Creator Influence

Chris Stemp

Smart People Podcast, hosted by Chris Stemp and Jon Rojas, functions as a long-form interview series dedicated to extracting actionable insights from experts across science, business, and psychology. Entering its fourteenth year, the show has transitioned from an audio-only format to a visual-first approach on YouTube, where the hosts engage with thinkers such as Guy Kawasaki on Silicon Valley culture and Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb regarding interstellar discoveries. Stemp and Rojas utilize their background in professional sales and marketing to bridge complex academic theories with everyday application, frequently exploring the Polyvagal Theory and its impact on human stress responses. The podcast reached a recent milestone by securing an interview with REMAX founder Dave Liniger for a detailed case study on building global empires. By partnering with organizations like BetterHelp and Shopify, the duo maintains a professional environment for exploring high-performance habits and philosophical approaches to modern life, ensuring the content remains relevant for career-focused professionals seeking continuous education.
