In this episode I walk you through exactly how to get your big ideas media ready. I give you my own 5 step process as a publicist and PR mentor to stretch your big idea.    I don’t want to oversell it but I genuinely believe our stories can change the world. But if no one knows about them, we can’t create impact.    Often, we wake up in the middle of the night and jot down an idea. When we attempt to elaborate on it the next day, we realise that it's a hot take, a perspective that many others already agree with and have already vocalised.   In this episode you’ll learn to observe the media landscape with a critical lens, how to refine and disqualify your ideas so you’re not pitching a basic b!tch concept and what the substantiation process looks like when you get to the pointy end of validating your idea.    It’s not an overnight process, but one piece of really deep thought leadership research will give you rich content to lean on at every touch point, from your initial pitch to presentations, media interviews and inclusions within your book.   If you want to grab a copy of my comprehensive State of Thought Leadership Playbook.
