Episode 25: Determination, Monetizing Your Brand, And Enjoying The Bumpy Ride To Success With Hillary Sawchuk of A Drink With

This week’s guest is Hillary Sawchuk. She’s the creator of the popular interview series A Drink With and an all-around inspiring woman. Hilary has interviewed everyone from Common to Steve Forbes to Kurt Russell for her site. And looking at the super-polished, pulled-together brand she’s created, you’d think the she’d be kicking back and drinking champers with celebs. But Hillary explained in our conversation that things aren’t always as glamorous as they appear. And neither was the journey to get where she is today. 

We discuss how she went from a utilities intern for The Pistons (where she was literally carrying a cord around behind a cameraman) to becoming on-air talent, the reason she started A Drink With, how she’s monetizing it today, and why she believes getting told “no” can still be a small victory for your brand.
