The Endgame Entrepreneur podcast, hosted by Kassie, has been rebranded from the Mastermind Mixer to focus more on long-term entrepreneurial goals, including retirement and legacy building. In this episode, Kassie speaks with Bridget and Lydia, co-founders of Visibility on Purpose, a PR and media training company helping small businesses gain exposure without massive budgets.

They discuss common PR misconceptions, emphasizing that media coverage isn’t just about pitching products but aligning with a publication’s goals and audience interests. They highlight the importance of knowing one’s own business objectives before pursuing media placements, as PR is a long-term brand growth strategy rather than a quick advertising fix. The conversation concludes with insights on alternative visibility strategies, such as podcast tours, and the necessity of goal clarity in both PR and business operations.
