Jeremy Slate: How to Turn Your Podcast Into a Relationship-Driven Growth Engine

Jeremy Ryan Slate is an entrepreneur, media expert, author, and Founder & CEO of Command Your Brand, a premier PR and podcast placement firm helping visionary founders build trust, authority, and cultural influence through new media. He studied literature at Oxford University, holds a Master's degree, and is a former champion powerlifter.

After surviving life-threatening circumstances at 19 and witnessing his mother's debilitating stroke at 24, Jeremy developed the resilience that shaped his purpose. In 2015, he launched Create Your Own Life (now The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show), which reached 10,000 downloads in its first month and was featured by Neil Patel. His work has been recognized by INC, CIO Magazine, BuzzFeed, Influencive, and Podcast Magazine's 40 Under 40 in Podcasting (2022).

By 2024, Command Your Brand grew to a 15-person team, securing nearly 6,500 podcast placements for impact-driven founders focused on changing culture and humanity.
