The ones that I have the most passionate for, though, is the business owners, the entrepreneurs on that side. And when they're able to step in and understand that they actually have a story to share, but having an expert come in and kind of pull that story out, I think people also start to share the wrong stories.
One of the things that I did in my early years, I went way back and was telling my story from way back here all the way through these trenches to build this part to success. There's incremental stories within, so if you could take those little bitty pieces of the stories that has an overarching...
you know, the arch basically of storytelling and understand that you can tell these stories in different ways, especially on podcasts. Right. So obviously you have podcasts with multiple episodes, right? You're not going to talk about the same thing over and over and over again. Right.
So if they have a specific show, you want to make sure that they have a story that aligns with the content of the day. Right. And so I think when people can really hone in on what that overall arc story is for the show and the brand and the company or themselves, and then find all the mini stories within so then they can leverage those pieces out to come back to the arc storytelling piece of it.
That's the most important part is to find what is the bigger picture? What is it because of the company? What is it because of the brand? And you wrap that back around really nicely on that side. So hopefully that answers that question.
You have to expand more with PR because you're getting that exposure. You're leveraging different credibility options out there. You're getting on other people's shows that have a large following too. When you do a PR tour, like let's say a podcast booking tour, or you're getting booked on TV shows, maybe you're at Good Morning America, maybe you have a book launch.
all those things are super important for when you're doing something with a big push or you want more of a consistent growth method. Because once you do that push with PR first, that's where the marketing comes in second. Because then you're going through and then you're nurturing those people that come in from
Those interviews, those campaigns, those appearances, they come through like, oh, I found you on a mixed podcast. I loved your story. I'd love to connect with you because that would be a PR positioning factor. Right. So when you do that, it's a great opportunity and be very grateful for all the PR opportunities that are out there.
and then step forth and say like great like how how can we now serve this individual or this um person that's reaching out that turns into the marketing efforts of how how that that funnel goes through but it's more than just a funnel you know what i mean it's just like you're building relationships you're building community aspects so i agree with you 100 i believe pr is one exponential
tool and resource that can help brands, individuals, leaders, authors, speakers, uh, to really position themselves out there. And that really helps see that, that effort that goes into the marketing that is, should be consistent on the marketing side of it.
that you've had to overcome personal or business or both wherever you want to take it i don't care um you know what's funny mick is i went through my personal journey first so um About 14 years ago in December, I decided to sober up. I stopped drinking alcohol, any substance and cigarettes, you name it, anything, just cold turkey due to having some run-ins with the law multiple times.
So I have this very deep story of the ins and outs of jail systems in my 20s and putting together this opportunity for myself that actually created my life path from there. But I wouldn't take it back for the world. On a deeper note, I was actually put away for a few months, locked up, locked away. I was put on house arrest for nine months, so a total of a year I was put away.
Basically, if it was locked up with an ankle bracelet like Lindsay Lohan, it was back around the same time she was dealing with it too. Look at her now today. She's doing great.
I went through that journey, but the things that I went through, through that process of ins and outs of jail and
courtrooms and attorneys and going in debt from going through these experiences that was because I went through my own depression period and I won't go into that that part of it but once I came out of that depression and I sobered up that was actually when I decided to go into the entrepreneurial space and actually went back to film school in my late 20s and then I started a company
at the age of 30. And so that was when I actually sobered up. It took the first two years to really figure out that point of what I wanted to do. But I took that hobby of filmmaking and YouTube and turned it into a company. And then I told myself later online, later in life, that By going through that stuff, I became extremely resilient. Things just didn't faze me.
The BS bullshitter, you know, sorry, didn't mean to swear. It's my podcast.
I can read people. And so when I went through that process of really understanding that and trusting my gut and intuition through different experiences, joining masterminds, attending events, I really started to figuring out like what my soul's purpose really was on this journey. And so I started living that life the way that I wanted to.
And then I wanted to help more people, but I wanted to do it through some sort of service that I enjoyed, which back then, of course, was video and filmmaking. And then it evolved into podcasting. But what's unique about it is I've hit tons of barriers, walls, failures, fallovers through business, opportunity, and growth.
I may have hit a specific set of success that people see as success at this point in life. but it didn't come easy, right? And so, but all of those trials and tribulations that went through in the business side of it, all of it was because of everything that went through in that personal rock bottom journey.
