Much like life in general, entrepreneurship is an adventure. We all have a unique story to be told about business and all of the places life takes us throughout the entrepreneurial journey - full of triumphs and defeats, bumps in the road, wrong turns, new directions, and people who lent a hand along the way guiding you toward your final destination. In each episode, we explore the journey of adventurous entrepreneurs to inspire, inform and guide others to take action to reach their goals.

The Power of Press: How Small Businesses Can Leverage Media Like the Giants – with Mickie Kennedy of eReleases

In this episode of Adventurous Entrepreneurs, I sit down with Mickie Kennedy, founder of eReleases, to talk about how small businesses, startups, and even solo entrepreneurs can tap into the power of press releases to build credibility, visibility, and momentum—without breaking the bank.

Mickie shares the story behind founding eReleases over 26 years ago, after realizing most small businesses were priced out of traditional PR. From humble beginnings to now partnering with PR Newswire, his company remains laser-focused on helping underdog brands get the attention they deserve.

We dig into:

Why most press releases don’t work—and how to write ones that do
How storytelling, strong quotes, and strategic data can make your release irresistible to journalists
Simple ways to get local media coverage without spending a dime
A wild case study that helped a small carpet company close 17% more sales
Why credibility through earned media can often outperform paid ads
How to pitch local papers, land monthly columns, and become a "media darling" in your community

Please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Mickie Kennedy.
