Engaging B2B Podcast Strategies


On Creating Emotional Connections in B2B:

"In B2B, we forget the human side to the work that we're doing. We focus very much on just the work and forget that in order for us to have a human connection, we have to talk about something other than the product or the service that you have so that I can connect to you as a person."

— Rita Richa [21:30 → 21:50]

In this episode, I sit down with the dynamic Rita Richa, founder and executive producer of Reignite Media, and host of the “Bippity Boppity Business” podcast.
