Founded by husband-and-wife team Joe and Neha Weisman, TINBP features compelling interviews with entrepreneurs, professionals, community leaders, and individuals whose stories deserve to be heard.

Through our YouTube interview series, digital content, community events, and growing network of relationships, we're building something bigger than a traditional podcast.

Our philosophy is simple: Great stories create connections. Connections create opportunities.

As we prepare for our next stage of growth in 2027, we're looking for a motivated, relationship-driven individual to help expand our sponsorship and business partnership opportunities.

This person will identify potential sponsors, build relationships with local businesses, introduce partnership opportunities, and help generate revenue through our expanding media network.

We're looking for someone who sees the bigger picture—not simply someone interested in selling advertising.

・ Existing relationships within the local business community are a plus.

・ Ability to work independently while collaborating with a small team.
