Ep 59 - Visibility Through PR

Today I'm speaking to Jo Swann of Chocolate PR who helps mission led entrepreneurs to get their message heard via the power of the press. We discuss the benefits of PR, why you need to story tell rather than sell and how to overcome imposter syndrome. Jo also outlines two approaches: responding to media inquiries and taking stories directly to journalists, and what you need to have in place to get started.
