actually can meet Tammy.
Welcome to the show.
Thank you so much for being here.
Thank you so much, Kyle, for having me.
So, yeah.
So it's, one of those things where I met Tammyin one of the, one of, my newer groups that is
(01:29):
a very active group that, we have a lot ofpeople doing a lot of great things for one
another.
We were supporting each other, and this is oneof the things that Tammy and I Tammy and I are

be going on my on her podcast to talk about mypodcasting stuff and then my background
wherever wherever that conversation goes, ofcourse, and and today is no different.
(01:53):
So, Tammy, go ahead and introduce yourself,what your background is.
Remember, Ignition Path is that path toentrepreneurship.
So maybe what you did prior to becoming anentrepreneur, like, explain what if that was if
you were always a entrepreneur, that's finetoo.
But if you if you worked corporate or were anurse or anything like that prior to becoming
an entrepreneur, talk about what you did priorand then the path a little bit about the path
(02:15):
about how you got to where you're at right now.
K.
Well, I've done a bunch of different things.
One of them was teaching children, and I'vealways had the entrepreneurial spirit, if that
makes sense.
So even though I was in a job, I could be in anine to five, I could be a manager at a gas
station, didn't matter what I was doing.
I was always having that side gig that was beyour own boss, do your own thing, have your own
(02:38):
stuff, like, never really embraced the wholecorporate world.
I did have a job that I started going door todoor for sales, and I was like, okay.
This is no fun unless I own this company.
Like, this is not gonna be fun unless I own it.
So, that was back in '14, I believe.
It was a a window and siding company.
(02:59):
So I did that for a little bit.
I started going door to door, and I said, well,what are my, you know, what is my trajectory?
Like, what is my path?
What is my destiny here?
Because it needs to be bigger than door todoor.
And they said, well, if you work really hard,you can have your own franchise.
And I said, okay.
That's kinda like being an entrepreneur.
Right?
Yes.
Right.
So I did it, and I went door to door, and Iended up opening three cities.
(03:22):
So I ended up getting three of my ownfranchises, Denver, Seattle, and Salt Lake
City.
Okay.
And had a really good time, but we were alldoor to door.
All our salespeople were door to door, and itwas I just always even though I was working for
myself, it was like I'm working for myself, butI'm still not doing something I absolutely
(03:43):
love.
So, I mean, by the grace of God, I don't wannasay yes.
It's a good thing that I lost it because ofCOVID, but I had 17 or 19 salesmen all on the
ground doing door to door sales when that hit.
And, obviously, that form of marketing was nolonger acceptable.
So, I will yeah.
(04:04):
So I went from it it was a tough one.
I went from 2, $22,200,000.0 in 02/2019 to400,000 in 02/2020.
Yeah.
That's a big hit.
So it big hit.
So you kinda remember I told you before westarted recording, I'm like, well, I won't talk
(04:24):
too much unless you open up a can of worms.
So here's something very funny that you did notknow, and I didn't know about you.
But I was I put I installed siding and doorswith and windows with my father from the time
that I was old enough to swing a hammer,essentially, and all the way through college.
I helped put myself through college by puttingin windows and doors with my dad.
So I'm very familiar with that industry to thepoint where I actually even was a sales rep for
(04:49):
one of the local, well, I should say the localto Ohio.
I think they started in Cincinnati, ChampionWindows.
A little shout out to Champion.
They were great back in the day when when I waswith them.
I'm not sure what they are now, but, they hadgood people back then, and I'm sure they got
good people now.
But we had a great window.
I knew exactly how they wanted to hire me as aninstaller, but I when they when I had that
(05:11):
interview, they're like, wow.
You you do really good in sales.
You're very personable, and you understand theconcept.
You understand how the windows go in.
Like, we like, none of our sales reps have theexperience that you do of, like, installing the
windows.
So I was like, okay.
I'm I'm down with a a sales position.
I know that makes more money, essentially, forthe most part, you know, to become a sales rep,
but you are boots on the ground and you're andyou're you're you're subject to the cycle.
(05:35):
And when I was doing that, I took a pause frommy health care division.
I stopped working at the hospital because I wasgetting denied sales rep jobs in the medical
industry because I didn't have sales experienceon my resume.
And I'm like, when I convince a doctor that Ineed to do a certain thing for a patient, that
they're you know, that's a sales position.
(05:56):
They're like, I sell every day to make sure,you know, my patients are are are taken care of
on on the level that I take care of them on forrespiratory therapy.
And they're like, nope.
Nope.
You have to have actual sales sales,experience.
So I went out and looked at different salesjobs, and I was like, well, I know windows and
doors.
That'd be, I wouldn't say easy for me to do,but it'd be the transition to sell those things
(06:16):
would be understandable to me and my brain.
And so I did that.
Well, that pause of the health care industryand me working for that medical sales was you
had a catastrophic event that ended your timein that.
My catastrophic event was 09:11.
So 09:11, that morning of, I'm in the we'redoing our debriefing and someone runs into the
(06:40):
debriefing and and our our day beforedebriefing, and we always talked about what we
sold the day before, yada yada, what our whatour stuff is in our meetings.
Somebody runs in.
There's a a a plane that that just hit the thetower.
And we're like, what?
And so we got up to watch and then livewatching it in one of the other rooms, we saw
the second plane hit.
And me being medical and have a strong medicalclinical background, I'm like, I gotta go.
(07:03):
I told my boss, Larry, Larry Coon.
Shout out to Larry Coon.
Still have contacts with him on on Facebook.
So shout out to Larry if he's watching this,but, he did one of the he said one of the
smartest things ever to me.
He's like, Kyle and I had a I had a baby on theway.
My son was born October 29.
Nine '11 was, of course, September 11.
And so just a little over a month away fromhaving our baby, and he stopped me in my tracks
(07:28):
and said, don't you dare drive to New York.
Because I was like, I know how I'm medical.
I've gotta drive to New York.
I need to save people.
I'm not attached to a hospital, but I know whatto do.
And he's like, don't do it.
We don't know what's going on up there.
We don't know how widespread this is.
And this is before you know, this is I think weeven knew that the Pentagon happened, but we
didn't know that that pits that Pennsylvaniahappened yet.
(07:49):
And he'd, like, spun me around and and and, youknow, I I really liked Larry.
He was very, father figure to me, early on inmy career with them, and he's like, go home, be
with your baby, be your new you know, your soonto be baby and your wife.
We don't know what's happening.
Protect them at all cost.
And I'm like, oh, shit.
You're right.
You know?
So it was one of those things where I was inthe middle of doing exactly what you're doing,
(08:12):
medical or, you know, sales in in windows anddoors.
I enjoyed the industry.
It was I didn't have my I I was able to run myown area, and and I started getting to the
point where I had my own stuff kinda like I wasan entrepreneur, but I still worked for for
Champion, of course.
So you actually had a company that you were youwere a division.
So you were a franchise.
(08:32):
So that is entrepreneurial.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
As a matter of fact, Champion was our biggestcompetitor in Cincinnati because that's where I
started in Cincinnati.
I started that's where the office was.
But, yeah.
And so it was.
I got to do it served every purpose it neededto serve.
My daughter was my partner, so we got totravel.
(08:53):
We got to do we you know, I don't wanna saywhat we wanted, but we got to live a great
lifestyle and
Sure.
And it it has served its purpose.
I became very good at sales, which if you're aparent, you're good at sales.
I don't care what they say.
So that should be you should be able to putparenting on your sales resume anytime that
you're a parent.
Right?
(09:13):
If you're a parent, you're selling somethingevery single
day.
Heck yeah.
No matter what they say.
That is so true.
Yeah.
But when, you know, when it was over and I waslike, okay.
Am I really in love with windows and siding?
And I was like, no.
I'm not.
So I'm in love with helping people combat thechildhood that I grew up in, and that's where I
(09:35):
turned all of my energy.
So I I had been a certified life coach foryears just because it was something that
interested me, but I didn't really see anybodyusing it back then.
So I just turned all my efforts to there.
I I wrote a couple books on the topic.
I began, you know, just reaching out to schoolsand just talking to whoever would listen.
And so that's what I do now.
(09:56):
So that's still again, I'm I cannot even fathomputting myself in a cubicle nine to five on
somebody else's watch and dime.
Just not gonna not gonna happen.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And and, you know, I'm still I'm I'm stillmedical.
I'm still clinical, but it's a little differentbecause, you know, being a paramedic now.
Back then, I was a respiratory therapist andworked in hospitals, and that is twelve hours a
(10:20):
day, three days a week, you know, blah blahblah.
Whereas a paramedic, you are every third day,and you have you know, when you're off when
you're not being a paramedic, you have daysoff, and that's when I created a couple of
different businesses, you know, handyman, youknow, my voice over business, and now my my
podcasting business and my podcast productionbusiness.
So, yeah, it's one of those things where I'vealways kind of been I got it honestly.
(10:44):
You know, my dad was an entrepreneur.
I saw him have his own business in Handyman.
I saw him have his own territory as a sales repthat he got to and deal with the whole entire
region on a very small company.
So he was still an entrepreneur.
Even when I was in medical sales, yes, I workedfor a company, but my was I was able to operate
my territory as as I saw fit.
(11:06):
So this is very entrepreneurial even thoughthere was somebody somebody else, you know,
that was dealing with stuff or, you know, theend end result with someone else.
So tell me more about the life coaching and,and when you know, you you you sprinkled a
little bit about that you had had someexperience in that, but why what was one of the
you know, on Ignition Path podcast, we talkabout the path that we come through it.
(11:27):
So as you came through that path, you know,COVID kinda forced us all to do weird different
things.
Right?
To do things to pivot.
I people have heard me talk about differentpivots and whatnot, and pivot into different
directions.
So as in your what was one of the hardestthings you had to do during that pivot that
that, you know, that provided for your family?
(11:49):
Like like, how long did it take you to makethat pivot where you could start?
I mean, I I know how much money you can make atselling windows and doors.
Yeah.
So I'm very familiar with with the the thelucrative division that that is.
So when it comes to that pivot and what whatyou ended up, you know, going into, where where
did that, you know, where did that sit on youwhen it came to doing it?
(12:12):
Well, that was part was a struggle justbecause, like I said, my business literally, I
mean, went dropped 90% in three months.
Like, it was bam.
