The Business Elevation Show Background

The Business Elevation Show with Chris Cooper has aired on Voice America, the world’s leading online radio platform each Friday at 8am to 9am PST since September 2011. The show airs live and is then available in a podcast format on the show website and iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, Amazon Music and iHeart Radio.

To the end of March 2024, Chris had hosted 554 unique interviews with weekly accesses in excess of 30 countries (compared to a station average of just 7). During 2019, the show was the most listened to show on the Business network with 317,209 unique IP addresses accessing the show an average of 8 times during the year.

The intention is to provide a very special hour of engaging content that helps leaders and individuals to elevate their work, lives and wellbeing whilst contributing to a better world. Guests to date have included high achieving business executives, entrepreneurs, international keynote speakers, bestselling authors, world record holders, medallists and country sports captains, elite military personnel, Nasa scientists and entertainers.  Inspiring people with a unique perspective. An incredible network of guests who become part of the show family. Each guest bringing something different to a business and self- development orientated audience.

Appearance on the show has led to some guests winning major business contracts through to introductions from Chris through his extensive network that have led to multiple opportunities, charitable endeavours, and extreme adventures.

Some senior business leaders have found the interviews hugely valuable for the education of their teams and clients. One IT and Insurance company shared the content with their 1200 clients weekly to inspire them to grow their businesses. Chris aims to always provide great content that guests are proud of and can leverage amongst their networks. Chris also views the show as a way to help educate the world in doing ‘business for good’.

The show has also led to the development of ‘The Elevation Collective™ where exceptional guests from the show have been invited to join a community that is supporting each other to contribute to a better world.
