Peter Shankman

It may mean that they have not had the right conditions to show up.

That is one of the reasons I wanted to talk about Peter Shankman's book, Faster Than Normal.

Shankman's message is that ADHD does not have to be viewed as a disorder that limits you.

He believes it can become a powerful advantage when you understand your brain, recognize your triggers, and build your life in a way that supports how you naturally operate.

We can see possibilities that other people don't always see.

And that can lead to risk-taking creativity, doing things that may not make sense to everyone.

Peter Shankman's life is a good example of that.

He has built businesses, written books, spoken all over the world, and completed endurance events.

Julian brings a storyteller's eye to business and communication.

She's been quoted by Law360 on storytelling for lawyers, and she's also appeared on Peter Shankman's Faster Than Normal podcast.

Through Gillatanti Creative, Julian works with clients across the entire content creation cycle, from high-level content strategy from day to day, copywriting and editing.

Her work includes developing brand narratives, executive and organizational voices, key messaging, website copy, professional bios, editorial calendars, thought leadership articles, white papers, speeches, and social media content.

And I think that collectively this makes up for a really interesting, um, you know, set that PR professionals could take interest in.

Yeah, we're, we're definitely gonna talk about Help a Reporter Out since I remember when Peter Shankman started it, um, way back when.

Uh, but now you said Substacks.

Are you gonna do the same thing that you did for podcasts with Substack and Beehiiv in the newsletter industry?

[laughs]

And, and, and it was like, whoa, this is crazy.

So anyways, like, HARO's a great brand, and I think that when you look at journalist request platforms, you know, Peter, uh, Peter Shankman, who started it, actually started, you know, another, uh-

Uh-huh

Hi everybody and welcome to another episode of the DK podcast.

Today I'm joined by the one and only Peter Shankman.

Peter, welcome.

Hey, good to be here.

Here's my email.

You can also sign up for things like HARO, Help a Reporter Out, or Peter Shankman SOS, Source of Sources.

These are things where you sign up to be a source and it'll ping you with hundreds of different PR opportunities a day of journalists looking for things like, I want to talk to a financial advisor or I want to talk to a birth doula.

Not all of them are going to be your niche or a product fit, but you can scan them very quickly and then go through it and see.
