What if the reason you're not where you want to be... is simply that the right people can't see you?
In this episode of the Dope Living Podcast, host Janay sits down with Candice Smith, founder of French Press Communications, to have the visibility conversation most leaders are too afraid to start.
Candice breaks down why visibility is one of the most misunderstood concepts in business — and why winging it is costing you opportunities every single day. From the difference between marketing and PR, to her powerful Tastemaker Matrix framework, to the emotional barriers that keep brilliant people hidden — this conversation is a masterclass in being seen on purpose.
If you've ever shrunk back, played small, or waited until you felt "ready enough" to put yourself out there — this episode was made for you.

The real difference between marketing, PR, and visibility — and why you need all three
What the Tastemaker Matrix is and how to use it to build your visibility strategy
The AMORE framework for showing up consistently and effectively
Why relationship building is the most underrated visibility tool
