Descripción del Episodio

Most people think PR is about getting press. Alexandra Taylor believes it is really about relationships, positioning, and knowing which people to avoid. In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Alexandra Taylor, founder of A-Team Strategies, to discuss crisis management, brand building, political relationships, creator-led media, Happy Dad, entrepreneurship, work ethic, local influence, and how reputations are built or destroyed. Alexandra explains why she left traditional publishing to build a relationship-first PR agency, how she helped restaurants navigate the shutdown era, and why owning your local community matters before trying to become nationally known. The conversation also covers Happy Dad’s rise, working with the Shahidi brothers, ranch life, local food, crisis communications, performance-based pay, social climbing, misinformation, reading people, and why entrepreneurs cannot afford to ignore local politics.
