Guest Bio:

Jessica Rhodes founded Interview Connections, the world's first and leading podcast booking agency in 2013, back when no other agencies like it existed. Since its founding, Interview Connections has booked over 30,000 podcast interviews for over 800 clients.

With a background in door-to-door community organizing, Jessica is passionate about helping entrepreneurs who feel like the best-kept secret grow their business online through genuine, human-to-human connection. The podcast interviews Jessica and her team have booked have helped their clients generate millions of dollars in sales, sell thousands of books, and transform countless lives.

Interview Connections was also awarded the 2022 Bronze Stevie Award for Marketing Agency of the Year and Podcast Booking Agency of the Year by Corporate Vision Magazine in 2021.

When she's not talking about podcast guesting, Jessica can be found doing a sauna + cold plunge, wrangling her backyard chickens, or serving as chauffeur to her very athletic kids.
