Jeremy is the founder of a successful PR company for the Podcast Industry and his experience and expertise will get you and your company in front of the right audience with the right story.
Jeremy Ryan Slate is an entrepreneur, media expert, author and CEO and founder of Command Your Brand. He studied literature at Oxford University and is a former champion powerlifter that helps visionary founders to impact the world and better mankind through podcasting and new media to create trust and opinion leader status.
Professionally, Jeremy tried it all — teaching, network marketing, in-home personal training, selling life insurance, buying products from China and selling them on Amazon. Instead, he became really good at creating debt and not paying bills. Then he had the idea to start a podcast.
With little listeners and below average content, his first podcast, Rock Ur Life, failed. Determined to try again, he launched another podcast called The Create Your Own Life Show, which saw 10,000 listens in its first 30 days, which led to him speaking to many of his heroes and on stages globally, and now millions of downloads.
After his own podcast success, he was named a top influencer by Forbes and Top Millennial Influencer by BuzzFeed. Jeremy then conceptualized his first podcast public relations agency that quickly scaled over six figures of revenue but resulted in Jeremy and his former partner dissolving their partnership and company after only 9 months.
He re-formed as Command Your Brand, with his wife Brielle as the co-founder. Since its inception, Command Your Brand has booked clients on thousands of podcasts, closing in on seven figures in revenue with a team just over 10.
He is the author of the soon to be released book, Unremarkable to Extraordinary, which details life lessons from the former CIA Director, Super Bowl Champions, Hall of Fame Athletes and even a four-time Indianapolis 500 winner.
