302 - Pitch Your Power with Alice Draper

Season 4, Ep. 302

Alice Draper is a podcast publicist who is on a mission to make publicity easy and accessible for underrepresented women entrepreneurs at all stages of their businesses. She is the founder of the publicity business, Hustling Writers, for progressive coaches.


When Alice started building her business, she knew that publicity, in the right places, would garner her the authority she needed to position herself as a high-end copywriter. This came with an unplanned skill — the art of the pitch — which is how she ended up pivoting her business towards publicity. She has now written for Business Insider, HuffPost, Refinery29, VICE, and elsewhere.


She has been running Hustling Writers for over two years and in this time, she has secured her clients in over 500 podcasts including countless top 1% and top 0.5% podcasts.

When Alice isn’t building out publicity strategies or thinking of new story angles, she is taking advantage of her location independence by house-sitting with her partner in places like Tbilisi, Nairobi, or Cape Town.


She says, "Fear of rejection comes up so much in my work and - for women especially - I think it's the number one blocker between taking action. While men messing up, failing, being rejected, etc - and getting back on their feet - has been modeled and normalized, I don't think enough women have spoken about how we have 1) Failed and 2) Pivoted from these failures."

    We are so grateful to have you listening in to the No Labels, No Limits podcast where this week, we have a unique episode. Our regular Host, Sarah Boxx, shares a candid conversation with our Team Writer, Maria Lees. They comfortably chat about the identity and the concepts around staying true to yourself. In this episode, the roles are a bit reversed, as Maria interviews Sarah, asking very pertinent questions. What role does identity play in our lives, personal and business?What is the relationship between maintaining your identity and personal development? (The acorn and the oak tree.)When it comes to personal development, are there some strategies or practices helpful for developing our true sense of identity?When it comes to achievement, what role does identity play in pursuing goals and achievement?How would you define imposter syndrome, where does it come from, and an example of overcoming it?When asked about knowing who we are, Sarah says, "At the core, our identity really forms a basis for us. It's our sense of self, it shapes our actions, our decisions, and how we view other people because we know who we are. This helps us have resilience during challenging times and we are able to more easily adapt, because we can come back to center, to who we are."Learn more and get your chance to play in the SandBoxx: bit.ly/SandBoxxInfoLearn more and connect with the Sarah Boxx Team here:Website: www.SarahBoxx.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/sarahboxxFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/strategicvisioncoach/LinkedIn:  www.linkedin.com/in/SarahBoxxSherpa
