Mission Control Podcast

She Keeps Pro Athletes in the Headlines!

In this episode of The Mission Control Podcast, Mike sits down with legendary PR pro Kelly Swanson, founder of Swanson Communications. With just $8,000 in the bank and a Volkswagen Beetle, Kelly launched her agency from a New York apartment—and went on to represent some of the biggest names in sports, including 15 years as Floyd Mayweather's publicist. They dive into the real grind of building a business:

  • How Kelly landed her first clients and stayed afloat early on
  • What it takes to scale when your name is the brand
  • Managing crises (like hacked accounts at 4 a.m.)
  • The difference between publicity and advertising and how to leverage both
  • Why hustle, consistency, and just showing up still win

Whether you're in PR, marketing, or building a business of your own, this conversation is packed with hard-earned wisdom and real-world lessons.
