Jeremy Shapiro

Join me “Behind the Scenes” of my podcast on this special bonus episode of Your Business Growth Podcast! Most successful podcasts aren’t just about the guests—they’re about the preparation behind the scenes.

In this special Behind the Scenes episode of Your Business Growth Podcast, host Jeremy Shapiro reveals the proven episode planning system that transforms ordinary conversations into compelling stories that resonate with your audience. If you’re tired of aimless recordings and want to craft episodes that hook listeners from the first second, this episode is your blueprint for intentional, impactful content.

Delve into Jeremy’s step-by-step process for designing episode plans that set a clear narrative arc and ensure every conversation feels structured, yet natural. You’ll discover how he screens guests with laser precision—using application forms, pre-interview calls, and in-depth research—to find stories that truly fit his show’s focus on entrepreneurs who broke through a growth plateau. Jeremy shares how to tease out those pivotal moments that turn an average episode into a story worth sharing.

We break down the core components of a standout episode plan—crafting unique titles that draw curiosity, developing a compelling backstory that hooks listeners, and plotting questions to highlight a guest’s transformation. Jeremy emphasizes the importance of aligning the episode arc with your show’s format, using research (books, social profiles, bios) to deepen the conversation, and preparing a flexible outline that keeps the dialogue engaging and dynamic.

Why does this matter? Because skipping planning often leads to scattered, forgettable episodes. With a strategic framework, you can elevate your podcast’s quality, attract better guests, and deliver content that truly impacts your audience. Jeremy’s approach isn’t about strict scripting—it’s about creating a roadmap to guide authentic dialogue while maintaining clarity and focus.

Perfect for podcasters serious about quality, guest-driven shows, or entrepreneurs wanting to harness the power of storytelling—this behind-the-scenes look reveals how meticulous planning directly correlates with audience growth, guest satisfaction, and content longevity. If you’re ready to stop winging it and start producing episodes that stand out, listen now. Your audience—and your metrics—will thank you.