It was going from 2,200,000.0 to 400,000, andit's hard to come back from that.
But, you know, at that point, it was kind of itwas almost like I didn't really have to pivot
into that loss of income because I didn'ttransition voluntarily, if you could say that.
(12:39):
So it was I had none.
Like, so had I stayed at my other job, well,job I say, but meaning my business, I would
have had none.
So it was very easy to kinda say, okay.
Well, something is better than nothing.
But I honestly shifted my mind into a it's notso much the the income as it's the flexibility,
it's the lifestyle, and it's the the freedom,and it's doing what you love.
(13:04):
And I say that if you're even if you're anentrepreneur, if you're not doing what you
love, you might as well not because you Yeah.
You really you know, I mean, like, you're inthe medical.
You're in medical.
Obviously, you love being I mean, we've talkedabout it on the phone.
You you light up.
It lights you up to save people and to helppeople and to have those skills and to be able
to use them.
(13:25):
So you're gonna do something with thatproductive.
But I was I was just not loving what I wasdoing.
So to me, I pivoted into more of a, okay, we'regonna do this and we're gonna take it and run
and kinda just see where it goes, see where ittakes me.
And it's, you know, it's been probably, I wannasay, about two year and a half that I've
actually been doing it now, and I'm just nowreally starting to get my feet on the ground
(13:48):
and really start making some forward momentum.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
And that's the you know, that's another thingwhen it comes to, when it comes to being an
entrepreneur.
You know?
It's the momentum.
And, you know, I'm not sure how much you dealwith or how if you've ever done any of the self
help stuff from Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi.
(14:09):
They spend a lot of time on momentum.
You know, that's something that they really,really beat the drum on.
And to get once you have a win, you have topiggyback on that win and and go to the next
thing.
So talk a little bit about momentum and whatwhat was it that gave you your first piece of
momentum per se?
(14:30):
Honestly, I think it was when I was in theairport with my friend, and literally, it was,
like, my first major moment because I had gonethrough okay.
So I went little backstory.
Both my parents are alcoholics.
I had gone through a tremendous amount of everykind of abuse and neglect that you can think
of.
And so I went into adulthood with a lot ofmindset shifting that needed to be done as far
(14:55):
as money and as far as relationships, as far aseverything.
So in this thirty years, literally, that I wasspending with with, like, the Tony Robbins kind
of people.
I remember walking on fire at his convention.
Did you
do that?
Do some of this.
I'm alright, Greg.
Yeah.
I did the convention, but it was the it was allvirtual still be or it was virtual then.
There was no there was no in person when I didit, but I I still want that's one of my life
(15:18):
goals is to get one of his true conventions.
So
Oh, life changing.
It was Yeah.
It was fun.
I got to walk on the Kohl's and all that stuffwith, like, 10,000 other people, 20,000 other
people.
But, but it wasn't it it was just new I had tolike, I shifted that way.
So I had all these tools.
So I went through, you know, I went throughhypnotherapy myself.
(15:40):
I went through therapy.
I did EFT tapping and learned all theseholistic methods to calm my own nervous system.
And
There's so many things that we have in common.
It's crazy now that I'm like, we never talkedabout any of this stuff.
Really?
There's so many things that I've done in mypast and and things that, you know, alcoholic
father now, mind you, he was done being analcoholic before I was born.
(16:01):
I'm the last of four.
Yep.
I know.
I know.
I'm I'm the biggest I'm the mistake of thefamily, but, you know, eight years eight years
later than my closest sibling.
So oops.
You know?
But, hey.
Mom always said that, you know, I was her bestoops.
So
Aw.
That's I guess that's a good compliment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would.
Yeah.
Mom lost it.
Mistake, you might as well be it.
Yeah.
(16:21):
Exactly.
So I I I've got a whole another story aboutthat and and ended up meeting people many years
later after my my mom passed away and thengetting and connected with people that I never
knew were her friend.
I never knew them, but they knew my mom when Iwas born.
And they reached out to me after my mom passedaway in February and started telling me some
stories about the time frame around when I wasborn.
(16:43):
And it was it was very moving.
It was very you know, she had never told methese things.
She had never shared that stuff that she hadtalked to other people about about me and and
the stress of having a new baby eight yearsafter the last sibling, you know, and all that.
So it's you know, when it comes to, you know,the things that you and I have in common now
that we're getting to know each other better,it's it's no wonder how that you know, there's
(17:07):
just certain people you connect with.
And and you're one of those type of people thathearing your story, hearing your background of
all the different things, not just being anentrepreneur, but your previous businesses and
that kind of stuff, and then your family stuff,it it's it's not surprising to me that I've met
you and that we were put in in the path of ofone another in our in our entrepreneurial, you
(17:28):
know, you know
Yeah.
I'm flow.
I'm I'm definitely starting to see that.
When we met on Lauren Lauren, the the firstthing she said the day after she met you is,
Tammy, you gotta meet this guy, Kyle.
Like And she said, Kyle, you gotta meet Tammy.
Like, you were the first person in that group.
She's like, you gotta meet her.
And we did.
We we introduced each other very quickly, butthen it took us two months, three months to
actually
(17:48):
Couple small little things.
You know?
Little things.
But we brought it we don't really let it rolloff our shoulders.
Yep.
That's funny.
So momentum.
Sorry.
Back to momentum.
Sorry.
Back to momentum.
Yeah.
We're lagging on the momentum.
Like, we can we can almost have, like, atherapy session here between the two of us.
No?
Right?
But so after, like, thirty years of doing allthis stuff to really overcome all this stuff
(18:13):
and kind of just step out as me, I guess, ifyou could say the best way to put it.
And, I mean, I knew I was an entrepreneurbecause maybe it was because of I didn't like
authority, and I didn't like to work for otherpeople, and I didn't like to be told what to do
because I'd been controlled my whole life.
So maybe that's why I had that.
Part of that might have been why I wanted to domy own thing.
But I was at the airport one day, and this isreally before my co I really started the
(18:37):
coaching.
I had a certificate and everything, but I wasin Vegas with a friend, and we were going to a
business workshop.
And it was about they were all in entrepreneursthat I was going with.
I met Jack Canfield that day and just somereally cool people.
And we're on the way on the business on theworkshop and I'm at the airport and I was doing
EFT tapping with a lady.
(18:58):
And I'd never met her.
She was sitting next to me and she was clearlyafraid to fly.
Her knee was going up and down.
She looks like she was getting ready to have ananxiety attack.
And I said, hey.
You don't know me.
My name is Tammy.
You know, are you afraid to fly?
And she said yes.
And I said, can you give me seven minutes ofyour life?
And she said, I don't know.
I said, just follow along with me.
(19:19):
If it doesn't work, we have nothing to lose,but let's just try this.
So we tapped out EFT tapping.
For those of you that don't know what it is,it's
That was my next quick once you got done, I waslike, make sure we talk about what what what it
is.
Yep.
I'll explain it a little bit brief you know,briefly.
It's Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Called emotional freedom technique, and what itis is it's literally tapping on the meridian
(19:39):
points of your body.
They're, like, on your head, right here, righthere, on your chin.
And it's literally, like, just the easiest,quickest way to say it is just you've got these
meridian points, and you're you're refocusingenergy to them while you're saying, like,
affirmations and talking through.
So, anyway, I did this with her and for aboutseven or eight minutes, and she skipped onto
(20:04):
the plane.
She said she's like, thank you so much.
I don't even know who you are.
I don't know how to repay you.
And I said, don't worry.
I said, just, she goes, this is the first timeI've flown without a Valium in twenty years.
And I was, like, well, God bless you.
You know?
Have a good day.
That's great.
And she we got on the plane, and my friend saidto me, what the hell was that?
Like, she said, what did you what are youdoing?
(20:26):
And I said, I don't know.
She was afraid to fly, and I was afraid I wasgonna have to sit next to her.
And I said, and I know how to help her, so whynot?
And that's when my friend was like, you havegot to take all of these gifts and all of these
things you've learned behind the scenes whennobody else knew you were even doing this stuff
and use it.
And that is what finally triggered me.
Like, okay.
I got this.
(20:47):
I can do this.
And that was what set the ball rolling.
Like, okay.
How can I do this?
Well, I can get on podcast, and I can starttalking to people, and I can do a course, and I
can start coaching and using some of thesegifts.
And and that's what started the momentum.
That's great.
That's great.
And then for no.
That's okay.
Yeah.
We had a little side stories in there too.
(21:07):
When it comes to that momentum and youmentioned that you started to create courses,
did you do anything formally or did you alreadyyou said you had a you had a background of
being a teacher as well, or did you alreadykinda know how to start building it?
So talk a little bit about when you finallymade the decision, that you wanted to help
people in this way and pivot completely awayfrom something that was comfortable and
(21:28):
lucrative.
But, you know, tell us about how you what youdid to learn what you what you already had or
what you were gonna be doing, or if you alreadyknew it, like, what what did you have to do to,
like, make sure you you, gave yourself enoughinformation to do what you needed to be doing
in the future?
Well, first, I thought I was gonna get it offfor free, and I was just gonna binge watch all
(21:49):
these free courses that you could take onbusiness this and business that and starting a
business and writing a course and all that.
And then I realized that you have to pick oneperson who you believe has the skill and the
knowledge, and you have to take everything theysay and listen to them.
That, you know, little those free courses aregreat.
(22:10):
Don't get me wrong, but it's a teaser.
It's saying, you know, it's it's the it's thewhat, but it's not the how of how to be
successful in whether it's doing an onlinecourse or social media, whatever it is.
So after about a year and a half of bingewatching all of those free courses, I did
actually sign up with a business coach, whogave me a structure, who gave me this is what
(22:34):
you need to do.
Everything else, let it go.
Let it go.
Right.
Yeah.
Oh, I love Frozen.
But, yeah.
And that's a that's a great point.
And and this is just too crazy how parallel weare.
Because when I started voice over business, oneof the first people I ever talked about voice
(22:58):
over told me, you need to have a coach.
Don't go into it with a name like Goodnight.
Don't go into voice over because that's verymemorable.
You know?
Like and that's not a stage name.
That's real.
You know?
And, like, like, there's only one KyleGoodnight spelled the way I do it, and there's
only one Kyle Goodnight without the k out therein the world.
And I met met him once, through Facebook.
