Today we’d like to introduce you to Tam Jackson.
Hi Tam, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My name is Tamarika (Tam). Creator of Talkz W/Tam Podcast. I’m from Atlanta, GA, born and raised in one of the roughest parts (Bankhead). Growing up was tough and fun at the same time. I’ve seen a lot and lived through it as well. I had my first and only child(son) at 23 years old, and because of him, I’ve made a lot of better choices. I look at life totally different than I did before him. I’m more driven and passionate about things I’ll normally brush off because of my procrastination. I’m still learning as I go, and it’s not easy at all, but I’m blessed.
It’s so much I can say in this interview, but I rather you go listen and learn more about my growth. I own a cleaning service alongside my business partner/best friend, and now I’ve ventured out on my own to start my podcast. I feel like it’s a good time to talk about real life things and to create a good space for everyone to talk about their experiences and give advice in all areas with no judgment.
This is a new path for me, and I’m ready to share my experiences on raising my son, running multiple businesses, being involved in my son’s school/professional activities, keeping my sanity intact, trying to eat right, battling depression, etc. It’s time to reintroduce myself, continue to show my growth, and hopefully help others along the way.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It hasn’t been smooth at all. Starting a podcast takes a lot of dedication and consistency. I already have a business up and running that I’m still building, and adding my podcast has been challenging. I have so many topics in my notes and messages from people on things they want to hear me discuss. I’m getting things in order, and it will be a success.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Talkz W/Tam is a podcast where we will discuss everything about life. It’s for everyone. I’ll share a lot of my experiences, and hopefully, it can help some people. I only speak about things I’ve experienced or witnessed. I’m known for speaking my mind, and that’s exactly what I will do. I’m really proud of myself for even starting my podcast because I really stay to myself and only give advice when asked. This is a big step for me. I want my listeners to know that I will always give my honesty wholeheartedly and create a space for them to ask questions and give advice as well. No judgement!!!
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
We will experience so many emotions on my podcast. I hope y’all are ready! It’s available on Spotify and Apple podcast.
