049 - Say 'Yes, And!' to Publicity, Visibility & Kindness with Jill Lublin

In this episode I sit down with publicity expert Jill Lublin to unpack what it really means to get visibility in today's world. Many people think publicity is press releases or blasting on social media, but Jill shares how it's truly about message clarity, storytelling, and getting others to care about why you do what you do. We talk about practical frameworks for pitching podcasts, leveraging community platforms, creating consistent outreach systems, and even how kindness and authenticity play into influence and visibility. If you've ever wondered how to get your message seen and heard without shouting, then this episode is for you. Key Takeaways Publicity isn't just press releases, it's shaping how others perceive you and your message. Start with why people should care before you pitch them anything. Define your message and your audience first - that's the foundation of all publicity. Free media outreach (podcasts, alumni magazines, networking groups) can be powerful assets. Consistency and persistence in visibility efforts build trust and opportunities. Kindness isn't a soft skill,  it's a strategic advantage in relationships and media. Use everything you've got - from identity to community connections - as part of your story.