(23:20):
But it was very, very obvious that getting thatcoach for that voice over, was needed, you
know, and helped me build it the right way.
And that's probably and I think you wouldagree.
I think that's probably one of the biggestthings that entrepreneurs do wrong when they're
trying to do their own coaching business ortheir own side business is they don't get a
(23:41):
mentor that that that is that is someone theyget advice, of course.
I mean, I've had tons of advice from people inthe past.
And and, you know, and when it comes tocoaching, that was one of the probably the
smartest advice that anybody ever gave to me.
So I dove deep into it.
I interviewed, like, 11 different coaches formy voice over business.
And then when I started my my, first responder,division of my my business, which is first
(24:05):
responder mental health support, I grabbed acoach to help me with things.
And then, of course, my podcasting businessnow, because so I I kinda wear three different
hats.
I do voice over very, very few and far betweennowadays, but the voice over experience has
allowed me to podcast.
The voice over experience allowed me tounderstand audio and my and helped me with
(24:25):
coaching other people that wanna do podcasting,what audio is and how to explain it to them and
how to address the microphone properly.
So so all of that stuff adds up.
And the coaches that I've had, the threedifferent coaches, my voice over coach and I've
had several different coaches inside of myvoice over business, but my main voice over
coach that I had when I first got it, you know,he told me he's like, you're gonna use voice
over, and you're gonna use it as a springboard.
(24:47):
And that's exactly what podcasting is.
It was that and I didn't know what it was atthat time.
I had no idea what he meant.
You know?
And and so coaches see things in us.
So talk a little bit about what maybe one ofthe things that your coach saw in you that gave
you support and gave you what you may not evenhave known that you needed yet, but then when
you look back on those those beginning days ofcoaching, you're like, oh my gosh.
(25:08):
That's what they mean.
I think the biggest thing was you have amessage and you don't even know what it is.
You need to tune in your message.
And because he kept saying, Tammy, your storyis incredible.
Your resilience is incredible.
Your gifts that you can share with other peopleare incredible, but you have to tune it in.
You have to figure out exactly where it is youwanna go with it because you're all over the
(25:33):
place.
Yeah.
And and that was really you know?
And he's like, get your message, fine tune yourmessage, and be able to say that message to
anybody anywhere you go the same way and haveit have the same effect on them.
Meaning.
Yep.
I think that was the biggest thing because Iwas all over the place.
(25:54):
And I still am a little bit, I'm a be honest,because I like to try different things.
I like to, you know, just like when I was
And that's okay.
When I had anxiety and really, like,debilitating anxiety and people were like, do
this, do this, do this, do this, do this.
And I I said, I'll do it all.
I'll throw every single piece of spaghetti atthe wall, and one of them is gonna stick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's funny.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
(26:14):
Sorry.
No.
I was gonna say, I think that's the naturalwhen you are an entrepreneur and you're
starting out.
You don't know it's gonna stick until somethingsticks.
That's why the coaches are so good because theyrein you in.
You know, we got the get the shiny objectsyndrome where we're all over the place, and
then every single offer you get and everysingle suggestion you get looks better than the
next.
(26:34):
But the
grass is not always greener, and it's kindalike picking a multilevel marketing company.
I said, I'm I'm decent at sales now.
So I could pick anyone.
Right.
And as long as I believe in the product, if Icommit 100% to that company, I could sell it.
Yeah.
And and it's the same concept.
Pick what you wanna do and focus on that.
(26:55):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
You know?
And and we've spoke a little bit about anxiety.
You've you've spoke about it.
You know?
Our our paths are very parallel.
I've mentioned that.
That kinda really plays into my sponsor, and itit plays into the entrepreneurial person.
You know?
And and, you know, when it comes to when itcomes to what entrepreneurs have to deal with,
(27:17):
especially making a life change like you and Iboth did to become an entrepreneur, you know,
to make that decision, to make that pivot,those are gonna be some pretty anxious times.
And, you know, being a first responder andhaving the knowledge and the unfortunate, you
know, traumas that I've seen and and and lossof life and, you know, life saving stuff.
You know, there's a lot of stuff in my lifethat that I didn't know was adding up in my
(27:40):
cup.
And I had a point in time where I was in themiddle of building my businesses.
I still had all of the stuff going on with thefirst responder stuff, and I met, my I met my
sponsor, Daniel Packard, who I'll I'll I'llplay a little video here in a minute, about
what he does and what he what he did.
(28:00):
But helping me control that part of it andrealize that it wasn't just the medical side of
me that was it that the the anxiety was comingfrom, that it was the life stuff and the new
business and the and the possible, you know,the possible failure of the business and and
what the and how to package that.
So it's very important, and that's why I havemy sponsor be a sponsor of both he's my sponsor
(28:22):
for my other podcast, which is First ResponderMental Health.
It's a perfect, you know, sponsor for that.
And it's a perfect sponsor for, you know,business podcasts like this, where people that
are listening to this may be going through atime where they feel anxious, they feel
overwhelmed, and his program could be apossible solution.
It's, you know, everything in the world, youknow, I've done multiple things.
(28:44):
I've done my own.
I did EMDR, you know, which is the differenttype of tapping and and different type of stuff
when it came to therapy.
But, you know and I know what your type of youknow, what you talk about with what what would
what did you call it?
E e t.
Sorry.
The tapping.
What what
is the
EFT.
EFT.
So many and, you know, ACLS and PALS and ITLSand all the different acronyms that I have in
(29:07):
my brain for medical.
It's like, I can't keep them all straight allthe time.
So yeah.
So, you know, having different tools, that'sone of the big things I talk about on my other
podcast, is not it's I don't go on a podcastand preach only one thing, or or to I bring
people in that may have alternate ways ofdealing with stuff.
So right now, we're gonna take a real quickpause for my sponsor, Daniel Packard, and,
(29:29):
you'll hear all about that here right now.
Let me ask you a question.
Would your life be better if whatever you'restruggling with, you could finally break free
of?
So what am I talking about?
The funky five.
What's the funky five you ask?
It's those oh, so familiar struggles.
Procrastination, people pleasing,perfectionism, low self confidence, and the one
(29:50):
I call the big a, anxiety.
For years, I struggled to manage my ownversion.
My column, my funky three.
I had three of these funky five weighing medown.
I've tried just about everything to deal withthem.
Then a guest on my podcast, Daniel Packard,shared with me a profound thought that I had
never thought of.
So Daniel, a UC Berkeley engineer, spent eightyears working with this team and over 3,000
(30:15):
people to create an approach that doesn't justhelp you manage these issues.
It actually frees you from them by gettingright to the root of what's holding you back.
So after meeting with Daniel, I decided to giveit a shot.
And within six short weeks, gone, truly gone.
I was so amazed.
The number one thing I was dealing with wasprocrastination, but miraculously, a deeper
(30:37):
rooted struggle with people pleasing, somethingI'd been unknowingly battling for a lifetime
lifted entirely.
And the anxiety that came with them both, goneas well.
Are you tired of battling any of your funkyfives?
People pleasing, procrastination,perfectionism, low self confidence, and the
biggest happy killer of them all, the a word,anxiety.
(31:00):
Imagine how much better life would be if youweren't just managing these things, but free of
them quickly, and yes, permanently.
If you're ready for a real solution, head todanielpacker.com and get his free ninety minute
training.
Daniel himself will walk you through what makeshis approach so different and teach you a
technique you can use immediately to startfeeling the difference.
(31:23):
So if any of the funky five or maybe your ownversion of the funky five are holding you back,
don't wait.
Visit danielpacker.com.
You can truly get results and start living thelife you want.
Okay.
And now we're back from, listening to whatDaniel Packard has to offer.
Please don't hesitate.
If you ever have any type of those those, youknow, those funky five that he talks about, I
(31:49):
had three of the funky fives.
So if you had any of those funky fives at all,reach out to him, have that conversation.
It was a life changing experience for myself.
And, and but, yeah, just reach out to Daniel ifyou have any of those funky five because he
definitely helped me and and look at my life ina different way, which supported my business
and supported my family as well.
(32:09):
So, now we're back with Tammy Vincent.
Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share.
Tammy's gonna talk a little bit more about hersystem and how you can get ahold of her.
I know that, you know, the last segment, wetalked about the pivot.
We talked about we talked about, momentum.
When I had my pivot, it was kind of my momentumat the same time within a thirty day period.
(32:30):
That's when I decided to start my podcast, wasmy pivot.
My podcast was the pivot I had to do to makesure that the other stuff that I was planning
on doing fell into the right place and becameand became a, you know, an authority in the
space.
So talk a little bit more when it comes to whatyour podcast does.
I know that you have a podcast, and I'm gonnabe on yours.
(32:51):
So talk about your podcast and where that fallsin line with what you're doing with your with
your, coaching business.
Okay.
So the name of the podcast is Adult Child ofDysfunction Driving After Chaos.
So it is literally all stories of resilience,hope, healing, people that went through bad
(33:12):
stuff, people that had a tough life, peoplethat you know, we all have stuff happen to us,
but some of us don't deal with it as well asothers, and some of us aren't given the tools.
So it's I have experts come on there.
I might have I mean, I do a a lot of differenttypes of guests.
I have I'm getting ready to have somebody comeon and teach you how to self hip do self
hypnosis so that you can hypnotize yourselfinto a better state of mind.
(33:37):
I have people come on that just talk abouttheir experiences and how they rose above and
how they came out stronger because that's whatI do.
I do a lot of mindset work with people.
I mean, when you grow up in the type ofdysfunction that a lot of us grew up in, you
have a couple underlying beliefs that followyou into adulthood whether you like it or not.
And those are you're not worthy, you're notgood enough, you you just you're just not
(34:00):
People pleasing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People pleasing perfectionism.
Yeah.
All those are all the funky five.
Anxiety.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's one of those things where someone watchingthis is gonna see all me talk about the funky
five, and now you're you're literally backingthat up without even knowing anything about
Daniel.
So
Well, that's funny.
Maybe you could sponsor my podcast too someday.
Exactly.
Exactly.
(34:20):
So yes.
And that's what I do.
So it leads into we might have a conversationabout people pleasing, and Mhmm.
That leads into them coming if they want toknow more.
I always leave it open.
If you want to know more, we can work on a oneon basis.
We can work, you know, in group coaching.
