She walked into a courtroom expecting to lose a year of her life. Instead, she walked out with a second chance she negotiated for herself.
In this episode of Delusional, CEO Tamara Thompson of Broadcast Your Authority shares how that moment changed everything. After battling alcoholism, multiple DUIs, and 90 days in jail, she chose a different path. She went back to school, discovered filmmaking, and used that turning point to rebuild her life from the ground up.
Fifteen years later, Tamara is sober, has built a multimillion‑dollar creative agency, invested in more than 30 companies, and created a life filled with purpose.
We talk about leadership, pushing boundaries, and why she believes that “Impossible” is just the starting line. If you’ve ever been told you can’t, this episode will make you question what else is possible.
