But getting the support of even one media outlet can be a bit challenging. William Morales sits down with the Founder of Appleseed Communications, https://www.unknowntounforgettable.com/ (Ashley Crouch), to share her secrets on forging media connections and starting an effective marketing platform, even using the simplest strategies. Ashley talks about writing the most engaging headlines, tapping the audience's emotions to find a selling point, and how media attention can transcend the social media scene. --- Listen to the podcast here:https://open.acast.com/public/streams/5ac8f9e2783f43430d7d467c/episodes/5fe86d8efc9be8439170c83d.mp3 Show 167: Building Your Brand Using The Media With Ashley Crouchhttps://appleseedcommunications.co/ (Ashley), thank you for being on the show. How are you?  Thanks for having me. I'm doing well. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Were you always entrepreneurial? Is this something that you were born with?  [bctt tweet=”There is no ceiling in what you can create and build. The buck stops with you.” via=”no”] I was born into it because my parents both grew up in poverty and my dad determined to build a better financial future for his life and his future family. He realized that when you're an entrepreneur, there is no ceiling. You can create and build as much as you want and as much as you can, and the buck stops with you. He loved that ability to control his financial future. I was born into a family where he was building an insurance company, and he would take me to the office with him. I would sit at my own desk and I would take while you're out messages. Little did I know, he was grooming me into that mindset of you can do anything you put your mind to. I believe that when you do put your mind to it, be consistent and persistent, as I would say at the end of every show, “Keep your momentum going, good things will happen.” That's what you did. Seeing your dad and following in his footsteps. How did you get into the visibility side of a business? What was it about that drew your attention?  I fell into that by accident. My first company was on the founding team of a fashion magazine in New York City. We were a team of five women working around the clock, nights and weekends, going nowhere fast. After a few years, we realized we needed a change. We needed other people to know and hear about us, and believe in us. I raised my hand. I had no background in PR or in media. I did not know a soul but I said, “I would love to run the rollout for this launch.” I didn't know what works and how to get in touch with anybody. For anybody reading this, you probably feel like you're at ground zero. That was me. [caption id="attachment_2854" align="aligncenter" width="600"]https://peer2peerrealestate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/167P2PCaption1.jpg () Media Exposure: If you don't have a platform of your own, you have to leverage another platform to propel your business.[/caption]   I only knew what would get results or I got fired. I had that hunger motivation. You don't want to get fired in New York City. I started reaching out to people and long story short, we got 180 media features in eight months. We went viral around the world. We built the readership to over a million within a year. At that point, I realized that the media was an accelerator. For anybody reading this, a lot of times we've been groomed to believe that if you can hustle harder, the red carpet will roll out for you eventually. That is an utter myth. I am here to tell you that it does not have to be that hard. It is about doing the right actions and not more action. Media is that accelerating agent that

She also shares amazing tips on how to hone in on your message and craft a unique headline that will work for national media, top stages, TED talks and beyond. Question Highlights: What was going on in your mind when you were a teenager with an eating disorder? What does it look like to love ourselves every day? How do we get out the door when we are wearing something we really want to wear but it doesn’t feel like us yet? What is something we can do in our professional life to make ourselves unforgettable? How do we really get out there and stay true to our message, even when people are telling us that our message needs to be different, we're not good enough, we don't have enough followers or there's not enough interest in that category?

Publicity is a deposit into your personal brand bank account. #3: Publicity has never been easier because of the decentralization of the media. #4: The “how” of publicity requires some advanced planning; don't wait until your book is already published to start the process. #5: Don't “spray and pray”. #6: Ask “so what?” (and make sure that you're solving the pain point of your target customer) #7: Use the power of the subconscious in your messaging and story #8: Keep at it - using the energy of fun and passion More about Ashley Crouch Ashley Crouch is an award-winning visibility strategist who lands her clients in the most coveted outlets in the country.

Thinking of investing in Bitcoin? In this episode, George Goognin, founder of his own cryptocurrency called Karma, spills all the beans about cryptocurrency, giving us an honest and practical approach into how and when to invest in cryptocurrency, plus the best uses for it today. He also shares his struggle of promoting his business in a world where the media is so heavily under the influence of the big and powerful corporate companies.   My Guest: George Goognin George Goognin has a PhD in Math Models and Economy and started the first federal online startup in Russia, which he personally presented to Vladimir Putin in 2009. With eight years of experience in automation at big FinTech firms including Apple, Samsung and Nike, George created the first Blockchain experts chamber in the Russian Parliament. He and his team have been actively participating in creating and editing the legal environment for crypto. He is now working on his own cryptocurrency, Karma, and recently raised $10 million to fund his company.   Pivotal Moments: Started his own business at the age of nine and was wowed by the experience of raising his own profits. Opened his company ADV web engineering, a software development company. In 2013 was trying to get a bank loan to grow his business but was turned down because of regulations requiring him to provide collateral worth three times the value of the loan. Realized that there was huge potential to provide lending solutions for SMEs, so founded a peer to peer lending company as a side hustle, reaching a turnover of $5 million by 2017. Developed the company from manual to digital, eventually creating his Karma cryptocurrency. George recently raised a $10 million investment to fund his company, and is now working on developing and growing Karma.com   Resources & Links: Find George’s Cryptocurrency: http://karma.red (karma.red) Find George on Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgegugnin/ (LinkedIn), https://twitter.com/GeorgeGoognin (Twitter) Podcast Episode with Ashley Crouch:http://estierand.com/a2 ( Get Unlimited Free PR with Ashley Crouch) Work with Estie: http://www.strandconsulting.net/ (www.strandconsulting.net) Join us on the Show: http://www.estierand.com/breakthrough (www.estierand.com/breakthrough)   Part 2 of this episode, where you can hear George’s honest take on cryptocurrency and how and when to invest, will be live this Thursday at http://estierand.com/60-2 (estierand.com/60-2).

