In this episode of The Mission Control Podcast, Mike sits down with legendary PR pro Kelly Swanson, founder of Swanson Communications. With just $8,000 in the bank and a Volkswagen Beetle, Kelly launched her agency from a New York apartment—and went on to represent some of the biggest names in sports, including 15 years as Floyd Mayweather’s publicist. They dive into the real grind of building a business:

• How Kelly landed her first clients and stayed afloat early on
• What it takes to scale when your name is the brand 
• Managing crises (like hacked accounts at 4 a.m.) 
• The difference between publicity and advertising and how to leverage both 
• Why hustle, consistency, and just showing up still win 

Whether you're in PR, marketing, or building a business of your own, this conversation is packed with hard-earned wisdom and real-world lessons.
