- Featured's accessible model and AI-powered matching democratize access to media opportunities for entrepreneurs, marketers and credentialed professionals.
- Reviving HARO adds a second platform for connecting journalists with expert sources, announced weeks before this episode.
- That's Audacious, from The Audacious Agency and host Lauren Clemett, packs entrepreneurs' stories, tips and quick-fire questions into 20 minutes. Episode 32 was published on May 15, 2025 and runs 24 minutes. Recorded before Featured relaunched Connectively on June 2, 2026, so product details reflect the platforms at the time.