We can you can grab my course.
I have a course.
My signature course is called trials totriumph, and it goes through all of the
(34:44):
aspects.
It's like an eight week guided course that goesthrough all of the, you know, subconscious
versus conscious and everything that you needto know to rewire your brain from a a beginning
life of mishap.
Oh my gosh.
It's so it's crazy because it's the wiring,Like, literally, that's the huge message is
(35:06):
that we have to rewire rewire ourselves, andthat our, you know, our nervous system is a
huge part of our success.
And how do we do that?
And it's not just all about breath work or it'snot all about you know?
But, yes, there is fight or flight and cortisoland, you know, epinephrine and all that stuff
that we have to deal with that raises our heartrate, and breathing does bring it down.
(35:28):
And I've had I've had breathing I've had abreathing exercise a a breathing coach come on,
one of my podcasts early on, and she spokeabout the the the science behind it.
And it's real.
That is stuff that is not voodoo medicine.
So that's one nice thing I like about thedifferent types of of things that I've gone
through, whether it be personal or for becauseof my business or whatever whatever whatever
(35:51):
stressors that have have gotten into me, andhow to deal with it is that the when me being
medical and then hearing someone say you needto retrain your your nervous system.
And that set so well with me because I it's,like, no different than I've had shoulder
(36:11):
surgeries and knee surgeries.
I've had to have physical therapy.
That mental health side of me, one of the bigthings when I've heard a couple of people talk
in the in the health care and and firstresponder mental health arena, you know, they
talk about, you know, physical therapy of yourmuscles and bones.
There's no difference in physical therapy ofyour brain and nervous system.
(36:31):
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And that's what we do.
And we have I have a lot of experts come on,and I have and I do my own work too.
I mean, I do somatic work with people, and weMhmm.
We can learn to be aware and learn to ease sometension in a certain part of your body.
And, you know, I I use my stroke as an example.
Boy, if I didn't have the training I had, Iwould've I I would've freaked out when I had my
(36:55):
stroke.
So so, yeah, just to to back up why it took usso long to get ahold of one another, Tammy
suffered a stroke in the middle of after likelike, what, few weeks after we met?
You send me a we're trying to contact Ryan,trying to you're like, hey.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I haven't sorry.
I kinda I wasn't ghosting you or somethingalong those lines, but I had a stroke, and I'm
(37:15):
just now four or five days post stroke.
And I'm going into my my, you know, myfollow-up, and I'm like, wait a minute.
Time out.
I'm like, please focus on everything you first.
It's like, these podcasts are not thatimportant.
You know?
But I mean, unless they are.
I mean, someone out there having issues andwe're talking about some different things,
reach out to Tammy, reach out to me, reach outto Daniel, and find out what, you know, one of
(37:36):
these things that because I'm telling you,there is a happier life out there.
If you're dealing with any and and this wasn'tsupposed to turn into a therapy podcast or
anything like that, but it is a big part of ourour our entrepreneurial path is the the anxiety
that can come from it, the, you know, thefailures and how you approach that, you know,
(37:58):
falling forward, failing forward, you know,taking every time you've ever had a mistake
happen or something that didn't go your way andthen making if you're not in the right
headspace, how do you turn that to a positive?
And that's one of the biggest things that I cando now is, you know, my podcast was the I was
literally getting ready to give up my business.
(38:18):
And I've said, you know what?
One last ditch effort.
I know how to podcast.
I've helped people podcast before.
I've been a producer of podcasts.
Let me start my own podcast and get start like,let me pivot away from the way I was doing it
for my business.
And as soon as I started recording my podcast,and that was the first responder podcast and
then the the Ignition Path podcast came afterthat.
(38:39):
And that because of all of that, I metdifferent people.
I actually met most likely, you met the guythat really helped me pivot, which was Dave
Albon, who was Tony Robbins' firewalkingcaptain for twenty years.
So depending on when you did that, you may havehad Dave be the one at the very end that
grabbed you off.
He was the one that prepared all the fire.
(39:01):
So he prepares all of the the coals.
And there's a there's an art to it, and there'sa science to it.
And Tony only trusted one person for many,many, many, many years until that person was
able to, you know, share the knowledge.
But Dave Albin, he's gonna be on my podcast.
I'm actually helping him with his podcast whenhe launches it.
So because I met him through the process ofpodcasting, now I'm back helping him on a
(39:25):
podcast that helps first responders.
Nice.
And and and women and children of abuse.
Like, holy crap.
Look at this huge like, this, like, thiscircle.
Like, oh my gosh.
If I didn't pivot and embrace podcasting, Iwould have never met Dave.
I would have never known that he was trying tostart a podcast.
I would have never told him, hey.
Listen.
I'm a first responder and a podcast producer.
(39:47):
And he was like, wait a minute.
I've been trying to meet you.
I'm like, what do you mean?
He's like, I told somebody, and I he goes, Itold myself I will meet the right person who
understands the first responder role andunderstands podcasting because he didn't.
He's like, I don't know podcasting.
I know how to be a guest, but he's like, Idon't know how to produce my own podcast.
So I'll be doing that for him.
And and it just it's so funny that our pathshave kind of taken the same thing.
(40:11):
We've we've gone through the same struggles andcome out with the same positive attitude.
So real quick before we end, just make sure, sopeople, let's talk about your podcast one more
time, how we find your podcast, and, you know,and then we'll we probably won't I have a
feeling we're gonna be talking about somethingtotally different when I come on your podcast.
Like, we won't we won't probably talk aboutanything business.
(40:32):
You know, with with with what your podcast isabout, there's definitely parts of me that that
we may need to even have another pre call so Ican kinda open up a little bit more because
there are parts of that part of me that arevery helpful and very understanding and could
probably support someone that's listening tothat podcast to understand that, you know, hey.
Listen.
Here's somebody who, you know, is a successfulmedical person, who has multiple jobs and has a
(40:57):
family, and, you know, he had issues, and hecame through it.
Like, okay.
That's a positive message.
So, we'll talk about that at another time.
But, yeah, tell us more about your podcast, howyou find it, what platforms it's on, and then
anything else you wanna, talk about.
And after that, we'll wrap things up and and,call it a call it a podcast.
Well, sounds good.
Well, the name of it is adult child ofdysfunction, and you can find it really on any
(41:21):
Apple, Spotify, any of the major podcastplatforms.
YouTube?
Is it on YouTube?
I I'm putting them on there little by little.
So I think I have a 57 episodes and only 42 areon YouTube right now.
Okay.
But I'm Okay.
I'm getting there.
Getting it.
Yeah.
Well, YouTube's one of the biggest podcastingplatforms now because when you set it up the
right way, it's not only a video podcast, butthey also do the audio as well.
(41:43):
And it's actually the bigger it's actuallybigger than the other two now.
So that just that just happened.
Yeah.
And I need to I think I need to stop and pause.
Maybe I'll talk to you about that and set it upright because right now I'm just uploading
videos.
Like, it's Yeah.
You know?
I need to do it right, but a lot of people arelike, well, I wanna see it on YouTube.
I'm like, okay.
Let me throw it up there.
Yeah.
Well, it's yeah.
(42:03):
The it's and that's and that's what you wannamake sure that you do is when you do set it up.
And what like I said, that's a whole anotherconversation.
The reason why we podcast is is now we foundthe place where I need to help you, and I found
the place where you need to help me.
So There
you go.
Perfect.
Perfect.
So yes.
You can go on there, and that's reallyhonestly, if you can get to my podcast,
everything you need to know about me is onthere.
(42:23):
Because in my show notes, I have my I have aplace to book a chat.
I have if you wanna come on my podcast, I havea link so you can come on SpeakPipe and ask out
out loud, and I can answer you on the podcast,which is fun, which I wish more people would
take advantage of.
Yeah.
You have to tell me, like, I didn't know aboutthat.
That'd be cool to
Super cool.
Like, it's called SpeakPipe.
So you just go tospeakpipe.speakpipe.com/MaryVincentcoaching,
(42:48):
and you can manually talk ninety seconds.
You can ask a question, and then I canincorporate it into the podcast and answer it
online live.
Like a like a desynchronized question andanswer about your podcast.
So people may have to have a little bit ofknowledge about your podcast, but then they go
on that other one, ask a question that you wantthat they want answered on your podcast, and
(43:11):
you address that the next time you have apodcast that's in that area.
So I would probably yes.
I do guest, and I do solo episodes.
So if something comes in on SpeakPipe, I willprobably incorporate my solo episode around
that.
Or if or
if your guest is part of a SpeakPipe, you know,question, then yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
And because people Oh, yeah.
People like to hear their people some peoplelike to hear their voice on podcasts.
(43:33):
And Yeah.
You know, they'll share it with their friendsif they're like, hey.
Listen.
She answered my question on the podcast.
What's the what's the number one thing in theworld?
I mean, if any any good coach has always toldanybody, what's the number one thing that
people wanna hear the the most?
Themselves.
Their own name.
Their
own name.
Right?
They wanna hear their own name.
Whether they whether they get embarrassed ornot, they it gives them validation.
(43:54):
You know?
So Mhmm.
Absolutely.
That's funny.
So, anyway, so that's the easiest place toreach me because all of my links are there.
And, of course, we'll have them all in our shownotes as well.
You know?
That'll a a link to her podcast, a link to herpages, all that stuff will be in our show
notes.
She'll send me an email afterwards with allthat stuff in it so you can find it in in here
or, on her podcast.
So, Tammy, thank you so much for coming on theIgnition Path podcast.
(44:17):
I know it sounds like you and I could just wecould talk shop for hours.
I know it.
So, some of the shared experiences, some of thesome of the struggles we've both shared, you
know, it it's, it's kinda it's kind of one ofthose things where when you meet the right
people, you realize it, and you just instantlycome comfortable with them and, and know that
you're gonna be around them and and have have arelationship with them, you know, you know,
(44:40):
from from this point forward.
And there's people already that I wannaintroduce you to, that you know, and I'm sure
there's people that you wanna introduce to me.
So, that's another big thing of why we podcastis I know several nuggets now that I didn't
know prior to even with our conversations priorto this, this podcast has actually given me
more people to connect with Tammy to, to, one,support her and help her if or help her clients
(45:04):
that that may that may need the help.
