In this podcast episode, Jacob Bozarth, CEO of Resonate Recordings and co-founder of Resound, talks with Justin about his experience in the podcasting industry and the development of an AI tool that helps podcasters edit out filler words from their audio. The two also discuss the evolution of podcasting and the importance of incorporating video elements for promotion and social media. Jacob shares his insights on how to grow a podcast audience and the challenges he faces as an entrepreneur and leader. Jacob graduated from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) with a degree in Audio Recording.

He started editing podcasts in 2014 and within a few years, came to the realization that he was sitting on something huge. Jacob is the Ceo of Resonate Recordings, one of the industry’s leading podcast production companies. Resonate has helped more than 3,000 podcasts and has worked with 13 podcasts that hit #13 in Apple Podcasts.
