In this episode, we had the pleasure of talking with Jill Martin Wrenn who’s 20+ years of experience ranges from CNN and the BBC to her own podcast, “How to Build a Village” where she interviews a wide range of people from authors and entrepreneurs to journalist and others who are building global communities. Jill is also a teacher and media coach. 

Jill actually started out as an actress. Her journalist experience began at CNN in New York and eventually took her to London as a producer.  We talk about her years in business news, podcasting, and her freelance work. We also dive into the future of new media and legacy traditional news in this new era along with the blurry differences between U.S. and European media.

Jill is particularly interested in founder stories. We talked a bit about how founders can better approach media people like herself. She dives into real examples of how companies have impressed her with their approach and the value of humanity, flexibility, and vulnerability that leads to some of the best stories. 

Jill had so many great insights from working with editors to understanding different cultures to what’s missing from today's education. There is so much to be learned from her sharing her experience. Enjoy!
