Jessica Rhodes: Interview Connections 5 Years Later

<p>Yes it has been five years since we had Jessica Rhodes from Interview connections on the podcast. Since then Jessica has grown the business to a six and now 7 figure business. How did she do it? Small steps and "grind and grit". In this episode I reconnect with Jessica , 5 years in between episodes and ask her about some of the business moves she has made like getting a physical office space, partnering with Margy Feldhuhn, and working with female business coaches like Kelly Roach and Ali Brown. Jessica also notes there's a difference between scaling to 7 figures as opposed to 8; it's a different set of strategies to get to 8.</p><p>Both Jessica (president) and Margy (CEO) have their own podcasts. You can find Jessica's <a href="https://interviewconnections.com/blog/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"Monetize the Mic" here</a> - and <a href="https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/wegetityourdaddied" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Margy's "We Get It, Your Dad Died" here. </a></p><p>There was so much I didn't know about building a company in the podcast space when I first started back in 2016, but simply following Jessica and paying attention to how she operates, I learned a lot. There are about 7 people who I follow like that. It's not unlike listening to your favourite radio performer to hear their show every day - and learn how they connect.</p><p>If you are in radio and wondering why you should listen to the show:</p><p>(1) Because Jessica got to the top by not worrying about the copy cat competition.</p><p>(2) Because you don't have a podcast and should consider guesting on podcasts if you aren't going to podcast.</p><p>(3) Even if you have a podcast, learning to be a guest will help you become a better interviewer.</p><p>Follow Jessica and everyone at <a href="http://www.interviewconnections.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Interview Connections </a>on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/376853703259540/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the Fac
