Our Guest This WEEK: Jeremy Schreifels

Most people don’t fail at podcasting because they lack talent, they fail because they pick the wrong topic and they can’t stay consistent long enough for trust to compound. That’s why this conversation with Jeremy Schreifels hit so hard for us. Jeremy is the executive producer and founder of Box Seven Media, and he brings a musician’s ear to podcast production, audiobook creation, and video content that actually connects.

We get into the nuts and bolts of podcasting trends like video podcasting and why recording on a platform like Riverside gives you options later. Jeremy breaks down why a single strong episode can fuel your podcast marketing system with 35 to 40 pieces of repurposed content, something you simply can’t squeeze out of one blog post or one social post. We also talk about the real reason shows fade out after episode 8 and again after episode 21, and how passion and curiosity are the only sustainable fix.

Then we go deep on audiobooks: why they’re life-changing for people who don’t love reading, why author-read audiobooks carry more emotion, and how listening at 1.2x speed can keep your attention locked in. Jeremy also shares a smart creator move: add bonus audio that never appears in print. We wrap with leadership ideas we keep thinking about, from “change your questions, change your growth” to the “peeps in your Jeep” lesson on surrounding yourself with the right people, plus Jeremy’s push for true royalty-free theme music so creators don’t get flagged.
