This episode is a special one because the guest is not only an incredibly talented and well-respected publicist, but she’s the newest member of the Adler PR team, Nicole Myden.

It felt only fitting to have Nicole on the podcast because she brings such a unique and well-rounded perspective to the industry. She’s seen PR from every angle —agency life, in-house roles, and building her own business from the ground up.

Nicole started her career in Los Angeles, working in entertainment PR and gaining experience at top agencies before eventually making her way to Arizona. From there, she launched her own PR business, where she built a brand centered around helping small businesses gain the visibility they truly deserve.

She’s also the author of the Amazon best-selling book You Are Worthy of Publicity, and someone who deeply understands not just the strategy behind PR, but also the mindset and energy it takes to put yourself out there.

Now, in this season of her career, she’s joined Adler PR as an account director, bringing with her that entrepreneurial mindset, diverse experience, and more than 25 years of expertise that Adler PR's clients are already benefiting from.

This episode dives into Nicole's journey, from LA to launching her own business, to working in-house, and now being part of the Adler PR team. We also talk about the realities of entrepreneurship, when to pivot, protecting your energy and what it really takes to build a successful PR career.

In this episode of Earn It, Jennifer interviews Dr. Kristopher Alpers, founder of Alpers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry and Adler PR client, to explore what it takes to build and scale a premier dental practice rooted in innovation, trust, and leadership.

Recognized as one of Arizona’s Best Doctors, Dr. Alpers has built a Scottsdale-based practice that blends cutting-edge technology with a deeply personalized, patient-first approach. From comprehensive 3D imaging and early-detection diagnostics to advanced cosmetic and implant solutions, he is redefining modern dentistry by prioritizing prevention and whole-body health. His philosophy is simple but powerful: patients should feel informed, empowered, and genuinely cared for — not rushed through an appointment.

Jen and Dr. Alpers discuss his journey from collegiate athlete to entrepreneur, the lessons in discipline and resilience that shaped his leadership style, and the realities of acquiring and growing a private practice. He shares how he has scaled his business while maintaining culture, invested heavily in team development, and leveraged emerging technologies, including AI, to elevate both clinical outcomes and the overall patient experience.

The conversation also dives into mentorship, community involvement and why giving back is a core pillar of his business model. From coaching fellow dentists nationwide to his continued service with The Neighborhood Christian Clinic, Dr. Alpers believes true success is measured by impact beyond his own walls. He also shares surprising oral health facts, key business lessons learned along the way, and his perspective on where healthcare and dentistry are headed in the years ahead.

Season 2 of Earn It kicks off with a conversation that perfectly captures what this show is all about: building success through hard work, relationships and giving back to the local community.

In this episode, Jen is joined by longtime Adler PR client and friend, Kirk McClure, a construction industry leader at JE Dunn Construction and founder of two golf-focused ventures – Stadium Classic and 3Ten.

Kirk shares his path into the construction industry, how he carved out a niche in new business development, and what his client solutions role at JE Dunn entails. He also opens up about what it’s like to balance a demanding full-time career while building and scaling two side businesses, both related to his passion for golf. With Stadium Classic around the corner, this timely episode dives into how Kirk has grown the annual event into one of the Valley’s most unique and impactful charity golf tournaments supporting deserving nonprofits.

Throughout the conversation, Kirk and Jen discuss leadership, lessons learned along the way, the power of community involvement, and the effectiveness of PR for both large corporate organizations and mission-driven nonprofits.

This episode is a must-listen for professionals who want to grow their careers, entrepreneurs building something on the side, and anyone who believes success is more meaningful when it’s used to make a difference.
