Most entrepreneurs waste time and money on PR that doesn’t work. Why? Because they’ve been sold a lie.

In this episode of No Bullsh*t Talks, I’m joined by Priscilla Pollara — former top-tier journalist and strategic advisor to government officials — who now helps small business owners build brands that actually get noticed.

We break down the biggest myths around PR, media exposure, and personal branding, and Priscilla shares what founders really need to focus on to build credibility and visibility without faking it for the 'Gram.

If you’re trying to grow your brand, land media, or just stop being invisible — this one’s for you.

🔑 In this episode:

• Why most PR strategies fail for small business owners

• The real point of personal branding (and how to do it without cringing)

• What journalists and decision-makers actually care about

• Where to start if you’ve never done PR before

• The truth about being “your authentic self” online
