    From Grief to Healing: How Brown's Gas Technology Changed Everything with George Wiseman

    When George Wiseman first reached out to Interview Connections, I had no idea that our conversation would move me to tears. George is an inventor, engineer, and founder of Eagle Research, and his story is one of the most powerful I have ever heard on this podcast. George has spent decades developing Brown's gas technology, originally as an alternative energy solution for fuel efficiency and combustion systems. But it was a series of deeply personal experiences, including years as the full-time caretaker for his late wife as she battled lupus, that transformed his life's mission entirely. In this episode, George shares how Brown's gas went from a fuel-saving technology to something he believes saved his own life after the devastating loss of his wife in 2016. He walks us through the science of hydrogen therapy, why most people are hydrogen deficient, and the remarkable changes he experienced in his own body after inhaling Brown's gas, from the disappearance of a 50-year-old virus to the healing of a heart murmur he had carried since childhood. We also talk about why stories like George's rarely make it into traditional media, and why podcasting remains one of the most powerful platforms for ideas that challenge the status quo. If you have been curious about hydrogen therapy, alternative wellness, or what it looks like to rebuild your life around a mission that is bigger than yourself, this episode is for you. Connect with George and grab his free ebook on how Brown's gas can support life extension and whole-body health: https://eagle-research.com/can-hydrogen-help-you-live-longer-download/ Are you ready to share your story on podcasts?

    How to Successfully Promote Your Book Online

    If you have been pouring your heart into writing a book and wondering how to actually get people to read it, this episode is for you. I was introduced to Jenn T. Grace by one of our clients, Linda Hunt, and the moment we got on a call, I knew I needed to get her on the show. She is an award-winning author, nationally recognized speaker, and publishing strategist with more than 20 years of experience in marketing, communication, and storytelling. She is the founder of Publish Your Purpose, a certified B Corp hybrid publisher, and the creator of the Institute for Author Growth and Impact, an educational platform supporting nonfiction and memoir writers through every stage of their author journey. And I have to be honest: after nearly 400 episodes of this podcast, I somehow never did an episode about using podcast appearances to promote a book. Jenn helped me fix that. In this conversation, we get into why podcast guesting converts so much better than traditional media for authors, what realistic book sales numbers actually look like, and why the authors who talk about their book constantly are the ones who win long-term. Jenn also shares the sweet spot for when to start marketing your book, how to grow your email list before your book even launches, and how some of her clients have landed six-figure consulting deals simply by getting their book into the right hands. If you are an entrepreneur, coach, or thought leader who is writing a book or thinking about writing one, this episode will show you exactly how to use podcast guesting to build momentum before, during, and long after your launch.

Malcolm provides coaches with everything they need to run a thriving business — positioning, systems, enrollment processes, delivery frameworks, software, and long-term operational support — all branded to the coach. In this episode, Jess and Malcolm get into a conversation that's been brewing since Malcolm joined Interview Connections earlier this year.

That insight changed the way Jess runs her business, and in this episode they unpack why. What we cover: Why Malcolm's company doesn't have a sales team — and how the people doing the fulfillment are also the ones doing the enrollmentThe difference between a sales call and a selection process (and why it matters for client quality and retention)The "business in a box" model — what it means, how it works, and why it's modeled after a franchise but branded entirely to the coachHow Malcolm helps coaches get clients through a diagnostic tool that finds six figures of hidden revenue in under 60 minutes — before asking for the businessThe power of strategic alliances and JV partnerships as a low/no-cost client generation strategyMalcolm's origin story: growing up in Baltimore, a conviction, and the turning point that led him to help small business owners build the lives they dreamed ofWhy both Jess and Malcolm believe that money is a result — not a motivation — and how leading with genuine care builds businesses that last Connect with Malcolm: Grab Malcolm's book, Massive Action, which outlines the 22 strategies he uses with his clients: 100KLeak.com

    The Power of Authentic Presence with Suzanne Roberts

    Suzanne Roberts, Principal of UnifyingSolutions, is a seasoned coach, author, facilitator, and speaker, with over five decades of experience in guiding organizations and individuals toward transformative change. Since 1979, she has worked with a diverse range of corporations, businesses, and non-profits, specializing in leadership development, cultural competence, and organizational resilience. She provides training and facilitation in The Great Reconnection™ and Consulting, helping individuals and teams cultivate vibrant, purposeful, and liberated lives and cultures. The Great Reconnection™ Coaching is more than just a coaching method—it’s a transformative pathway designed to help you reclaim YOU and step into your authentic power. Through this process, you’ll align with your deepest self, unshackled from the weight of external pressures and societal expectations. In this episode, Jess and Suzanne discuss: Being in a "trust recession" and why authentic online sharing builds the kind of connection that leads to real business relationships. Suzanne shares why vulnerability paired with a pathway forward is what moves people to reach out. How Suzanne launched her podcast in May 2024 for the sheer fun of it and has already reached 35 countries and 2,600 downloads, interviewing guests weekly with a monthly wisdom drop segment called Wisdom Drops. The unique pre-interview ritual Suzanne uses with every guest: a centering breath, a moment of presence, and an intention set together before recording begins. Jess shares why this was unlike anything she has experienced in hundreds of podcast appearances. Why there is no amount of strategy and tactics that will sustainably grow your business if your nervous system is dysregulated, and what it looks like to build a culture that is expansive rather than driven by pressure and burnout. Suzanne's 50-year evolution as a coach, from organizational development and team leadership to somatic work at the Strozzi Institute, to nervous system resets with a literal massage table in her office. Research Suzanne is now pursuing after discovering that leaders are spending 60 to 85 percent of their day in disconnection and often cannot identify their own signal to reconnect.
