Making Your Message Stick in a Noisy World with Jennifer Kaplan
In today's episode, I sit down with Jennifer Kaplan, a true PR powerhouse and the founder and CEO of Evolve PR and Marketing—the largest firm of its kind in Arizona. She's got lessons for the World.
In this conversation, Jennifer and I dive into the heart of what makes a great leader—beyond just business success. We discuss the power of giving back, how vulnerability shapes authentic leadership, and why showing up for your community can create a lasting impact.
We also unpack the difference between PR and marketing, the power of earned media, and what makes a brand message truly resonate. Jennifer doesn’t just run a top-tier agency—she’s got the heart, hustle, and insight that make her a magnetic force in the world of media and messaging.
If you’ve ever wondered when to hire a PR firm, how to show up like a pro on camera, or how to make your message stick in a crowded world, this episode is for you. Jennifer shares hard-earned wisdom from decades in the industry, and we get into why preparation beats improvisation—even if you’re great at winging it. (Spoiler: the most authentic pros rehearse more than you think.)
And stick around for some stories about leadership missteps from public figures that are cringeworthy and instructive.
This is a masterclass in visibility, authenticity, and influence—don’t miss it.
