That Solo Life, Episode 298: PR Potpourri: A Look Back at Q1 2025 This podcast episode explores the challenges that PR professionals face in the current media and communication landscape. The discussion covers several key topics: The struggles with PR tools and technologies, which often fail to keep up with the rapidly changing industry. This leaves PR practitioners having to "hack together" solutions to get the job done. The broader cultural issues of overwork and lack of work-life balance in the PR and communications field, which contribute to fatigue and burnout. The challenges of cutting through the "sensationalism" and "brain candy" that dominates much of today's media, and finding ways to effectively share meaningful, ethical, and responsible messaging.

Overall, the conversation highlights the unique blend of skills and resilience required to succeed as a communicator in the current environment.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:  An honest review of today's PR tools, touching on media monitoring, analytics, and pitching databases.  How the evolving media landscape and shrinking newsrooms are forcing PR pros to become more creative in their strategies.  The societal fatigue impacting professionals across industries and how it weighs on productivity and expectations.  Why sensationalism and aesthetics dominate public attention and what PR pros can do to create impactful, ethical, and relatable messaging.  The power of storytelling in PR, regardless of how complex or mundane the topic may seem. Key Quotes from the Episode: 

Today, we further explore a tip from my friend Lance Owen. Use humour. Someone said, "I open a man's mouth with laughter so I can pour a dose of truth into it." Humour can be a very effective way of communicating important information. The use of humour in teaching about God is legitimate. Have a look at the video last week about the teaching of Jesus, or you could also take Elijah as an example - “At noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud! Surely he is a god; either he is meditating, or he has wandered away, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.”” (1 Kings 18.27 NRSV; see also Isaiah 44.15). Today, we're going to talk about the pros and cons of a good giggle, and how to develop your humour muscle.

That Solo Life - Episode 296: The Big Idea with Jess Sato Episode Summary  This episode of That Solo Life dives deep into the world of business growth, messaging, and creating meaningful impact. Co-hosts Karen Swim, APR of Solo PR Pro, and Michelle Kane of Voice Matters are joined by special guest Jess Sato, a business growth and visibility strategist. Jess shares powerful insights on how purpose-driven entrepreneurs and thought leaders can identify their “big idea,” use it to stand out in a crowded marketplace, and create lasting change. Whether you're looking to refine your messaging, grow your visibility, or tackle roadblocks on your entrepreneurial path, this episode offers actionable strategies and thought-provoking advice to move the needle in your work. Key Takeaways  Defining the Big Idea: A “big idea” doesn't have to be completely new. Instead, it's an audacious or bold concept that challenges the status quo, demands attention, and inspires action.  The Bolt Method Framework: Jess's Bolt Method helps clarify and amplify big ideas by focusing on four pillars - Bold, Original, Loud, and Tenacious.  Living Your Passion: Entrepreneurs can align their personal passions with business objectives to create both purpose and profit.  Overcoming Challenges: Common roadblocks like imposter syndrome, impatience, or messaging struggles can be overcome with introspection and strategy.  The Power of Rebuilding: If your work no longer feels aligned, don't be afraid to take the time to pause, reflect, and pivot to rediscover your authentic purpose. About Jessica “Jess”  Sato Jessica Soto is a business growth and visibility strategist who helps purpose-driven female entrepreneurs, thought leaders and change makers clarify their big ideas, amplify their message and create lasting social impact. In this podcast episode, she discusses her process for helping clients find their "big idea" - a bold, original perspective that challenges the status quo and inspires people to take action. Soto highlights common roadblocks her clients face, such as distilling complex expertise into a cohesive core message, and provides strategies for overcoming these challenges.

Trump and the people around him are trying to weaken our constitutional protections like due process. Because people see that the Abrego Garcia story is not about the man, but our rights, and because people keep protesting, the administration is getting rattled. We have to keep gumming up the works. Meanwhile, why aren't the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups howling while Trump single-handedly ruins our country's global economic status? Plus, our fully-grown SecDef is blaming the deep state for his troubles, even though they involve his wife, his brother, and his phone. And Dear Charleston: Please un-elect Nancy Mace.

Welcome to this episode where I'm diving deep into a topic close to my heart: Imposter Syndrome. You know that feeling when you hit record and suddenly think, "Who am I to be doing this?" Trust me, you're not alone. It happens to all of us.When I started out with over 160 episodes ago, I had those moments of doubt. "Will anyone even listen?" What is Imposter Syndrome? It's that persistent feeling of self-doubt despite evident success. It's normal and happens when we care deeply about our craft.Why It Happens? The more we care, the more doubt creeps in. Comparison to others' polished content can amplify this feeling.How to Push Through ItRemember Why You Started: Reconnect with your mission and impact.Rationalize: Focus on facts, not perceptions.Focus on One Listener: Your message matters more than flawless delivery.Keep Track of Wins: Positive feedback is your proof of impact.Everyone Feels This Way: Even top podcasters have faced imposter syndrome.Closing Encouragement & Call to Action Your voice matters. Someone needs to hear what you have to say. Record your next episode without overthinking it. Trust me, someone needs to hear this.

Today, we explore a second tip from my friend Lance Owen. I paraphrase our conversation. He suggests: Use humour. Someone said, "I open a man's mouth with laughter so I can pour a dose of truth into it." Humour can be a very effective way of communicating important information. If you're just starting out with speaking or teaching, you might be wondering if there's a place for a bit of a laugh in your lessons. Well, you've come to the right place! In this video and the next one, we'll explore how you can weave humour into your presentations, making them more engaging and memorable. We'll look at why it's valuable, offer some tips, consider the potential pitfalls, and even peek at how the ultimate teacher, Jesus, used humour.

Today, we explore a second tip from Trevor Mendez. He writes: Be yourself. There's a place for imitating helpful qualities in other speakers, but "Christ in me" will likely look different than "Christ in you" and authenticity is important to hearers.

In this must-listen episode of The Late Show with James Radburn on Teachers Talk Radio, James sits down with Emma Darcy, one of the UK's most recognised EdTech leaders. Together, they unpack the real-world impact of artificial intelligence in education, from the classroom to curriculum design—and why amplifying student voice is more critical than ever in the age of AI.

Today we continue exploring a tip from my friend Anna Oliver. Anna says: "Who is your audience? What is their age/culture/religious background? Aim to engage them by saying or doing at least one thing they would be able to relate to. Our current society is no longer interested in listening to a 30-minute talk on a topic if there is no attempt by the speaker to engage them/draw their attention.
