Welcome to this special recap episode of my interview with Sourcebottle Founder Bec Derrington from November 2022!
We had such an overwhelming response to this episode the first time we aired it, I thought it was worth re-releasing it to recap all the highlights and remind you all, my fellow business owners, entrepreneurs and founders how to grab that low hanging fruit using this service and get featured in te media over and over again.
For those not in the know Sourcebottle is a disruptor publicity platform - a free subscription service that distributes more than 25M emails a year (and growing), each crammed with free media leads. It's hands down the BEST and easiest way to get yourself, your business or your brand featured in the media, if it's your first time or your 500th!
Bec is a former lawyer turned PR guru and Bec has a simple vision for her business: for every journalist using the service to be INUNDATED with responses from quality sources; and for every SourceBottle subscriber to get publicity or FAMOUS using it.

Most people who sell a business they've poured five years of blood, sweat and no salary into would take the win and put their feet up for a while. My guest today looked at her payout and thought, "Great, let's do it all again, but harder, faster, and with a lot more on the line this time."
There are 2.2 million self-employed Australians. Nearly half of small business owners aren't contributing to their own super. And most of them are telling themselves the same thing: my business is my retirement plan.
They beat out 14 other applicants for the lease. They opened with 5,000 local social media followers already waiting for them. They had a line out the door on winter mornings. Their biggest day was 444 coffees in a little suburban cafe with just two people behind the counter.
