Be your authentic self: #PitchPro Timothy McLemore

This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers'' podcast follows the passionate journey of Timothy McLemore, founder of Essential Haus, a Miami-based non-profit that supports LGBTQ+ individuals affected by domestic violence and homelessness. In his book, "Love Is Not Abuse," Timothy shares his own personal experiences with domestic abuse in a gay relationship and provides resources and hope for others in similar situations. As a community organizer, social media influencer, and skilled networker, Timothy's mission is to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ relationship issues, and provide a safe space for anyone living a truth not widely accepted by mainstream society. 

 

Key pitching takeaways from Timothy McLemore on this episode of “Pitch Live”:

• Be Genuine: Authenticity is key to yourself and your story.
• Lead with Pain Points: Begin your pitch with the problems and challenges.
• Create Community: Cultivate supporters around your cause to gain momentum.
• Listen Actively: Be real in your interactions and show you care.
• Return to Your Stomping Grounds: Leverage past connections by revisiting familiar places and people.
• Embrace Rejection: Your pitch isn’t for everyone, so keep pushing until you find the right people who will open the door for you.