Anniversary Gift: From Me to You I am beyond thrilled that our audience and our community is growing so much. Last week we brought back everyone’s five favorite guests in a punch-punch 5-day series (if you didn’t get your power-packed value yet, tune in using the links below). This week, I have an http://estierand.com/5daychallenge (anniversary gift) for you! How cool is that? What’s the gift? The gift is that I’ll make sure you stop selling snowcones instead of icebergs. I’ll explain.   Snowcones or Icebergs? You’re walking down the street, and you see this little snowcone stand on the street corner, manned by your family member, or colleague, or acquaintance, or neighbor. And, he is killing it. People are lined up around the block to buy his snowcones. You’re like, dude, that’s so easy, I could do that. I’m going to give it a try. So you open up a snow cone stand on a corner nearby. Your stand looks pretty similar to his, your pricing is similar and you’re in a good location. But no one’s buying now. People are passing by your stand and turning their noses up at the price of your snowcones. Here’s what’s happening. That other guy is not selling snow cones. He’s selling icebergs. There’s so much stuff beneath the surface of other people’s business that you don’t see. There’s an entire iceberg underneath every successful business called business strategy and marketing strategy, and that’s why people are buying. But all you see is the very tip of the iceberg, the snowcone. If you copy just the snowcone without building your iceberg, it’s no wonder that your business fails.   Confidence in your Competence Today I want to give you a certain clarity on the iceberg that lies under every successful service-based business. That iceberg is confidence. When you have confidence in what you are selling, who you are selling to and the value you are providing, you can sell anything to anybody. When you don’t, you almost can’t sell anything.   5 Day Marketing Success Challenge So here’s my gift. I’ve created a five day marketing success challenge to help you gain that confidence.   What is it? It’s a mini-course/challenge that is the foundation of all marketing. It will build your confidence and clarity, so that you can market yourself and your business successfully. What does it include? Each day you’ll get a 15-minute training and an exercise to challenge yourself and help you change your marketing. How do I get it?

Are you living the life of your dreams or feeling a bit lackluster when you think about your current big picture?

Listen in to Episode Four of the Prowess Podcast as Ashley Crouch interviews Tom Bilyeu, co-founder of Quest Nutrition, and discusses his rise to triumph by changing his thought patterns, and enveloping himself in a growth mindset, while simultaneously deciding not to let his past overshadow his future.   Tune in now to hear how Tom overcame limiting beliefs by addressing his root belief system through narrative. You don’t want to miss his tips for adopting a growth mindset during minutes three and four! You’ll also learn why showing up for yourself, making yourself proud and concentrating your decisions to propel you forward will change your trajectory.   The main takeaways from this episode are: You have the ability to empower yourself, to overcome limiting beliefs and evolve your attitude, which will allow you to deploy a growth mindset.

Hello, creatives! This week, you’ve got a question to answer, one that you probably don’t ask yourself enough, something that is challenging and maybe even daunting to all of us. And that question is: just how big is your dream? Our guest and the person who inspires this question is Ashley Crouch, founder of Appleseed Communications. Ashley was homeschooled in Arkansas, studied theology at the University of Dallas, was a founding team member of Verily magazine, and now runs a PR firm that brings the power of media to the stories of women entrepreneurs around the world. As you can hear from that quick description, Ashley has had some interesting changes in her life. Going from raising chickens in Arkansas to founding a PR firm is a pretty dramatic shift. I don’t know about you, but I can definitely relate to not always knowing where my life is headed and sometimes wondering what God is working for me. As entrepreneurs, even as members of Catholic Creatives, we can’t know exactly how things are going to work out, but as people of faith, we need to have a huge vision for the future. We have to believe that the businesses we’re starting, the projects we’re creating, and the work we’re doing is going to change the world, and that God will bless that work and make it fruitful. In this podcast, Ashley talks about why business can be the greatest catalyst for cultural change, how dreaming big guides her work each day, why celebration and having a tribe is essential for entrepreneurs to avoid burnout, and why Catholic Creatives need to be multilingual when it comes to talking about beauty. Before we get started, a huge thank you to all of our patrons on Patreon. You’re the ones who are pushing us to the next level with the resources to grow and become sustainable. If you haven’t signed up yet, go over and think about becoming a patron yourself. And while you’re listening, think and pray about that question: how big is your dream? Because it’s probably not big enough. The world is more open than ever to entrepreneurs and creatives. Let’s not put a limit on what God can do through our lives. Create something awesome this week and enjoy the podcast.