And and I know that's reciprocal becausebecause they're you know, once again, Lauren
would have never introduced us if she didn'tthink that we were, some way connected and we
and we are.
That's for sure after this recording.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
More now than ever, I did had no idea.
So this is amazing.
Yeah.
Exactly.

Remember, Ignition Path is that path toentrepreneurship.
So maybe what you did prior to becoming anentrepreneur, like, explain what if that was if
you were always a entrepreneur, that's finetoo.
But if you if you worked corporate or were anurse or anything like that prior to becoming
an entrepreneur, talk about what you did priorand then the path a little bit about the path
(02:15):
about how you got to where you're at right now.
K.
Well, I've done a bunch of different things.
One of them was teaching children, and I'vealways had the entrepreneurial spirit, if that
makes sense.
So even though I was in a job, I could be in anine to five, I could be a manager at a gas
station, didn't matter what I was doing.
I was always having that side gig that was beyour own boss, do your own thing, have your own
(02:38):
stuff, like, never really embraced the wholecorporate world.
I did have a job that I started going door todoor for sales, and I was like, okay.
This is no fun unless I own this company.
Like, this is not gonna be fun unless I own it.
So, that was back in '14, I believe.
It was a a window and siding company.
(02:59):
So I did that for a little bit.
I started going door to door, and I said, well,what are my, you know, what is my trajectory?
Like, what is my path?
What is my destiny here?
Because it needs to be bigger than door todoor.
And they said, well, if you work really hard,you can have your own franchise.
And I said, okay.
That's kinda like being an entrepreneur.
Right?
Yes.
Right.
So I did it, and I went door to door, and Iended up opening three cities.
(03:22):
So I ended up getting three of my ownfranchises, Denver, Seattle, and Salt Lake
City.
Okay.
And had a really good time, but we were alldoor to door.
All our salespeople were door to door, and itwas I just always even though I was working for
myself, it was like I'm working for myself, butI'm still not doing something I absolutely
(03:43):
love.
So, I mean, by the grace of God, I don't wannasay yes.
It's a good thing that I lost it because ofCOVID, but I had 17 or 19 salesmen all on the
ground doing door to door sales when that hit.
And, obviously, that form of marketing was nolonger acceptable.
So, I will yeah.
(04:04):
So I went from it it was a tough one.
I went from 2, $22,200,000.0 in 02/2019 to400,000 in 02/2020.
Yeah.
That's a big hit.
So it big hit.
So you kinda remember I told you before westarted recording, I'm like, well, I won't talk
(04:24):
too much unless you open up a can of worms.
So here's something very funny that you did notknow, and I didn't know about you.
But I was I put I installed siding and doorswith and windows with my father from the time
that I was old enough to swing a hammer,essentially, and all the way through college.
I helped put myself through college by puttingin windows and doors with my dad.
So I'm very familiar with that industry to thepoint where I actually even was a sales rep for
(04:49):
one of the local, well, I should say the localto Ohio.
I think they started in Cincinnati, ChampionWindows.
A little shout out to Champion.
They were great back in the day when when I waswith them.
I'm not sure what they are now, but, they hadgood people back then, and I'm sure they got
good people now.
But we had a great window.
I knew exactly how they wanted to hire me as aninstaller, but I when they when I had that
(05:11):
interview, they're like, wow.
You you do really good in sales.
You're very personable, and you understand theconcept.
You understand how the windows go in.
Like, we like, none of our sales reps have theexperience that you do of, like, installing the
windows.
So I was like, okay.
I'm I'm down with a a sales position.
I know that makes more money, essentially, forthe most part, you know, to become a sales rep,
but you are boots on the ground and you're andyou're you're you're subject to the cycle.
(05:35):
And when I was doing that, I took a pause frommy health care division.
I stopped working at the hospital because I wasgetting denied sales rep jobs in the medical
industry because I didn't have sales experienceon my resume.
And I'm like, when I convince a doctor that Ineed to do a certain thing for a patient, that
they're you know, that's a sales position.
(05:56):
They're like, I sell every day to make sure,you know, my patients are are are taken care of
on on the level that I take care of them on forrespiratory therapy.
And they're like, nope.
Nope.
You have to have actual sales sales,experience.
So I went out and looked at different salesjobs, and I was like, well, I know windows and
doors.
That'd be, I wouldn't say easy for me to do,but it'd be the transition to sell those things
(06:16):
would be understandable to me and my brain.
And so I did that.
Well, that pause of the health care industryand me working for that medical sales was you
had a catastrophic event that ended your timein that.
My catastrophic event was 09:11.
So 09:11, that morning of, I'm in the we'redoing our debriefing and someone runs into the
(06:40):
debriefing and and our our day beforedebriefing, and we always talked about what we
sold the day before, yada yada, what our whatour stuff is in our meetings.
Somebody runs in.
There's a a a plane that that just hit the thetower.
And we're like, what?
And so we got up to watch and then livewatching it in one of the other rooms, we saw
the second plane hit.
And me being medical and have a strong medicalclinical background, I'm like, I gotta go.
(07:03):
I told my boss, Larry, Larry Coon.
Shout out to Larry Coon.
Still have contacts with him on on Facebook.
So shout out to Larry if he's watching this,but, he did one of the he said one of the
smartest things ever to me.
He's like, Kyle and I had a I had a baby on theway.
My son was born October 29.
Nine '11 was, of course, September 11.
And so just a little over a month away fromhaving our baby, and he stopped me in my tracks
(07:28):
and said, don't you dare drive to New York.
Because I was like, I know how I'm medical.
I've gotta drive to New York.
I need to save people.
I'm not attached to a hospital, but I know whatto do.
And he's like, don't do it.
We don't know what's going on up there.
We don't know how widespread this is.
And this is before you know, this is I think weeven knew that the Pentagon happened, but we
didn't know that that pits that Pennsylvaniahappened yet.
(07:49):
And he'd, like, spun me around and and and, youknow, I I really liked Larry.
He was very, father figure to me, early on inmy career with them, and he's like, go home, be
with your baby, be your new you know, your soonto be baby and your wife.
We don't know what's happening.
Protect them at all cost.
And I'm like, oh, shit.
You're right.
You know?
So it was one of those things where I was inthe middle of doing exactly what you're doing,
(08:12):
medical or, you know, sales in in windows anddoors.
I enjoyed the industry.
It was I didn't have my I I was able to run myown area, and and I started getting to the
point where I had my own stuff kinda like I wasan entrepreneur, but I still worked for for
Champion, of course.
So you actually had a company that you were youwere a division.
So you were a franchise.
(08:32):
So that is entrepreneurial.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
As a matter of fact, Champion was our biggestcompetitor in Cincinnati because that's where I
started in Cincinnati.
I started that's where the office was.
But, yeah.
And so it was.
I got to do it served every purpose it neededto serve.
My daughter was my partner, so we got totravel.
(08:53):
We got to do we you know, I don't wanna saywhat we wanted, but we got to live a great
lifestyle and
Sure.
And it it has served its purpose.
I became very good at sales, which if you're aparent, you're good at sales.
I don't care what they say.
So that should be you should be able to putparenting on your sales resume anytime that
you're a parent.
Right?
(09:13):
If you're a parent, you're selling somethingevery single
day.
Heck yeah.
No matter what they say.
That is so true.
Yeah.
But when, you know, when it was over and I waslike, okay.
Am I really in love with windows and siding?
And I was like, no.
I'm not.
So I'm in love with helping people combat thechildhood that I grew up in, and that's where I
(09:35):
turned all of my energy.
So I I had been a certified life coach foryears just because it was something that
interested me, but I didn't really see anybodyusing it back then.
So I just turned all my efforts to there.
I I wrote a couple books on the topic.
I began, you know, just reaching out to schoolsand just talking to whoever would listen.
And so that's what I do now.
(09:56):
So that's still again, I'm I cannot even fathomputting myself in a cubicle nine to five on
somebody else's watch and dime.
Just not gonna not gonna happen.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And and, you know, I'm still I'm I'm stillmedical.
I'm still clinical, but it's a little differentbecause, you know, being a paramedic now.
Back then, I was a respiratory therapist andworked in hospitals, and that is twelve hours a
(10:20):
day, three days a week, you know, blah blahblah.
Whereas a paramedic, you are every third day,and you have you know, when you're off when
you're not being a paramedic, you have daysoff, and that's when I created a couple of
different businesses, you know, handyman, youknow, my voice over business, and now my my
podcasting business and my podcast productionbusiness.
So, yeah, it's one of those things where I'vealways kind of been I got it honestly.
(10:44):
You know, my dad was an entrepreneur.
I saw him have his own business in Handyman.
I saw him have his own territory as a sales repthat he got to and deal with the whole entire
region on a very small company.
So he was still an entrepreneur.
Even when I was in medical sales, yes, I workedfor a company, but my was I was able to operate
my territory as as I saw fit.
(11:06):
So this is very entrepreneurial even thoughthere was somebody somebody else, you know,
that was dealing with stuff or, you know, theend end result with someone else.
So tell me more about the life coaching and,and when you know, you you you sprinkled a
little bit about that you had had someexperience in that, but why what was one of the
you know, on Ignition Path podcast, we talkabout the path that we come through it.
(11:27):
So as you came through that path, you know,COVID kinda forced us all to do weird different
things.
Right?
To do things to pivot.
I people have heard me talk about differentpivots and whatnot, and pivot into different
directions.
So as in your what was one of the hardestthings you had to do during that pivot that
that, you know, that provided for your family?
(11:49):
Like like, how long did it take you to makethat pivot where you could start?
I mean, I I know how much money you can make atselling windows and doors.
Yeah.
So I'm very familiar with with the the thelucrative division that that is.
So when it comes to that pivot and what whatyou ended up, you know, going into, where where
did that, you know, where did that sit on youwhen it came to doing it?
(12:12):
Well, that was part was a struggle justbecause, like I said, my business literally, I
mean, went dropped 90% in three months.
Like, it was bam.
It was going from 2,200,000.0 to 400,000, andit's hard to come back from that.
But, you know, at that point, it was kind of itwas almost like I didn't really have to pivot
into that loss of income because I didn'ttransition voluntarily, if you could say that.
(12:39):
So it was I had none.
Like, so had I stayed at my other job, well,job I say, but meaning my business, I would
have had none.
So it was very easy to kinda say, okay.
