What if you could get famous without anyone knowing you're marketing? It's not magic; it's the hidden art of Public Relations.

In this episode of Finding Peak, Ryan Hanley sits down with Mickie Kennedy, the founder of eReleases and a 25-year veteran of the PR industry, to pull back the curtain on "credibility engineering." Mickie reveals why press releases—a tool many have written off as dead—are more powerful than ever for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and content creators looking to build massive brand authority.

Forget what you think you know about PR. Mickie shares the counter-intuitive strategies that get results, from the psychological power of a contrarian take to the "Pill in the Cheese" method for getting media coverage without anyone realizing you're pitching.

In this episode, you will learn:

AI-Powered PR: How to use AI the right way to craft compelling press releases, and the one prompt you should never use.
Contrarian Authority: Why taking an opposing viewpoint can instantly make you appear smarter and more credible to your audience.

If you're ready to stop shouting into the void and start getting the attention your business deserves, this episode is your roadmap.

This is the way.
