Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a well-known business or have a huge following?
Not at all. We care about real experience and genuine insight — not follower counts or brand recognition. Some of our best conversations have been with everyday entrepreneurs doing incredible things in their local markets.
What industries do you cover?
All of them. Seriously. If you run a small business or serve small businesses, you’re a fit. We’ve talked with people in construction, food and beverage, retail, real estate, tech, health and wellness, professional services, and more.
Do you accept guests from outside the U.S.?
Yes — we’re open to guests anywhere in the world. Small business is a universal experience, and we welcome international perspectives.
How long does the application take?
The PodMatch application takes about 5–10 minutes to complete. Once submitted, our team will review it and reach out if it looks like a good fit.
The Unscripted Small Business Podcast is produced by Jeremy Rivera and co-hosted alongside Zaneta Chuniq Inpower and Daniel Hill. We’re dedicated to unfiltered, authentic conversations that actually help small business owners navigate the real world of entrepreneurship.
