John Gafford 0:00
back again back again for another episode of like it says in the opening man the show that gets you from where you are to where you want to be and today in studio i have a it's kind of a crazy story it really is but this is a person who again is an entrepreneur that bootstrapped up from nothing into a massive business dealing with some of the biggest players in the world, showing them how to broadcast their authority through her company, Broadcast Your Authority. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. This is Tamara Thompson. Tamara. Thanks for having me, John. I'm really grateful to be here. Happy to have you.

John Gafford 0:51
This is my, Tamara's like, and I have this person and I have this person and I have this person. This is my sixth podcast today.
Tamara Thompson 0:59
I'm proud of you. I think the most I've done is 22 in one day.
John Gafford 1:02
How, how do you do, how would you possibly do 22 podcasts a day?
Tamara Thompson 1:07
Well, we go through this whole like batch recording method for an entire season, right?
John Gafford 1:11
Oh my gosh.
Tamara Thompson 1:12
We do like three days of full on, like, Sometimes it'll be like 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. But we have it where they can help my energy because we give back and have co-hosts on our show. Yeah. So it's not just myself. So if I'm literally like, hey, John, I'm like, I want you to introduce the next guest. And it like helps me stay through the day. I have a little bit of protein, a little bit of caffeine. Yeah.
John Gafford 1:34
They kind of prop you up in the back like we get at Bernie's and are pulling the strings and you're doing your thing.

How did Tamara's traumatic experiences shape her journey to recovery?

John Gafford 1:38
I love that movie. Yeah. No, dude, it's, yeah, it's been a long day. I mean, it's been a great day. One of the good things about recording in Vegas is kind of everybody gets here eventually, right? They come here to speak at events. They came here to do events. They come here. So it's a great place to record a podcast. You know, I don't know how people could possibly do this living in like Kentucky. Like, No, we're Arkansas. Yeah. You'd have to, you'd have to like travel constantly to interview people. And it's, it's, it's a, it's a blessing.
Tamara Thompson 2:07
So grateful. So we're just grateful for the opportunity to bring these like amazing individuals that are humble. Like half the time, if I just send somebody a message, I'm like, Hey, we got this great opportunity. Will you come meet us in Vegas? Cause I built the relationship.
John Gafford 2:20
Right.
Tamara Thompson 2:21
And they're like, I'm I'm in when, when do you need me at this point? But that took building relationships over the year and connecting the dots. And then people, becoming clients and some people are power partners, you know? And so it's just like, and Vegas is kind of one of those spots where people are like, yeah, I can come out there. There's a lot to do. I can do a show. We have people that were like, okay, yeah. Like one gal is coming in tomorrow.

What pivotal moment led Tamara to seek help for her alcoholism?

Tamara Thompson 2:41
She's like, we got tickets to go to the sphere. We're going over to Cirque de Soleil. You know, we're going to this. And I'm like, cool. There's, they're going to a concert. So I was like, yeah, you can make a thing out of it. Right.
John Gafford 2:51
Just come to us first. Like, it's funny. Yeah.
Tamara Thompson 2:54
I did tell her that.
John Gafford 2:55
Well, when you live here, do business here as we do, right? Because my primary business, as you all know, is definitely real estate. And we coach our agents this very important thing you have got to do. When you schedule an appointment from somebody that is coming to Vegas to look at real estate, whatever they are, you've got to tie them down in this fashion. And what I mean by this is the last thing we always say to people as we're getting off the phone with them is, are you good about keeping appointments? Because I want someone to verbalize that like, yeah, yeah, 10 o'clock. Yeah, I'm good about keeping appointments. Because when it's like 1.30 and they're at the craps table on a heater and they're hammered, that little voice is going to creep in and go, you said you were good about keeping appointments.
