In this episode of Penny for Your Shots, Angel Wilborn returns for a lively and inspiring conversation about her journey as a PR professional, podcaster, and creative entrepreneur. From the hilarious moments with her son to her passion for helping solopreneurs, Angel shares real-life stories, practical insights, and wisdom that will leave you feeling empowered to conquer your own goals.

Tech-Savvy Kids and Fun School Memories

Angel starts by sharing her experiences at her son’s school, where elementary students are creating media magic with iPads and morning news shows. From recording segments to dance parties, the kids—and even Angel—bring energy and creativity to everything they do.

"Watching these kids take charge of production and create something amazing reminded me that we’re never too young—or too old—to try something new."

Embracing the Bitter Quitter and Breaking Limiting Beliefs

Angel introduces the concept of the "bitter quitter," where setbacks and disappointments can lead to giving up. She recounts a personal story about attending boot camp and how frustration turned into a lesson about self-compassion.

"The things we tell ourselves become our truth, but we can rewrite the story. Celebrate small wins, find a buddy, and don’t let temporary setbacks define you."

The Importance of PR for Small Businesses

Angel highlights the often-overlooked value of public relations for solopreneurs and small business owners.

"PR isn’t just for big brands. It’s about building trust, managing crises, and preparing for the unexpected—whether it’s a storm, a viral review, or power outages."

With her podcast, PR Toolkit, Angel offers quick, actionable advice to help business owners integrate PR into their growth strategies. Season 2, launching in January, focuses on pitching yourself and standing out in the crowded marketplace.

Cocktails and Connection

Of course, no episode would be complete without a cocktail recommendation! Angel shares her favorite creations, including the refreshing Tequila Sunrise with a Pineapple Twist.

This naturally led to a fun discussion about Penny’s Sipper Club, where cocktails and conversations bring women together.

"The cocktails are great, but the connection and camaraderie are what make it special."

Wisdom for 2025

As the conversation winds down, Angel reflects on her goals for 2025, emphasizing the importance of staying open to possibilities.

"We think on such a small level, but God and the universe have bigger plans. Leave room for magic and trust the process."

Conclusion:
Angel Wilborn’s blend of humor, heart, and honesty makes this episode a must-listen. Whether you’re building a business, navigating life’s challenges, or looking for a fun cocktail idea, Angel’s insights will inspire you to keep going and growing.
