Kristi Dosh and I have been colleagues for the last decade or so, yet we never actually connected during ALL of those years until now. We connected for a conversation about her PR business and why it’s so important to share your expertise and magic with the world.
Kristi Dosh is a publicist, author of Saturday Millionaire, and CEO of Guide My Brand. She works with entrepreneurs to establish themselves as experts and become more visible in their expertise to help grow their business. Her career began as a corporate attorney and she is now a nationally-recognized expert in sports by using a combination of blogging, public speaking and media appearances. She is continually evolving and has an ‘I can do anything’ attitude that has helped her take her career to amazing heights. In this soul fueled discussion, we cover pivot points, getting over our fears of self-promotion, and sticking to our why.
