May 02, 2023

In episode #2442, we discuss whether or not it’s a good idea to take every press appearance presented to you. We look at forms of press appearances and explain why we feel it’s often better to say, “No”. It’s important to have criteria when gauging if a press appearance is right for you and today, we share a few qualifying questions that help us in the selection process. Tune in to find out why you shouldn’t spread yourself too thin and where you should direct your focus instead.
