In this episode of Tech Diva Biz Talks, Audrey “Tech Diva” Wiggins sits down with Austin Holmes, President of Publicity For Good and Signal Raptor.
Austin is a former Naval Special Operations EOD Team Leader, purpose-driven entrepreneur, husband, father of four, and tech innovator based in Nashville, Tennessee. He helped scale Publicity For Good from $12,000 to more than $200,000 per month alongside his wife, Heather, who founded the company.
Austin also leads Signal Raptor, a PR tech platform designed to help startups and emerging brands gain media visibility, strengthen credibility, and access strategic public relations support.
In this conversation, Audrey and Austin discuss:
· Leadership lessons from Naval Special Operations
· Scaling a purpose-driven PR company
· Building a business with a committed “running mate”
· Balancing entrepreneurship, family, faith, and purpose
· Why PR can feel out of reach for small businesses
· How Signal Raptor is working to democratize public relations
· Why earned media still matters
· How AI is changing credibility and business communication
· The continuing importance of genuine media relationships
