with a B2B business, often grounded in a service but tech-enabled.

And most of my guests are leveraging podcasts and/or content marketing in their business – either they have or had their own podcast, are appearing as a guest, or are considering launching a podcast.

BTW I personally make probably 10-30 introductions a week and often after I have a guest on my show and I know more about them, I am able to connect them to other great past guests – which has led to business partnerships, collaborations, further podcast or media appearances, and even people starting whole new businesses together.
