Inside Marketing with MarketSurge

In this episode of Inside Marketing with MarketSurge, Reed Hansen sits down with Naresh Vissa, founder and CEO of Krish Media & Marketing, bestselling author, podcast host, and media strategist, to talk about how entrepreneurs can turn attention into revenue through podcasts, books, PR, referrals, and AI.

Naresh has worked with major brands and organizations including CNN Radio, Clear Channel, JP Morgan Chase, the Houston Rockets, the Houston Astros, Agora Financial, and Stansberry Research. In this conversation, he shares how he built credibility, landed major clients, used books and podcasting to open doors, and why AI is dramatically changing how marketers work.

If you’ve ever wondered how to use media exposure to build authority and generate real business growth, this episode is packed with practical insight.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• How referrals and incentives can become powerful growth drivers
