Here is a short bio about our Guest, Mickie Kennedy:

Mickie Kennedy is an embodiment of the entrepreneurial spirit, a visionary who adeptly navigated the highs and lows of the dynamic dot-com era. With a flair for innovation, Mickie launched a successful consumer newsletter business that captivated audiences with movie reviews, horoscopes, and trivia, all penned by a talented cadre of freelancers. His business acumen shone brightly as he amassed over a million subscribers across three robust lists, translating into substantial revenue.

As the digital landscape evolved, so did Mickie's ambitions. He perceived the potential in email distribution and founded eReleases, a company that identified and targeted journalists by their specific beats. By distributing press releases via email, Mickie created a new avenue for delivering information and generating income by charging clients a fee for this service. eReleases stood as a separate entity and a clever iteration of his newsletter venture, utilizing similar operational strategies.

The disruption came with the dotcom crash, which decimated advertising revenues and left many floundering. Yet, Mickie's strategic foresight and resilient spirit enabled eReleases to endure when others faltered. As his consumer newsletter revenues plummeted to zero, eReleases maintained its ground, a testament to Mickie Kennedy's entrepreneurial acumen and ability to adapt and persist through challenging times.
