Brett Farmiloe, founder and CEO of Featured, joined Jason Barnard, CEO of Kalicube, on Fastlane Founders and Legacy to lay out how entrepreneurs scale trust in the AI era: short expert contributions to the 2,500 publications that use Featured's platforms, timely interviews that AI answers cite, and an audit-first approach to visibility.

## Key takeaways

- A 400-character expert contribution is the lowest-lift way into the more than 2,500 publications that use Featured's platforms. Farmiloe weighs time against expected output and calls contributions a low time lift with real upside.
- Nobody has a definitive answer for getting featured in LLMs, and that isn't stopping anyone. His sequence: audit, define what opportunities exist, act on them, then create your own.
- There are more marketing agencies than coffee shops in the US. Businesses now have the tools to do PR themselves, and the constraint is time.
- Quality over quantity is the immediate answer, but don't sleep on quantity. That tension is why 2025 is confusing for marketers; forced to choose, Farmiloe picks quality.
