Intro (better late than never)

Hey Funny Money Makers 👋 I'm Tammy, and I'm new here. Which is a sentence I've been saying a lot lately because I am firmly in my "starting over" era (I'll explain).

Here's the quick version of how I got... here.

Fourteen years in corporate. Came in as an entry-level sales assistant, worked my way up to managing brand relationships across the region, and collected enough leadership styles along the way to fill a very uncomfortable HR training video. (I won't. Probably.)

It was genuinely the best place to work (until it wasn't). And then one day, the corporate decision-makers needed to reduce headcount to make the numbers look good ahead of a merger. Gentle Reader, I was part of the headcount.

They got bought a few months later. It worked out great for them. 🙃

That launched an eight-year entrepreneurial adventure and launched a marketing consultancy with a co-worker who also got caught up in the layoff. The best part of that was learning how to get scrappy. Last year, I outgrew my lane and decided it was time to build something entirely mine.

Now I'm here, building my own social ads business. Oh, and my kid is getting ready to graduate high school and empty the nest. So when I say I'm firmly in my "starting over" era, I mean like... all of it. And I'm excited. The dream is big. The coffee intake is bigger.

Glad to be in the room with you all. 🌸
