Season 12 Premiere: Marc Whitt, Author of TAKEAWAYS

We’re back with a new season—and we’re opening strong. Alex sits down once again with Marc C. Whitt, one of the most respected voices in public relations, to dig into his brand-new book Takeaways: Ideas, Strategies, and Encouragement for the Nonprofit Public Relations Professional. Marc doesn’t just talk tactics—he unpacks what it means to treat PR as a calling, not just a job. From navigating ethical dilemmas to building authentic trust, from gratitude to community engagement, this conversation is packed with lessons that will resonate far beyond the nonprofit world.
