The Power of Podcasting for Business Growth with Jillian Murphy

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we’re joined by Jillian Murphy, a former corporate sales leader turned entrepreneur who helps businesses scale through authentic sales, messaging, and connection. After spending more than two decades in food service distribution sales, Jillian’s career took an unexpected turn when her company was acquired by private equity—leading to a sudden layoff that became the catalyst for building her own business on her own terms.Throughout the conversation, Jillian shares how she transitioned from corporate loyalty to full ownership of her income, leveraging her natural talent for sales during the early days of the pandemic. She breaks down her non-cookie-cutter approach to business growth—focusing on lead generation, magnetic messaging, and closing strategies—while working with clients across industries, from real estate and med spas to coaches and construction companies. The episode dives into the power of podcasting as a top-of-funnel strategy, why trust and genuine connection are the new currency in sales, and how Jillian has built a near seven-figure business with a small but highly aligned audience—without ads, sales calls, or a traditional website.
