Today we’d like to introduce you to Tamar Turner.
Hi Tamar, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
I started this podcast back in 2019, fresh out of grad school and looking for a way to brand myself. I began to realize how difficult it was to secure a job in my field post-grad and shortly after the pandemic hit. I was unhappy working at Target and remembered a conversation that I had with one of my professors at Syracuse, Brent Axe. Prof. Axe ran his own sports podcast on ESPN, and one day after class, I stayed behind and picked his brain on everything – from equipment to distributing platforms, and he was beyond insightful.
Eventually, I stopped making excuses and applied myself and just took the leap of faith. The feedback I received was amazing and from there, I started conducting interviews and never looked back. The biggest reason I am where I am today, besides God, is just consistency. Simple as that, I went all in and didn’t think twice about it because I really am having fun and absolutely love what I do from start to finish.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Smooth – ha! No, but there is always beauty in the struggle, and that’s what makes you appreciate the process that much more.
One of the biggest struggles is sometimes being a one-man band so everything falls on you from editing to promotion to even securing new interviews and coming up with creative content ideas. Having to manage all of that, on top of working a full-time job and having a personal life outside of both of those can become overwhelming.
Another struggle of mine is just being a perfectionist and sometimes that getting in the way of just putting the content out there. I have learned to give myself more grace and be patient with this process. Not everything is going to be 100% the way I want it, and that’s okay because to someone else, it could be conveyed as a masterpiece.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
