Building Podcamp Media with Dusty Weis
Wed Jan 21 2026
For some entrepreneurs, starting a business isn't a lifelong dream. It’s a moment of clarity, a calculated leap, and a willingness to build before they feel ready.
In this episode, we’re speaking with Dusty Weis, founder and president of Podcamp Media, a boutique podcast production agency that helps brands tell better stories and build long-term trust with their audiences. Dusty shares how his corporate career in journalism and strategic communications led to a lightbulb moment, some quick back-of-the-napkin math, and the bold ask that helped launch his business — turning his employer into his first client.
Together we’ll discuss:
How Dusty knew it was time to leave corporate and bet on himself
The fears and doubts he had starting a business with a young family at home
How he carved out a niche in a crowded industry by going boutique
What it really takes to build client trust and keep relationships for the long haul
Why uncertainty and impostor syndrome don’t go away and how to keep building in spite of them
