“My mom always said ‘Consider the source.’ This was such a valuable and layered piece of advice. Of course, when someone says something negative, it encourages you to think about where they are coming from and who they are as a person. But, it also has meaning when it comes from a place of positivity. Is the compliment genuine and authentic, etc.? As a writer, business owner, and PR professional, you always want to consider the source for the benefit of your clients, but also when vetting PR opportunities. Three words, a myriad of meanings and applications. I’m grateful and will definitely pass this piece of advice on to my two boys!”
