“Small Businesses of Tomorrow” Podcast Premieres with Live Roadtrip Broadcast,
Audience-Driven Conversations, and a Focus on the Moments That Matter

[Rome, WI] — [1/08/2026]

A new podcast, Small Businesses of Tomorrow, is set to premiere with an unconventional,
participatory format: a live, nearly nonstop broadcast during a multi-day roadtrip—where the host
invites listeners, professionals, families, friends and curious minds help shape the conversation in real
time.

Hosted by entrepreneur and systems thinker Jeremy Schmidt, Small Businesses of Tomorrow explores
how everyday businesses, public servants, educators, and community builders navigate complexity,
pressure, and change—and how small, thoughtful shifts can make work more humane, efficient, and
sustainable.

The series premier will be a ~50-hour “episode” covering 50 topics that will focus on practical, relatable
ideas such as:
• Running and growing a small business under real-world constraints
• Workforce realities in service, trades, healthcare, and public-facing roles
• The unseen coordination work that quietly keeps communities functioning
• How tools, processes, and communication either help—or hinder—people doing meaningful
work

Introducing Geewiz & HumdingersTM
The podcast will introduce the Kickstarter launch of Geewiz & HumdingersTM, a family conversation
game designed to help people slow down, connect, and cherish small moments together.

Geewiz & HumdingersTM isn’t about winning or competition—it’s about curiosity, laughter, and
meaningful conversation across generations. Its inclusion reflects a broader theme of the podcast: that
whether at home, at work, or in our communities, the little moments often matter the most, even if
systems rarely make space for them.

An Open Invitation to Experts—and Everyday Experience
What sets Small Businesses of Tomorrow apart is its open, audience-driven structure. The show
explicitly welcomes:
• Subject-matter experts
• Small business owners and frontline professionals
• Families, educators, and “backyard experts” with lived experience

This inclusive approach reflects a core belief of the podcast: education is lifelong, and insight often
comes from listening as much as speaking.

Audience participation helps determine:
• Which topics are explored next
• How deeply subjects are examined
• When conversations expand into new areas

Listeners are invited to participate through live call-ins, social media prompts, and shared stories from
their own lives and work.

Why a Roadtrip?

The roadtrip format is intentional.

Traveling across regions allows the podcast to reflect shared experiences across different
communities, rather than speaking from a single perspective. Small businesses, families, and public
servants may operate in different places—but many of the challenges, pressures, and moments of pride
are remarkably similar.

The roadtrip creates space for:
• Listening across regions instead of broadcasting from one place
• Conversations shaped by geography, culture, and local realities
• A reminder that progress is often built from shared experience, not abstraction

Live Video & Audio Broadcasting

The premiere and roadtrip episodes will be broadcast live using accessible platforms, including:
• YouTube Live (primary platform, open access)
• Audio podcast platforms for recorded episodes and highlights
• Facebook Live (to be added as audience milestones are reached)

This multi-format approach allows people to watch, listen, or engage in the way that fits their day—
whether live or later.
