Cut The Tie Podcast with Dr. Jeremy Weisz

What happens when your job title no longer reflects your passion—or your purpose? In this powerful episode of Cut The Tie, Thomas Helfrich sits down with Dr. Jeremy Weisz, a former chiropractor turned podcast strategist and co-founder of Rise25.

After spending two decades in a profession deeply tied to his personal identity, Jeremy made the bold decision to walk away from it completely. What followed was a transformation that included launching a B2B podcasting agency, finding true location independence, and rediscovering what success really means—on his terms.

About Dr. Jeremy Weisz:
Jeremy Weisz is the co-founder of Rise25, a B2B podcasting company that helps clients build strategic relationships and generate ROI through content. Formerly a chiropractor with a background in biochemistry, Jeremy pivoted after 15 years to turn his side hustle into a full-time business. Through his own show, Inspired Insider, and client work at Rise25, he empowers business owners to leverage podcasting as a tool for growth, connection, and long-term success.

In this episode, Thomas and Jeremy discuss:

• Cutting ties with a career—and identity
  Jeremy shares the emotional and logistical journey of walking away from a 20-year chiropractic career and letting go of his professional license.
• Why strategy always comes first
  He breaks down why execution without a clear strategy is wasted effort, and how Rise25 helps clients focus on meaningful relationships over vanity metrics.
• From 90-hour weeks to freedom and flexibility
  Jeremy reflects on the intense work schedule that bridged the gap between two careers—and how that effort now gives him time freedom and presence with his family.
• Redefining success through health and happiness
  Success for Jeremy isn’t about money—it’s about health, happiness, and managing the “holes in the bucket” that drain joy from your life.

Key Takeaways:

• Your identity isn’t your profession
  Letting go of a long-held title can open the door to more aligned, fulfilling work.
• Strategy beats hustle—every time
  Without a roadmap, execution becomes noise. Build with intention.
• Relationships drive real ROI
  Forget downloads. Focus on the people you meet, serve, and grow with.
• Time freedom is worth the leap
  Jeremy’s shift let him stop choosing between family and business—and start showing up for both.
• The fastest way to connect is to give
