The Strategic Business Influencer is a podcast for founders, CEOs, and executives who want to outsmart, not necessarily outspend, the competition. Hosted by Paige Velasquez Budde, marketing strategist, author and Co-Founder & CEO of Zilker Media, an award-winning PR, brand management and creative agency. The show spotlights gritty, smart leaders who have built companies that dominate their markets not by being the loudest in the room, but by earning trust at scale.

Each episode features candid conversations with entrepreneurs and executives who are redefining modern leadership, building brands that stand out in crowded industries, and navigating the future of business with clarity and purpose. Listeners walk away with practical strategies, fresh insights, and stories that prove influence is about impact.

If you’re ready to learn how today’s most trusted leaders grow their businesses, their brands, and their influence, this is the show for you.
