About this episode

In this episode, we sit down with Gloria Chou, award-winning PR strategist and host of the Small Business PR Podcast. Gloria shares how anyone—especially BIPOC and female founders—can get featured in top-tier media like Forbes, Vogue, and The New York Times without paying a PR agency or having insider connections.

You will learn

  • How Gloria went from U.S. diplomat to PR expert
  • Why traditional PR is broken—and how she disrupts it
  • The CPR Pitching Method (Clarity, Personalization, Relevance)
  • How to write subject lines that get opened
  • Tools to find the right journalists and contacts
  • Why being specific and timely is everything in your pitch
  • Pro tips for getting local TV coverage—even with zero connections
  • How to overcome imposter syndrome and confidently press "send"

💡 If you've ever said “I’m not ready for PR” or “I don’t have a story,” this episode is for YOU.
