  • #73 Richard Wilmore: From Bedroom Talk Shows to Building Podcast Studios

    #73 Richard Wilmore: From Bedroom Talk Shows to Building Podcast Studios
    Aug 21 2026

    In this episode, Roy sits down with Richard Wilmore, award-winning talk show host, podcast producer, and the creative force behind Make Your Day Richer. Richard traces his 30-year journey from talking to imaginary guests in his childhood bedroom, to converting his basement into a full studio, to filming a live variety show in front of a comedy club audience with three cameras he had to edit solo. They dig into the real trade-offs between live and recorded interviews, Richard's hybrid approach using tools like StreamYard and EvieMux to make virtual guests look like they're sitting right next to him, and his surprisingly simple hack for a comfortable in-studio backdrop. The conversation turns candid on AI tools for podcasters (and why YouTube's own auto-generated timestamps beat most AI transcription tools), the ongoing debate over charging guests to appear, and the growing problem of hosts and guests who no-show or ghost without so much as a thank-you. Richard also shares his honest take on chasing "bigger" podcasts versus finding the right-fit audience, and the small production habits — clean backgrounds, no blurred-out heads, good audio — that separate a show people trust from one they don't.

  • #72 Benjamin Behrooz | Branding, SEO & AEO Marketing for Blue Collar Businesses

    #72 Benjamin Behrooz | Branding, SEO & AEO Marketing for Blue Collar Businesses
    Aug 9 2026
    Benjamin Behrooz has built a family of branding agencies, Branding Los Angeles, Branding Aloha, Branding Texas, Branding Miami, and Branding New York, on one simple idea: nobody buys from a business they don't trust, and nobody trusts a business they can't find. In this episode Roy and Ben dig into the collision of branding, SEO, and AEO (answer engine optimization), and why construction companies, plumbers, electricians, and other blue collar trades are some of the best proof of concept for it. Ben explains why his agency now spans five markets across the US, why he believes skilled tradespeople are the next generation of millionaires as AI reshapes the job market, and how his team helps businesses become the answer AI actually recommends when someone searches for a licensed, bonded, weekend-available plumber. The conversation covers pricing models for marketing services, why "own your website, own your phone number" matters more than ever, the red flag of a client who's burned through four marketing companies in a year, and Ben's blunt take on why letting a machine fly the plane without a human at the controls is a recipe for disaster. ⏱️ TIMESTAMP 0:02 - Welcome to the Podfather Podcast, intro to Benjamin Behrooz 1:03 - Why five branding agencies across five markets 2:25 - Franchise, partnership, or location-based SEO model 4:16 - Working with coaches and the 50/30/20 split of marketing, psychology, and coaching 5:12 - Why blue collar trades are the next generation of millionaires 10:13 - How AI now asks buyers seven to ten questions before a business is even found 11:27 - Pricing models: leads vs. management fees, and owning your website and phone number 18:48 - The red flag of a client who has hired four marketing companies in the past year 21:00 - Why Ben turns ads off once a client is fully booked 23:16 - ChatGPT's partnership with Yelp and how AI search is shifting in real time 24:12 - Working with life coaches, business coaches, and wellness brands 26:08 - Believing in yourself and showing up, Ben's core philosophy 29:21 - Blogs, video, and figuring out where AI actually recommends you 32:15 - AI hallucinations and why you need a human mind behind the machine 32:54 - The five-market vision and what's next: Texas, New York, and family life 35:25 - Where to find Benjamin and how he gives back to the community About Benjamin Behrooz Ben Behrooz is the Founder and CEO of Branding Los Angeles, Branding Aloha, Branding Texas, Branding Miami, and Branding New York, where he helps businesses grow through strategic branding, SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), public relations, and digital marketing systems designed to deliver measurable results. His work focuses on helping businesses move beyond visibility alone to build lasting authority, generate qualified leads, and drive long-term revenue. He has extensive experience across legal, medical, dental, construction, home services, hospitality, and professional services, where traditional marketing often falls short.
