Greg Wasserman has spent his career in media and relationships ... not in CX. But listen to how he talks about community, humanization, and audience connection and you'll hear customer experience thinking at every turn. As head of relationships at RSS.com, Greg is helping podcasters grow and think strategically about their shows. The lessons reach well beyond podcasting.

Greg went from churn-and-burn sales to taping chocolate bars to his business card ... the relationship era of his career
A podcast is the greatest relationship engine available ... and downloads are not the point
