In this episode, college essay coach and former PR consultant Carter Osborne breaks down his journey from running a tutoring side hustle through grad school to eventually going all-in on his own business, and shares the media relations strategy he used to fuel that growth. Carter walks through how to build a targeted media list (and why tier-three outlets matter more than you think), how to craft a pitch that reporters actually want to open, and why the relationship doesn't end when the story runs. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur, freelancer, or small business owner wondering how to build credibility and attract inbound leads without a big marketing budget, this episode gives you a practical, no-fluff framework for using PR as a growth tool — completely free!