Well, something is better than nothing.
But I honestly shifted my mind into a it's notso much the the income as it's the flexibility,
it's the lifestyle, and it's the the freedom,and it's doing what you love.
(13:04):
And I say that if you're even if you're anentrepreneur, if you're not doing what you
love, you might as well not because you Yeah.
You really you know, I mean, like, you're inthe medical.
You're in medical.
Obviously, you love being I mean, we've talkedabout it on the phone.
You you light up.
It lights you up to save people and to helppeople and to have those skills and to be able
to use them.
(13:25):
So you're gonna do something with thatproductive.
But I was I was just not loving what I wasdoing.
So to me, I pivoted into more of a, okay, we'regonna do this and we're gonna take it and run
and kinda just see where it goes, see where ittakes me.
And it's, you know, it's been probably, I wannasay, about two year and a half that I've
actually been doing it now, and I'm just nowreally starting to get my feet on the ground
(13:48):
and really start making some forward momentum.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
And that's the you know, that's another thingwhen it comes to, when it comes to being an
entrepreneur.
You know?
It's the momentum.
And, you know, I'm not sure how much you dealwith or how if you've ever done any of the self
help stuff from Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi.
(14:09):
They spend a lot of time on momentum.
You know, that's something that they really,really beat the drum on.
And to get once you have a win, you have topiggyback on that win and and go to the next
thing.
So talk a little bit about momentum and whatwhat was it that gave you your first piece of
momentum per se?
(14:30):
Honestly, I think it was when I was in theairport with my friend, and literally, it was,
like, my first major moment because I had gonethrough okay.
So I went little backstory.
Both my parents are alcoholics.
I had gone through a tremendous amount of everykind of abuse and neglect that you can think
of.
And so I went into adulthood with a lot ofmindset shifting that needed to be done as far
(14:55):
as money and as far as relationships, as far aseverything.
So in this thirty years, literally, that I wasspending with with, like, the Tony Robbins kind
of people.
I remember walking on fire at his convention.
Did you
do that?
Do some of this.
I'm alright, Greg.
Yeah.
I did the convention, but it was the it was allvirtual still be or it was virtual then.
There was no there was no in person when I didit, but I I still want that's one of my life
(15:18):
goals is to get one of his true conventions.
So
Oh, life changing.
It was Yeah.
It was fun.
I got to walk on the Kohl's and all that stuffwith, like, 10,000 other people, 20,000 other
people.
But, but it wasn't it it was just new I had tolike, I shifted that way.
So I had all these tools.
So I went through, you know, I went throughhypnotherapy myself.
(15:40):
I went through therapy.
I did EFT tapping and learned all theseholistic methods to calm my own nervous system.
And
There's so many things that we have in common.
It's crazy now that I'm like, we never talkedabout any of this stuff.
Really?
There's so many things that I've done in mypast and and things that, you know, alcoholic
father now, mind you, he was done being analcoholic before I was born.
(16:01):
I'm the last of four.
Yep.
I know.
I know.
I'm I'm the biggest I'm the mistake of thefamily, but, you know, eight years eight years
later than my closest sibling.
So oops.
You know?
But, hey.
Mom always said that, you know, I was her bestoops.
So
Aw.
That's I guess that's a good compliment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would.
Yeah.
Mom lost it.
Mistake, you might as well be it.
Yeah.
(16:21):
Exactly.
So I I I've got a whole another story aboutthat and and ended up meeting people many years
later after my my mom passed away and thengetting and connected with people that I never
knew were her friend.
I never knew them, but they knew my mom when Iwas born.
And they reached out to me after my mom passedaway in February and started telling me some
stories about the time frame around when I wasborn.
(16:43):
And it was it was very moving.
It was very you know, she had never told methese things.
She had never shared that stuff that she hadtalked to other people about about me and and
the stress of having a new baby eight yearsafter the last sibling, you know, and all that.
So it's you know, when it comes to, you know,the things that you and I have in common now
that we're getting to know each other better,it's it's no wonder how that you know, there's
(17:07):
just certain people you connect with.
And and you're one of those type of people thathearing your story, hearing your background of
all the different things, not just being anentrepreneur, but your previous businesses and
that kind of stuff, and then your family stuff,it it's it's not surprising to me that I've met
you and that we were put in in the path of ofone another in our in our entrepreneurial, you
(17:28):
know, you know
Yeah.
I'm flow.
I'm I'm definitely starting to see that.
When we met on Lauren Lauren, the the firstthing she said the day after she met you is,
Tammy, you gotta meet this guy, Kyle.
Like And she said, Kyle, you gotta meet Tammy.
Like, you were the first person in that group.
She's like, you gotta meet her.
And we did.
We we introduced each other very quickly, butthen it took us two months, three months to
actually
(17:48):
Couple small little things.
You know?
Little things.
But we brought it we don't really let it rolloff our shoulders.
Yep.
That's funny.
So momentum.
Sorry.
Back to momentum.
Sorry.
Back to momentum.
Yeah.
We're lagging on the momentum.
Like, we can we can almost have, like, atherapy session here between the two of us.
No?
Right?
But so after, like, thirty years of doing allthis stuff to really overcome all this stuff
(18:13):
and kind of just step out as me, I guess, ifyou could say the best way to put it.
And, I mean, I knew I was an entrepreneurbecause maybe it was because of I didn't like
authority, and I didn't like to work for otherpeople, and I didn't like to be told what to do
because I'd been controlled my whole life.
So maybe that's why I had that.
Part of that might have been why I wanted to domy own thing.
But I was at the airport one day, and this isreally before my co I really started the
(18:37):
coaching.
I had a certificate and everything, but I wasin Vegas with a friend, and we were going to a
business workshop.
And it was about they were all in entrepreneursthat I was going with.
I met Jack Canfield that day and just somereally cool people.
And we're on the way on the business on theworkshop and I'm at the airport and I was doing
EFT tapping with a lady.
(18:58):
And I'd never met her.
She was sitting next to me and she was clearlyafraid to fly.
Her knee was going up and down.
She looks like she was getting ready to have ananxiety attack.
And I said, hey.
You don't know me.
My name is Tammy.
You know, are you afraid to fly?
And she said yes.
And I said, can you give me seven minutes ofyour life?
And she said, I don't know.
I said, just follow along with me.
(19:19):
If it doesn't work, we have nothing to lose,but let's just try this.
So we tapped out EFT tapping.
For those of you that don't know what it is,it's
That was my next quick once you got done, I waslike, make sure we talk about what what what it
is.
Yep.
I'll explain it a little bit brief you know,briefly.
It's Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Called emotional freedom technique, and what itis is it's literally tapping on the meridian
(19:39):
points of your body.
They're, like, on your head, right here, righthere, on your chin.
And it's literally, like, just the easiest,quickest way to say it is just you've got these
meridian points, and you're you're refocusingenergy to them while you're saying, like,
affirmations and talking through.
So, anyway, I did this with her and for aboutseven or eight minutes, and she skipped onto
(20:04):
the plane.
She said she's like, thank you so much.
I don't even know who you are.
I don't know how to repay you.
And I said, don't worry.
I said, just, she goes, this is the first timeI've flown without a Valium in twenty years.
And I was, like, well, God bless you.
You know?
Have a good day.
That's great.
And she we got on the plane, and my friend saidto me, what the hell was that?
Like, she said, what did you what are youdoing?
(20:26):
And I said, I don't know.
She was afraid to fly, and I was afraid I wasgonna have to sit next to her.
And I said, and I know how to help her, so whynot?
And that's when my friend was like, you havegot to take all of these gifts and all of these
things you've learned behind the scenes whennobody else knew you were even doing this stuff
and use it.
And that is what finally triggered me.
Like, okay.
I got this.
(20:47):
I can do this.
And that was what set the ball rolling.
Like, okay.
How can I do this?
Well, I can get on podcast, and I can starttalking to people, and I can do a course, and I
can start coaching and using some of thesegifts.
And and that's what started the momentum.
That's great.
That's great.
And then for no.
That's okay.
Yeah.
We had a little side stories in there too.
(21:07):
When it comes to that momentum and youmentioned that you started to create courses,
did you do anything formally or did you alreadyyou said you had a you had a background of
being a teacher as well, or did you alreadykinda know how to start building it?
So talk a little bit about when you finallymade the decision, that you wanted to help
people in this way and pivot completely awayfrom something that was comfortable and
(21:28):
lucrative.
But, you know, tell us about how you what youdid to learn what you what you already had or
what you were gonna be doing, or if you alreadyknew it, like, what what did you have to do to,
like, make sure you you, gave yourself enoughinformation to do what you needed to be doing
in the future?
Well, first, I thought I was gonna get it offfor free, and I was just gonna binge watch all
(21:49):
these free courses that you could take onbusiness this and business that and starting a
business and writing a course and all that.
And then I realized that you have to pick oneperson who you believe has the skill and the
knowledge, and you have to take everything theysay and listen to them.
That, you know, little those free courses aregreat.
(22:10):
Don't get me wrong, but it's a teaser.
It's saying, you know, it's it's the it's thewhat, but it's not the how of how to be
successful in whether it's doing an onlinecourse or social media, whatever it is.
So after about a year and a half of bingewatching all of those free courses, I did
actually sign up with a business coach, whogave me a structure, who gave me this is what
(22:34):
you need to do.
Everything else, let it go.
Let it go.
Right.
Yeah.
Oh, I love Frozen.
But, yeah.
And that's a that's a great point.
And and this is just too crazy how parallel weare.
Because when I started voice over business, oneof the first people I ever talked about voice
(22:58):
over told me, you need to have a coach.
Don't go into it with a name like Goodnight.
Don't go into voice over because that's verymemorable.
You know?
Like and that's not a stage name.
That's real.
You know?
And, like, like, there's only one KyleGoodnight spelled the way I do it, and there's
only one Kyle Goodnight without the k out therein the world.
And I met met him once, through Facebook.
(23:20):
But it was very, very obvious that getting thatcoach for that voice over, was needed, you
know, and helped me build it the right way.
And that's probably and I think you wouldagree.
I think that's probably one of the biggestthings that entrepreneurs do wrong when they're
trying to do their own coaching business ortheir own side business is they don't get a
(23:41):
mentor that that that is that is someone theyget advice, of course.
I mean, I've had tons of advice from people inthe past.
