In this episode of Bright Ideas, Desiree B. Sharpe sits down with Mark Albert, founder and CEO of Media Advisory Experts, to explore what it really takes for leaders to use their voice with confidence and credibility. Drawing on his 25 years in broadcast journalism, Mark breaks down why the same experts dominate media conversations and how business owners and people leaders can position themselves as trusted authorities without big PR budgets. The conversation dives into overcoming self-doubt, recovering from mistakes, and reframing visibility as a responsibility, not a risk. Mark also shares practical guidance on pitching expertise to journalists, navigating high-stakes or sensitive topics, and leading with authenticity in a noisy, validation-driven world. This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs and people leaders who want to amplify their influence, strengthen their leadership presence, and make their voice count.
