The Podcast Consultant Acquires Rise25, Expanding Its B2B Podcast Production and Content Marketing Capabilities

The Podcast Consultant, a leading business podcast production agency, today announced its merger with Rise25, a complimentary done-for-you B2B podcasting service founded in 2015 by Dr. Jeremy Weisz and John Corcoran.

Rise25 Co-founder Dr. Jeremy Weisz will remain with the combined company, stepping into the role of Director of Client Success, where he will lead sales and strategic partnerships. With over 15 years of podcasting experience, Dr. Weisz brings a wealth of knowledge, having hosted Inspired Insider since 2011 and featured founders and CEOs from brands like P90X, Atari, Einstein Bagels, Mattel, and the Orlando Magic.

Rise25 Co-founder John Corcoran, a former White House writer and host of the Smart Business Revolution podcast, will be moving on to focus on his new venture, Smart Business Revolution AI.

“Rise25 has built an incredible system for helping B2B businesses generate ROI and forge deep relationships through podcasting,” said Karl Hughes, CEO of The Podcast Consultant. “John and Jeremy are pioneers in the B2B podcasting space, and we’re thrilled to bring Dr. Weisz’s expertise and the talented Rise25 team into the business. This move allows us to offer even more robust strategy, production, and distribution services to a wider array of clients.”

The acquisition strengthens The Podcast Consultant’s ability to help B2B businesses connect with their ideal prospects, referral partners, and strategic partners. Rise25's proven approach to content marketing and relationship-building aligns perfectly with The Podcast Consultant’s mission to produce high-quality audio and video podcasts for professionals who use the medium as a serious business development channel.

“John and I started Rise25 because we experienced firsthand how podcasting was the best thing we ever did for our businesses,” said Dr. Jeremy Weisz, Co-founder of Rise25. “The Podcast Consultant shares our commitment to making podcasting an effortless and profitable endeavor for clients. I’m excited to continue this work and help even more business leaders leverage podcasting to grow their networks and their bottom line.”

This acquisition follows The Podcast Consultant’s recent acquisition of Sundial Media and reflects the company’s broader strategy to partner with founder-led podcasting, audio, and video production companies. As demand for high-quality business media continues to grow, The Podcast Consultant is currently pursuing additional acquisitions with companies that have built strong client relationships, respected creative teams, and a track record of excellent production work.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
