We talked about how he turned a simple local news pitch into hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential deals, why good storytelling matters more than bragging, and how to make your business interesting enough for media to cover. Jon also broke down how press releases , social media , and building in public helped him grow his AI business. Finally, we talked about getting over the fear of putting yourself out there, posting consistently, and taking asymmetric bets that can change your business forever.
