Authentic As F*ck is a podcast all about storytelling. I have conversations with entrepreneurs, and creators, hear their stories, and how these stories shaped the person.

So excited to share in Episode 109 of the AAF podcast: How To Get Featured On Forbes Without Paying For PR w/ Gloria Chou. Don't miss this inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship and storytelling.

Gloria Chou is an award-winning Small Business PR coach and host of the top-rated Small Business PR Podcast. Her untraditional yet proven PR methods that allow anyone to gain top-tier, earned media without needing to hire an agency, have industry connections or any PR experience have been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, Crunchbase and on over 50+ podcasts.

Through her online community of nearly 10k mainly BIPOC and WOC founders, and signature PR Secrets Masterclass, Gloria helps early-stage founders "hack their own PR" to go from unknown, to being seen, heard, and valued with her proprietary 3-step CPR Pitching Method™— one that’s helped 10,000+ small businesses get over a combined 1 Billion free, organic views in top tier outlets such as the New York Times, Vogue, Fast Company, Forbes and more.

As a former U.S. Diplomat that’s never worked in PR, marketing or had any industry contacts, Gloria cold-called thousands of newsrooms to crack the code on PR, and now helps other entrepreneurs do the same. Gloria’s #1 mission is to make PR more accessible so that all founders—especially those who have been marginalized and underrepresented, can learn how to grow their businesses and confidently tell their stories without breaking the bank.

So excited to share in Episode 99 of the AAF podcast: Eva Alordiah Decided To Pause Her Dream To Make Money. Don't miss this inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship and storytelling.

Elohor Eva Alordiah is an award-winning Rapper, Writer, Entrepreneur, and Co-founder of Africa’s first all-in-one course hosting platform Kobocourse.com

Eva is a multi-faceted creative artist who has indulged in every expression from writing to poetry, rap music, fashion designing, makeup artistry, public speaking, and now, digital marketing.

After falling into a deep depression in 2017, Eva took a needed break away from her first love of Rap music and spent her newfound solitude investing herself into the rabbit hole of digital marketing.

What started as a simple exploration of content creation will later lead Eva into the fast-paced world that is the online education business.

In 2020, just as the pandemic was shutting the world down, Eva teamed up with her brother, Keno Alordiah out of necessity, and together they built the Saas platform Kobocourse.com

Together the sibling co-founders are growing Kobocourse.com into the only platform African creators will need to earn money online by selling their knowledge to a global audience.

Eva now juggles her time between her music career as a Rapper, Writer, and Teacher, while building the next generation of African creators monetizing their knowledge online easily, thanks to Kobocourse.

Adeyemi has spent 11 years exploring the realms of spirituality, quantum physics, plant medicine and energy.

His powerful healing journey led him to develop his own energetic formula, to empower both himself and his clients in unlocking their full potential and experiencing radical transformation.

More recently, after hosting 30+ psychedelic experiences with clients, he launched his new membership program, Otherside, a private and invite-only space for accomplished men on their own journey of transformation. Otherside will guide them to unlock and master their spiritual and emotional selves using his own proven and highly effective transformation formula.
