Think Unbroken

Michael Anthony: Special Episode with Ciara Pressler

In this episode, I chat with Pregame Founder and serial entrepreneur and my sister from another mister - Ciara Pressler. This is one of my favorite interviews that I have done to date and am so pumped to share it with you. We go deep on the social climate of the world, trauma, my book: Think Unbroken, and what it really takes to step into the journey of healing childhood trauma and CPTSD.

Show Your Business Who’s Boss

The Allure Of Outsourcing, The Marketing Racket, And Whether Anyone Deserves To Be A Business Owner

Do you embrace marketing and selling? Do you relish the chance to share what you do with the people who need it? Or are you hoping to pass off marketing and selling to someone else as quickly as possible?

Hiring an expert to help with marketing and sales can be a great idea, but only if you’ve gotten your hands dirty and taken the time to learn–and embrace–it first. Maybe you read some books, take a course or two, or hire a coach to help you beef up your marketing and sales skills. Jumping in the deep end with marketing and sales might just be your first step in showing your business who's boss.

The truth is that there’s a whole marketing racket waiting to take advantage of you and your cash flow just because you want to get marketing and sales off your plate. But a real boss invests time and energy into knowing what works before you outsource it.

PR Talk

Pregame Your PR

Ciara Pressler is a force of nature. Not only does she run Pregame — a training program for entrepreneurs who want to maximize their time, money, and opportunities — she’s also published two books and has written regularly for the Huffington Post. Ciara gets a big charge out of helping other entrepreneurs realize their business goals. Much of that comes from giving them an opportunity to interact with other professionals. “Having a trusted group of people who can give you feedback is invaluable,” Ciara told me. And that’s exactly what Pregame provides. With so much on her plate, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to chat with Ciara about her history and experience in PR, along with the work she’s doing with other local entrepreneurs.
