Episode Highlight:

01:10 – I don’t spend months and months strategizing. I start working with you, day one, I’m securing background information, images, biography, book jacket, company specifics, what your service does for other B2B companies. Day two, I’m pitching you. I’m not wasting time. I’m not dillydallying. And that’s where I’m different from other PR person and people and agencies that will waste six weeks writing fancy, pretty documents. My clients don’t need my fancy PowerPoint document. They need to know I’m working and getting the job done, and they want to know I’m working quickly. And that’s where it’s a different approach in public relations.

Elzie Flenard The Mayor of Podcast Town

I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur as a teenager. I would create my own board games and basketball leagues in my bedroom. I would dream of flying cars and spend hours solving problems with business ideas.

I've had just about every job out there - I was a janitor for a short time, I've worked fast food, I worked in an ammunition factory (wasn't a bad gig actually), I've cleaned the bottom of barges --- I even worked in a CD manufacturing company! I've worked in corporate as an electronics technician, electrical engineer and operations manager.

These experiences shaped me. They helped me become the business leader and entrepreneur I am today. I've been podcasting since 2016 and I look forward to many more years of having conversations with bright minds from all walks of life.

I get to live my dream of being an entrepreneur. I get to chart my own path and impact others through my work ... I'm truly Livin' the Dream!
