Today’s interview is with hiring expert and business consultant Meg Baker of MegKCo! She helps visionary entrepreneurs streamline their business with the right team and perfect their processes.
Meg is a delight to speak with and I’m super excited for you to tune into this episode.
Before we dive into the interview, I wanted to remind you that the price of my Pitch Power Hours are increasing come June 1st!
You can grab a spot in June NOW for the discounted price of $197.
Here’s what Mariah from Mariah Magazine shared about her Pitch Power Hour experience:
“THIS POWER HOUR WAS SO WORTH IT. For real. Brittney went through the pitch I was sending, fixed it up, AND recorded her feedback and notes while she did it so I could understand the WHYS behind the changes (which I totally love). We also strategized WHO I should be targeting with this pitch…because audience matters. All in all, when I send this pitch out, I know, for a fact, it’s going to be an EASY YES for people….and that’s exactly what I wanted.”
Alright, let’s dive into the episode!

Hey hey, welcome to the Human Connection podcast, I’m your host Brittney Lynn and today’s interview is with millennial finance expert Whitney Hansen of The Money Nerds!
After paying off $30,000 in 10 months, hacking her way to a $472 MBA, and buying her first home at 19, she discovered her love for helping Millennials take control of their financial life.
At the time we recorded this, it was significantly before the pandemic began so I decided to push back the episode to speak to the current climate.
But the topics we talk about during the episode are most definitely still relevant, if not MORE relevant since many of us are experiencing a stretching of our finances, some more than others.

Today’s episode is all about PR strategies for introverts.
Before we dive into today’s topic, I wanted to share about a brand new service I have called the Pitch Power Hour. This is where you and me can chat for 1 hour all about your PR strategy for a specific program or product you’d like to get in front of more people.
Whether you’re wanting to start pitching yourself for podcast interviews to help you grow your email list or have a course launch coming up, I’d love to help you strategize the best pitching options for you! You also receive 1 custom pitch template. Head to link listed below to sign up for a spot!
NOW….onto today’s episode…PR strategies for introverts!
I, too, am an introvert so please know that these tips are coming from someone who knows how you feel.
An introvert may feel uncomfortable at large networking events, feel totally drained after being at a party with a lot of people, you may not enjoy being put on the spot (your mind goes blank)…overall you prefer less social interaction and recharge your batteries by being alone.
You may be thinking that pitching yourself for media opportunities is only for extroverts. People that thrive on being surrounded by a lot of people, being the life of the party, but I’d beg to differ…introverts, especially during these times right now, can thrive off of being visible in ways that aren’t anxiety-inducing.
PR and visibility strategies for introverts

Yesterday was my 32nd birthday and I wanted to do something this week to give back, and give back in a huge way. As many of you listeners know, my 24 year old cousin is being treated for Leukemia at MD Anderson right now. Obviously during this times, the worry and uncertainty has increased 1000% as she has no immune system while being treated.
I’m hosting a fundraiser where my goal is to raise $25,000 to be able to donate to the hospital. You can go to brittneyllynn.com/fundraiser to learn more about where these funds will go.
So, until April 17th anyone who signs up for my course I will be donating all of those funds to my goal of raising $25,000.
