If you're a founder building something from absolutely nothing, that's a huge win. It takes courage to bet on yourself and go for it.

Most people never get started at all.

Most always focus on what could go wrong.

Most wish they could take a swing like you.

Give yourself more credit. You're doing great.

Remember that and keep going.

Startups are really hard.

That’s why most people never build one.

Luckily you don't have to be like most people.

Keep going.

Sometimes bad stuff is going to happen as a founder.

You’ll wake up to bad news.

You’ll have a month that breaks you a little.

That’s part of the game.

Get through it and you come out stronger.

Better and more dangerous.

Keep going.

It’s easy for founders to forget how lucky we are.

We get to build what we care about.

Solve problems that matter.

Make customers happy.

Work with people we enjoy being around.

We really do have it made.

You don't need a “disruptive” idea to launch a startup.

You don't need to reinvent a market.

You don't need to create a new category.

You don't need to build a billion dollar valuation to be successful.

You 100% do need the courage to just get started though.

So please go for it.

Matter Communications

At Matter, I was charged with telling the company's unique PR and social media story via traditional marketing and public relations channels, as well as via an array of social media platforms. I'm also a driving force in attracting new business via content marketing, and working closely with all teams and agency principals throughout the pitching process at this rapidly growing PR firm north of Boston, with offices in Providence, RI, Portland, OR, and Boulder CO.

I wholly subscribe to Matter's philosophy: "Do the right thing." That means ensuring client delight, stoking staff engagement and doing good works in the local community. This mantra has resulted in the company growing year-over-year for the past several years. Cool.

💥 DON’T: hire a PR agency if you don’t have anyone internally able to focus on it. 

DO: hire an agency when you prioritize PR as a key business driver. 

This is the way ✊

💥 Just downloaded Muck Rack’s “What is AI Reading?” report. 

If you’re in comms, you need these insights. 👇

😮 Non-paid media accounts for 94% of links cited by AI

😮 82% of links cited by LLMs come from *earned media*

In other words, PR isn’t a nice to have in the age of AI. 

It’s a straight-up performance channel. 

Vroom vroom
