TOP 15% VIDEO PODCAST ON SPOTIFY: INVIGORATE YOUR BUSINESS 2025


According to Spotify, Invigorate Your Business ranked in the top 15% of all video shows on the platform worldwide.

Every podcast begins the same way: with a simple idea and a single conversation. When I launched Invigorate Your Business, the goal wasn’t to chase metrics—it was to sit down with interesting people, ask honest questions, and create something meaningful for entrepreneurs, creators, and anyone looking for inspiration.

This year, Spotify Wrapped dropped into my inbox… and for the first time, I felt the true weight of what this show has become. What started as a passion project has now become a global platform. And the 2025 Wrapped numbers tell a story I’m proud to share.

Top 15% of All Video Podcasts on Spotify

One of the biggest surprises? Invigorate Your Business ranked in the top 15% of all video podcasts worldwide.

For an independently produced show filmed everywhere from New York to Athens to Toronto, that's a milestone that speaks to consistency, passion, and the community that’s formed around these conversations.

A Year of Explosive Growth

2025 wasn’t just growth—it was acceleration.

Spotify reported:

  • A 164% increase in total audience

  • A nearly unbelievable 999% surge in new listeners

  • A 144% increase in followers

These aren’t just statistics. They’re signals. Signals that people are connecting with the conversations, the guests, and the authenticity that has shaped the show from the beginning. It’s proof that real stories still matter.

A Global Audience

Another highlight: our audience now stretches across continents. The top countries this year were the United States, Canada, Greece, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

As someone who grew up in a Canadian-Greek immigrant household, now running a global business and filming in multiple countries, seeing this international spread felt personal. It felt like the podcast mirrors the world I live in — diverse, connected, and always moving.

The Top Episode of 2025

This year’s standout episode was E054 with Raul Levis, a deep dive into luxury hospitality and the world behind Mandarin Oriental. It became the most-watched and most-engaged episode of the year, proving that audiences crave depth, expertise, and stories from leaders at the highest levels of their industries.

What This Means Moving Forward

2025 validated what I’ve always believed: if you stay curious, stay consistent, and stay authentic, the right people will find you.

This podcast is now a global community. A place where stories meet strategy. A place where entrepreneurs, creators, and thinkers can pull back the curtain and talk about what really matters.

And we’re just getting started.

In 2026, expect bigger guests, more international filming, deeper business conversations, and even more behind-the-scenes insight into the worlds of leadership, hospitality, creativity, sports, entrepreneurship, and the immigrant mentality that built me.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for helping turn this show into something far bigger than I ever imagined.

For an independently produced show filmed everywhere from New York to Athens to Toronto, that’s a milestone that speaks to consistency, passion, and the community that’s formed around these conversations.
