I have been on stages since 1994. Podcasts came later, and I treat them the same way: show up prepared, skip the warm up, and go where the host wants to go, including the parts most guests dodge.
What follows is every show I have appeared on, oldest first. Some are pet industry. Some are leadership. One is a freeze drying operations deep dive that only makes sense if you manufacture things. All of them are real conversations, not press tours.
Podcasts

February 23, 2022 · Host: Kevin Messerschmidt
"What's In The Bowl? Exploring Cat and Dog Nutrition." My first long form interview about the pivot. Psychotherapy, federal law enforcement, healthcare executive, and then a pet shop in southeast Wisconsin. Kevin wanted the risk part. I gave him the risk part.

April 18, 2023 · Hosts: Dr. Z and Professor P
"From Corporate World to Pet Nutrition with Sean B. Jones, MS, MBA." Leaving a Fortune 10 C-suite to run three businesses with my wife. This is the episode where I said my worst day as an entrepreneur beats my best day as an employee. I meant it then. I mean it now.
WYTPod
February 26, 2024 · Host: Stephen Bland
"Pet Nutrition Revolution: Inside the World of Foodynamics." Fifteen minutes on how a 900 square foot store turned into a facility running industrial freeze dryers. Also the part most pet parents never hear: how few corporations actually make what sits on the shelf.

November 18, 2024
"Foodynamics Interview: Getting Your Recipe Freeze-Dried from Concept to Reality." The mechanics, start to finish. What co-packing really involves, what a private label partner should expect from you, and what it costs to move a recipe from a kitchen idea to a product someone will pay for.
Pet Brand Podcast
March 6, 2025 · Host: Varnit Dhoundiyal
"How Sean B. Jones Built Multiple Successful Pet Brands." Seventy four minutes, and the most complete version of the story I have told on any show. Three companies, the mistakes inside each one, the case for human grade ingredients, and where pet retail is actually heading.
The Freeze Dried Guys, Episode 10
March 17, 2025 · Hosts: Mykal Taylor and Colt Crisp

The NeuroLeadership Edge
August 6, 2025 · Host: Claire Hayek
"Calm, Soul-Driven Leadership with Sean B. Jones." The only pure leadership show on this list, and the one that pulled hardest from the psychotherapy years. Regulating your nervous system under pressure, running mock crisis drills before you need them, and choosing perspective over panic when the business is on fire.
Ask the Pet Food Pro, Petfood Industry
September 4, 2025 · With Jerad Ducklow, Parker Freeze Dry
"Scaling freeze-dried pet food production: From startup to growth." This one is a live industry session rather than a podcast, but people keep asking for the link, so it belongs here. Three questions every freeze drying business has to answer before it scales, and the equipment, automation, and vertical integration decisions that determine whether growth is profitable or just bigger.
Pet Industry Rising 2025, My Ladybird
October 25, 2025 · Host: Peggy I. Pleines
"Navigating the Era of Pet Parent 2.0: Innovation, Independent Retail, & the Future of Real Pet Food." A summit interview on video rather than a podcast. Twenty five minutes on how we got into freeze drying, why we shut down our online store and local delivery and still kept more than 90% of those customers, and why the fresh food and freeze dried side of this industry needs to stop criticizing itself.
Trending: Pet Food, Episode 102
January 19, 2026 · Host: Lindsay Beaton · With Fred Klaas, Glacial Freeze Dry
"How can a company scale up its business?" One tabletop freeze dryer to 30,000 pounds of raw material a month, and then an acquisition. I spent 12 to 18 months finding capital partners whose values matched ours, because the wrong money is worse than no money. Ideas are cheap. Capital and execution are not.
