You might not realize, but your network and your contact list is likely the key to unlocking your next opportunity. This week's guest, Rachel Gillman Rischall, Founder of Three PR, has been leveraging the power of relationships and persistence for over 15 years.

Rachel Rischall graduated from college amid a tough job market. With no job prospects in sight, a conversation with a counselor launched her career in public relations. After wrapping up her tenure as the Director of Marketing Communications for a restaurant group, Rachel emailed her network, letting them know that she could take on a few freelance clients. That email would become the catalyst for her Chicago-based PR firm, Three PR.

Join our host Lindsay Pinchuk as she discusses the power of building relationships, storytelling, and owning your power in business.
