Laura Perkes

Let me know how this episode landed and I will see you next time.

Bye.

Hello, hello, and welcome back to What Is Public Relations, the podcast.

I'm your host, Laura Perks, PR specialist, working with female entrepreneurs to get them niche famous.

Now, if you listen to my previous two episodes, you will know that I'm going on a slightly different journey with these interviews because it's really important for me to highlight that there is a negative side.

of being featured in the press and being really visible.

And my guest today is probably the one person who over the five years of knowing her has had the most amount of abuse online.

So obviously I couldn't not invite her here today

And actually, to be honest, she is the queen of visibility because whatever happens, she continues to show up.

So listeners, please give a very warm welcome to today's guest, Lisa Johnson.

You're absolutely welcome.

So if anybody listening doesn't know who you are, can you just introduce yourself for me?

Just a little bit.

I'm sure if anyone hasn't heard of you, they can Google you and kind of chart your journey over the years.

And before we kind of dive into the negative side, it would be lovely actually to hear, when did you decide to kind of go all in with PR?

Like what phase of business were you in?

But that's what I love about you.

You don't let anything stop you from going after what you want.

Yeah.

But what an amazing kind of approach to take with it, because especially with women in the online space, there is a lot of fear around showing up and being visible when especially sharing their opinions, which is something that you definitely don't hold back on.