And and, you know, and when it comes tocoaching, that was one of the probably the
smartest advice that anybody ever gave to me.
So I dove deep into it.
I interviewed, like, 11 different coaches formy voice over business.
And then when I started my my, first responder,division of my my business, which is first
(24:05):
responder mental health support, I grabbed acoach to help me with things.
And then, of course, my podcasting businessnow, because so I I kinda wear three different
hats.
I do voice over very, very few and far betweennowadays, but the voice over experience has
allowed me to podcast.
The voice over experience allowed me tounderstand audio and my and helped me with
(24:25):
coaching other people that wanna do podcasting,what audio is and how to explain it to them and
how to address the microphone properly.
So so all of that stuff adds up.
And the coaches that I've had, the threedifferent coaches, my voice over coach and I've
had several different coaches inside of myvoice over business, but my main voice over
coach that I had when I first got it, you know,he told me he's like, you're gonna use voice
over, and you're gonna use it as a springboard.
(24:47):
And that's exactly what podcasting is.
It was that and I didn't know what it was atthat time.
I had no idea what he meant.
You know?
And and so coaches see things in us.
So talk a little bit about what maybe one ofthe things that your coach saw in you that gave
you support and gave you what you may not evenhave known that you needed yet, but then when
you look back on those those beginning days ofcoaching, you're like, oh my gosh.
(25:08):
That's what they mean.
I think the biggest thing was you have amessage and you don't even know what it is.
You need to tune in your message.
And because he kept saying, Tammy, your storyis incredible.
Your resilience is incredible.
Your gifts that you can share with other peopleare incredible, but you have to tune it in.
You have to figure out exactly where it is youwanna go with it because you're all over the
(25:33):
place.
Yeah.
And and that was really you know?
And he's like, get your message, fine tune yourmessage, and be able to say that message to
anybody anywhere you go the same way and haveit have the same effect on them.
Meaning.
Yep.
I think that was the biggest thing because Iwas all over the place.
(25:54):
And I still am a little bit, I'm a be honest,because I like to try different things.
I like to, you know, just like when I was
And that's okay.
When I had anxiety and really, like,debilitating anxiety and people were like, do
this, do this, do this, do this, do this.
And I I said, I'll do it all.
I'll throw every single piece of spaghetti atthe wall, and one of them is gonna stick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's funny.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
(26:14):
Sorry.
No.
I was gonna say, I think that's the naturalwhen you are an entrepreneur and you're
starting out.
You don't know it's gonna stick until somethingsticks.
That's why the coaches are so good because theyrein you in.
You know, we got the get the shiny objectsyndrome where we're all over the place, and
then every single offer you get and everysingle suggestion you get looks better than the
next.
(26:34):
But the
grass is not always greener, and it's kindalike picking a multilevel marketing company.
I said, I'm I'm decent at sales now.
So I could pick anyone.
Right.
And as long as I believe in the product, if Icommit 100% to that company, I could sell it.
Yeah.
And and it's the same concept.
Pick what you wanna do and focus on that.
(26:55):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
You know?
And and we've spoke a little bit about anxiety.
You've you've spoke about it.
You know?
Our our paths are very parallel.
I've mentioned that.
That kinda really plays into my sponsor, and itit plays into the entrepreneurial person.
You know?
And and, you know, when it comes to when itcomes to what entrepreneurs have to deal with,
(27:17):
especially making a life change like you and Iboth did to become an entrepreneur, you know,
to make that decision, to make that pivot,those are gonna be some pretty anxious times.
And, you know, being a first responder andhaving the knowledge and the unfortunate, you
know, traumas that I've seen and and and lossof life and, you know, life saving stuff.
You know, there's a lot of stuff in my lifethat that I didn't know was adding up in my
(27:40):
cup.
And I had a point in time where I was in themiddle of building my businesses.
I still had all of the stuff going on with thefirst responder stuff, and I met, my I met my
sponsor, Daniel Packard, who I'll I'll I'llplay a little video here in a minute, about
what he does and what he what he did.
(28:00):
But helping me control that part of it andrealize that it wasn't just the medical side of
me that was it that the the anxiety was comingfrom, that it was the life stuff and the new
business and the and the possible, you know,the possible failure of the business and and
what the and how to package that.
So it's very important, and that's why I havemy sponsor be a sponsor of both he's my sponsor
(28:22):
for my other podcast, which is First ResponderMental Health.
It's a perfect, you know, sponsor for that.
And it's a perfect sponsor for, you know,business podcasts like this, where people that
are listening to this may be going through atime where they feel anxious, they feel
overwhelmed, and his program could be apossible solution.
It's, you know, everything in the world, youknow, I've done multiple things.
(28:44):
I've done my own.
I did EMDR, you know, which is the differenttype of tapping and and different type of stuff
when it came to therapy.
But, you know and I know what your type of youknow, what you talk about with what what would
what did you call it?
E e t.
Sorry.
The tapping.
What what
is the
EFT.
EFT.
So many and, you know, ACLS and PALS and ITLSand all the different acronyms that I have in
(29:07):
my brain for medical.
It's like, I can't keep them all straight allthe time.
So yeah.
So, you know, having different tools, that'sone of the big things I talk about on my other
podcast, is not it's I don't go on a podcastand preach only one thing, or or to I bring
people in that may have alternate ways ofdealing with stuff.
So right now, we're gonna take a real quickpause for my sponsor, Daniel Packard, and,
(29:29):
you'll hear all about that here right now.
Let me ask you a question.
Would your life be better if whatever you'restruggling with, you could finally break free
of?
So what am I talking about?
The funky five.
What's the funky five you ask?
It's those oh, so familiar struggles.
Procrastination, people pleasing,perfectionism, low self confidence, and the one
(29:50):
I call the big a, anxiety.
For years, I struggled to manage my ownversion.
My column, my funky three.
I had three of these funky five weighing medown.
I've tried just about everything to deal withthem.
Then a guest on my podcast, Daniel Packard,shared with me a profound thought that I had
never thought of.
So Daniel, a UC Berkeley engineer, spent eightyears working with this team and over 3,000
(30:15):
people to create an approach that doesn't justhelp you manage these issues.
It actually frees you from them by gettingright to the root of what's holding you back.
So after meeting with Daniel, I decided to giveit a shot.
And within six short weeks, gone, truly gone.
I was so amazed.
The number one thing I was dealing with wasprocrastination, but miraculously, a deeper
(30:37):
rooted struggle with people pleasing, somethingI'd been unknowingly battling for a lifetime
lifted entirely.
And the anxiety that came with them both, goneas well.
Are you tired of battling any of your funkyfives?
People pleasing, procrastination,perfectionism, low self confidence, and the
biggest happy killer of them all, the a word,anxiety.
(31:00):
Imagine how much better life would be if youweren't just managing these things, but free of
them quickly, and yes, permanently.
If you're ready for a real solution, head todanielpacker.com and get his free ninety minute
training.
Daniel himself will walk you through what makeshis approach so different and teach you a
technique you can use immediately to startfeeling the difference.
(31:23):
So if any of the funky five or maybe your ownversion of the funky five are holding you back,
don't wait.
Visit danielpacker.com.
You can truly get results and start living thelife you want.
Okay.
And now we're back from, listening to whatDaniel Packard has to offer.
Please don't hesitate.
If you ever have any type of those those, youknow, those funky five that he talks about, I
(31:49):
had three of the funky fives.
So if you had any of those funky fives at all,reach out to him, have that conversation.
It was a life changing experience for myself.
And, and but, yeah, just reach out to Daniel ifyou have any of those funky five because he
definitely helped me and and look at my life ina different way, which supported my business
and supported my family as well.
(32:09):
So, now we're back with Tammy Vincent.
Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share.
Tammy's gonna talk a little bit more about hersystem and how you can get ahold of her.
I know that, you know, the last segment, wetalked about the pivot.
We talked about we talked about, momentum.
When I had my pivot, it was kind of my momentumat the same time within a thirty day period.
(32:30):
That's when I decided to start my podcast, wasmy pivot.
My podcast was the pivot I had to do to makesure that the other stuff that I was planning
on doing fell into the right place and becameand became a, you know, an authority in the
space.
So talk a little bit more when it comes to whatyour podcast does.
I know that you have a podcast, and I'm gonnabe on yours.
(32:51):
So talk about your podcast and where that fallsin line with what you're doing with your with
your, coaching business.
Okay.
So the name of the podcast is Adult Child ofDysfunction Driving After Chaos.
So it is literally all stories of resilience,hope, healing, people that went through bad
(33:12):
stuff, people that had a tough life, peoplethat you know, we all have stuff happen to us,
but some of us don't deal with it as well asothers, and some of us aren't given the tools.
So it's I have experts come on there.
I might have I mean, I do a a lot of differenttypes of guests.
I have I'm getting ready to have somebody comeon and teach you how to self hip do self
hypnosis so that you can hypnotize yourselfinto a better state of mind.
(33:37):
I have people come on that just talk abouttheir experiences and how they rose above and
how they came out stronger because that's whatI do.
I do a lot of mindset work with people.
I mean, when you grow up in the type ofdysfunction that a lot of us grew up in, you
have a couple underlying beliefs that followyou into adulthood whether you like it or not.
And those are you're not worthy, you're notgood enough, you you just you're just not
(34:00):
People pleasing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People pleasing perfectionism.
Yeah.
All those are all the funky five.
Anxiety.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's one of those things where someone watchingthis is gonna see all me talk about the funky
five, and now you're you're literally backingthat up without even knowing anything about
Daniel.
So
Well, that's funny.
Maybe you could sponsor my podcast too someday.
Exactly.
Exactly.
(34:20):
So yes.
And that's what I do.
So it leads into we might have a conversationabout people pleasing, and Mhmm.
That leads into them coming if they want toknow more.
I always leave it open.
If you want to know more, we can work on a oneon basis.
We can work, you know, in group coaching.
We can you can grab my course.
I have a course.
My signature course is called trials totriumph, and it goes through all of the
(34:44):
aspects.
It's like an eight week guided course that goesthrough all of the, you know, subconscious
versus conscious and everything that you needto know to rewire your brain from a a beginning
life of mishap.
Oh my gosh.
It's so it's crazy because it's the wiring,Like, literally, that's the huge message is
(35:06):
that we have to rewire rewire ourselves, andthat our, you know, our nervous system is a
huge part of our success.
