If you feel the pressure to live up to the expectations of others or yourself and you are discouraged when you feel like you aren’t quite getting there, this is the perfect episode for you. Jeremy Slate’s business endeavors could look like a series of unfortunate events, but he has found a way to learn something valuable from each experience and create for himself the life he wants.
Show Notes
Our guest on this episode of The Friday Habit podcast is Jeremy Slate, host of the Create Your Own Life podcast and co-founder of the Command Your Brand agency with his wife. Jeremy went to college with the hopes of becoming a college professor one day, but after he finished his Masters’ degree and entered the job market, he realized that he was either overqualified or underqualified for every job he was interested in. Jeremy had bad break after bad break before he taught himself how to build websites and he launched his first (unsuccessful) podcast before landing on the Create Your Own Life podcast that has served him well and turned his career around.
Things started to click for Jeremy when he realized that he could be a successful lifelong learner, and he launched Command Your Brand with his wife as a way of combining his love for learning with passing along his acquired knowledge to businesses looking to get more involved in their public relations. Public relations is the avenue for making good works known, literally spotlighting the organization’s relationship with the public. Jeremy’s 3 main tips for people wanting integrate more PR into their operations are: (1) Know what is news worthy or interesting, (2) Employ the small pond strategy, and (3) Have a plan for what you will do with the PR. He also recommends learning how to write a great press release, making a list of the “small ponds” you are a part of, and learn the terminology so you can get the word out.
