Jared Gibson is the co-founder of Outworks, where he helps executive teams turn what they already know into a repeatable content system that builds trust before a sales call ever happens. With a background in sales and marketing leadership, Jared is obsessed with one thing: making sure smart leadership teams don’t stay invisible. At Outworks, he builds executive content infrastructure that helps ideas travel, authority compound, and conversations start long before someone clicks “Book a meeting.” He lives in Highland Park, IL with his wife and two kids. When he’s not thinking about content, distribution, or why most LinkedIn strategies are broken, he’s on the golf course or emotionally invested in Cleveland and Ohio State sports (for better or worse). https://authoredup.com/blog/linkedin-360brew Thank you for listening to "Can You Hear Me?".

About Tam Lawrence: I built my career in public relations before I built media infrastructure. After more than two decades working across brand communications, publishing, and executive visibility, I recognized a structural breakdown in how communities access trustworthy media. Local journalism was collapsing. Civic participation was declining. Digital platforms prioritized algorithms over accountability. That observation led to the creation of PIQSTAR INC., a public benefit corporation engineered to restore civic mass media infrastructure through streaming television. As Founder of PIQSTAR INC. and CEO of Exposure Plus TV, I have invested millions to launch a platform reaching over 1.3 million interested viewers and more than 264,000 loyal subscribers. Our model integrates OTT/CTV distribution with equitable labor frameworks designed to revive displaced journalists, empower local content producers, and create sustainable monetization ecosystems. Our flagship application, Economic Relief for Content Creators, establishes a structured pathway for community-based filmmakers, daytime television producers, and independent journalists to generate revenue through aligned partnerships and fixed-placement media models. This is not simply a streaming platform. It is a civic utility. We are rebuilding local journalism, restoring public access to government proceedings, and creating a media infrastructure that places community ownership at the center. My work sits at the intersection of: Civic engagement. Media innovation. Economic liberation for creators. Public benefit governance. If you are building the future of trusted media, I welcome the conversation. https://www.piqstar.com/ https://www.exposureplustv.tv/ https://canyouhearmepod.beam.ly/ Thank you for listening to "Can You Hear Me?".