And how do we do that?
And it's not just all about breath work or it'snot all about you know?
But, yes, there is fight or flight and cortisoland, you know, epinephrine and all that stuff
that we have to deal with that raises our heartrate, and breathing does bring it down.
(35:28):
And I've had I've had breathing I've had abreathing exercise a a breathing coach come on,
one of my podcasts early on, and she spokeabout the the the science behind it.
And it's real.
That is stuff that is not voodoo medicine.
So that's one nice thing I like about thedifferent types of of things that I've gone
through, whether it be personal or for becauseof my business or whatever whatever whatever
(35:51):
stressors that have have gotten into me, andhow to deal with it is that the when me being
medical and then hearing someone say you needto retrain your your nervous system.
And that set so well with me because I it's,like, no different than I've had shoulder
(36:11):
surgeries and knee surgeries.
I've had to have physical therapy.
That mental health side of me, one of the bigthings when I've heard a couple of people talk
in the in the health care and and firstresponder mental health arena, you know, they
talk about, you know, physical therapy of yourmuscles and bones.
There's no difference in physical therapy ofyour brain and nervous system.
(36:31):
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And that's what we do.
And we have I have a lot of experts come on,and I have and I do my own work too.
I mean, I do somatic work with people, and weMhmm.
We can learn to be aware and learn to ease sometension in a certain part of your body.
And, you know, I I use my stroke as an example.
Boy, if I didn't have the training I had, Iwould've I I would've freaked out when I had my
(36:55):
stroke.
So so, yeah, just to to back up why it took usso long to get ahold of one another, Tammy
suffered a stroke in the middle of after likelike, what, few weeks after we met?
You send me a we're trying to contact Ryan,trying to you're like, hey.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I haven't sorry.
I kinda I wasn't ghosting you or somethingalong those lines, but I had a stroke, and I'm
(37:15):
just now four or five days post stroke.
And I'm going into my my, you know, myfollow-up, and I'm like, wait a minute.
Time out.
I'm like, please focus on everything you first.
It's like, these podcasts are not thatimportant.
You know?
But I mean, unless they are.
I mean, someone out there having issues andwe're talking about some different things,
reach out to Tammy, reach out to me, reach outto Daniel, and find out what, you know, one of
(37:36):
these things that because I'm telling you,there is a happier life out there.
If you're dealing with any and and this wasn'tsupposed to turn into a therapy podcast or
anything like that, but it is a big part of ourour our entrepreneurial path is the the anxiety
that can come from it, the, you know, thefailures and how you approach that, you know,
(37:58):
falling forward, failing forward, you know,taking every time you've ever had a mistake
happen or something that didn't go your way andthen making if you're not in the right
headspace, how do you turn that to a positive?
And that's one of the biggest things that I cando now is, you know, my podcast was the I was
literally getting ready to give up my business.
(38:18):
And I've said, you know what?
One last ditch effort.
I know how to podcast.
I've helped people podcast before.
I've been a producer of podcasts.
Let me start my own podcast and get start like,let me pivot away from the way I was doing it
for my business.
And as soon as I started recording my podcast,and that was the first responder podcast and
then the the Ignition Path podcast came afterthat.
(38:39):
And that because of all of that, I metdifferent people.
I actually met most likely, you met the guythat really helped me pivot, which was Dave
Albon, who was Tony Robbins' firewalkingcaptain for twenty years.
So depending on when you did that, you may havehad Dave be the one at the very end that
grabbed you off.
He was the one that prepared all the fire.
(39:01):
So he prepares all of the the coals.
And there's a there's an art to it, and there'sa science to it.
And Tony only trusted one person for many,many, many, many years until that person was
able to, you know, share the knowledge.
But Dave Albin, he's gonna be on my podcast.
I'm actually helping him with his podcast whenhe launches it.
So because I met him through the process ofpodcasting, now I'm back helping him on a
(39:25):
podcast that helps first responders.
Nice.
And and and women and children of abuse.
Like, holy crap.
Look at this huge like, this, like, thiscircle.
Like, oh my gosh.
If I didn't pivot and embrace podcasting, Iwould have never met Dave.
I would have never known that he was trying tostart a podcast.
I would have never told him, hey.
Listen.
I'm a first responder and a podcast producer.
(39:47):
And he was like, wait a minute.
I've been trying to meet you.
I'm like, what do you mean?
He's like, I told somebody, and I he goes, Itold myself I will meet the right person who
understands the first responder role andunderstands podcasting because he didn't.
He's like, I don't know podcasting.
I know how to be a guest, but he's like, Idon't know how to produce my own podcast.
So I'll be doing that for him.
And and it just it's so funny that our pathshave kind of taken the same thing.
(40:11):
We've we've gone through the same struggles andcome out with the same positive attitude.
So real quick before we end, just make sure, sopeople, let's talk about your podcast one more
time, how we find your podcast, and, you know,and then we'll we probably won't I have a
feeling we're gonna be talking about somethingtotally different when I come on your podcast.
Like, we won't we won't probably talk aboutanything business.
(40:32):
You know, with with with what your podcast isabout, there's definitely parts of me that that
we may need to even have another pre call so Ican kinda open up a little bit more because
there are parts of that part of me that arevery helpful and very understanding and could
probably support someone that's listening tothat podcast to understand that, you know, hey.
Listen.
Here's somebody who, you know, is a successfulmedical person, who has multiple jobs and has a
(40:57):
family, and, you know, he had issues, and hecame through it.
Like, okay.
That's a positive message.
So, we'll talk about that at another time.
But, yeah, tell us more about your podcast, howyou find it, what platforms it's on, and then
anything else you wanna, talk about.
And after that, we'll wrap things up and and,call it a call it a podcast.
Well, sounds good.
Well, the name of it is adult child ofdysfunction, and you can find it really on any
(41:21):
Apple, Spotify, any of the major podcastplatforms.
YouTube?
Is it on YouTube?
I I'm putting them on there little by little.
So I think I have a 57 episodes and only 42 areon YouTube right now.
Okay.
But I'm Okay.
I'm getting there.
Getting it.
Yeah.
Well, YouTube's one of the biggest podcastingplatforms now because when you set it up the
right way, it's not only a video podcast, butthey also do the audio as well.
(41:43):
And it's actually the bigger it's actuallybigger than the other two now.
So that just that just happened.
Yeah.
And I need to I think I need to stop and pause.
Maybe I'll talk to you about that and set it upright because right now I'm just uploading
videos.
Like, it's Yeah.
You know?
I need to do it right, but a lot of people arelike, well, I wanna see it on YouTube.
I'm like, okay.
Let me throw it up there.
Yeah.
Well, it's yeah.
(42:03):
The it's and that's and that's what you wannamake sure that you do is when you do set it up.
And what like I said, that's a whole anotherconversation.
The reason why we podcast is is now we foundthe place where I need to help you, and I found
the place where you need to help me.
So There
you go.
Perfect.
Perfect.
So yes.
You can go on there, and that's reallyhonestly, if you can get to my podcast,
everything you need to know about me is onthere.
(42:23):
Because in my show notes, I have my I have aplace to book a chat.
I have if you wanna come on my podcast, I havea link so you can come on SpeakPipe and ask out
out loud, and I can answer you on the podcast,which is fun, which I wish more people would
take advantage of.
Yeah.
You have to tell me, like, I didn't know aboutthat.
That'd be cool to
Super cool.
Like, it's called SpeakPipe.
So you just go tospeakpipe.speakpipe.com/MaryVincentcoaching,
(42:48):
and you can manually talk ninety seconds.
You can ask a question, and then I canincorporate it into the podcast and answer it
online live.
Like a like a desynchronized question andanswer about your podcast.
So people may have to have a little bit ofknowledge about your podcast, but then they go
on that other one, ask a question that you wantthat they want answered on your podcast, and
(43:11):
you address that the next time you have apodcast that's in that area.
So I would probably yes.
I do guest, and I do solo episodes.
So if something comes in on SpeakPipe, I willprobably incorporate my solo episode around
that.
Or if or
if your guest is part of a SpeakPipe, you know,question, then yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
And because people Oh, yeah.
People like to hear their people some peoplelike to hear their voice on podcasts.
(43:33):
And Yeah.
You know, they'll share it with their friendsif they're like, hey.
Listen.
She answered my question on the podcast.
What's the what's the number one thing in theworld?
I mean, if any any good coach has always toldanybody, what's the number one thing that
people wanna hear the the most?
Themselves.
Their own name.
Their
own name.
Right?
They wanna hear their own name.
Whether they whether they get embarrassed ornot, they it gives them validation.
(43:54):
You know?
So Mhmm.
Absolutely.
That's funny.
So, anyway, so that's the easiest place toreach me because all of my links are there.
And, of course, we'll have them all in our shownotes as well.
You know?
That'll a a link to her podcast, a link to herpages, all that stuff will be in our show
notes.
She'll send me an email afterwards with allthat stuff in it so you can find it in in here
or, on her podcast.
So, Tammy, thank you so much for coming on theIgnition Path podcast.
(44:17):
I know it sounds like you and I could just wecould talk shop for hours.
I know it.
So, some of the shared experiences, some of thesome of the struggles we've both shared, you
know, it it's, it's kinda it's kind of one ofthose things where when you meet the right
people, you realize it, and you just instantlycome comfortable with them and, and know that
you're gonna be around them and and have have arelationship with them, you know, you know,
(44:40):
from from this point forward.
And there's people already that I wannaintroduce you to, that you know, and I'm sure
there's people that you wanna introduce to me.
So, that's another big thing of why we podcastis I know several nuggets now that I didn't
know prior to even with our conversations priorto this, this podcast has actually given me
more people to connect with Tammy to, to, one,support her and help her if or help her clients
(45:04):
that that may that may need the help.
And and I know that's reciprocal becausebecause they're you know, once again, Lauren
would have never introduced us if she didn'tthink that we were, some way connected and we
and we are.
That's for sure after this recording.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
More now than ever, I did had no idea.
So this is amazing.
Yeah.
Exactly.

I think it'd help you.
So that's a big part of what I do all of mypodcasts for so we can share the information.

Another thing, it I I used to tell people justto write a comment in the in the notes, and and
I'll answer your questions.
