Chris Norton, Founder and Managing Director of Prohibition PR, shares how he went from burnt-out freelance PR consultant working 70-hour weeks to leading a 28-person agency built on focus, crisis comms, and campaigns people actually talk about. He breaks down how to use cultural insight, behavioral science, and a strong “gut check” to choose better clients, protect your energy, and design PR work that drives real behavior — not just headlines.

Listen to this episode to learn how to rethink PR, set better boundaries as a marketer or founder, and build campaigns your audience genuinely wants to share.
