Speaker:am here today with my guest, Pam Hamilton. She
Speaker:is a mindset and visibility expert, And she's very
Speaker:serious about helping women business owners over 50 get past
Speaker:the mindset hurdles that keep them invisible and playing small
Speaker:so they can live full out in their purpose and create a life they
Speaker:love. Pam recently started her own
Speaker:podcast, and I thought it would be such fun And so
Speaker:informative to have her on the show and talk about her experience starting
Speaker:her new podcast. So let's welcome Pam. Thank
Speaker:you. Hi, Melissa. How you doing? I'm happy to be here.
Speaker:Yeah. I am so happy. We had a little conversation
Speaker:via email last year, and I said, oh, I would really love to have you
Speaker:on the show after you've had a few episodes under your belt. And You
Speaker:reached out to me after the 1st of the year here, so I'm so glad
Speaker:we were able to get this scheduled. So first of all, Pam, tell
Speaker:us about your business, what you do. I know I read intro.
Speaker:But tell us a little bit more about you and who you serve
Speaker:and what kind of work you're doing out there and putting out in the world.
Speaker:Sure. So I do mindset and visibility work. I
Speaker:coach. I speak. I'm an author. I've written
Speaker:One book that's a solo book, The Ten Principles of Visibility,
Speaker:and I've coauthored a couple of different books.
Speaker:And I'm very, very, very intentional about
Speaker:helping all the women that are struggling with visibility. I'm
Speaker:all about helping them find the courage to be Because that's
Speaker:the problem that I see people having. They are
Speaker:afraid to put themselves out there. And so many people talk about
Speaker:marketing and they wanna help them, but you can't
Speaker:do the marketing if there's this fear holding you
Speaker:back. Right. You need to get the courage to be seen in order
Speaker:to implement the strategies and techniques of marketing or
Speaker:anything else that you're gonna do. So it's like you helped them
Speaker:take off that invisibility cloak. Absolutely.
Speaker:Absolutely. Yeah. Because so often, they just don't
Speaker:Trust in themselves to be able to say the things that they need to say
Speaker:or do. They don't trust that their
Speaker:message needs to be heard. So it's just helping
Speaker:them step into their own skin comfortably.
Speaker:Well, there's such a need for this. So I'm so glad that you're out there
Speaker:doing it. And for those of you who have just met
Speaker:Pam, Pam is a recovering lawyer,
Speaker:Recovering attorney. So like me, she had a
Speaker:different career and now is online sharing some of
Speaker:her experience and genius in a different way. Yes.
Speaker:Absolutely. I was just actually talking about that
Speaker:how In 2020, when COVID tried to direct the world, I
Speaker:was taking care of my clients' legal needs Mhmm. And yet I was
Speaker:dreaming of coaching them. And I was coaching some of them
Speaker:for free, but I was dreaming of doing that full time. And now I
Speaker:am, and I'm really, really happy Would help That is so
Speaker:cool. I'm so glad that you've made that pivot.
Speaker:Tell us a little bit about your podcast. What's the name of it,
Speaker:and what's the mission, the goal for your podcast?
Speaker:Just go ahead and tell us Whatever you think we would like to know about
Speaker:your podcast. Great. So my podcast is called Becoming
Speaker:Seen, And it's about the art and science of
Speaker:creating authentic visibility. We don't want people to just be
Speaker:out there Trying to be out there for no reason or being out there
Speaker:inauthentically. We want them to be themselves and be
Speaker:comfortable in their own skin. And the podcast is about
Speaker:helping people uncover the things that get in
Speaker:the way to doing that and actually be able to
Speaker:live as your authentic self, to own your strengths and
Speaker:your differences as being An integral
Speaker:part of who you are and just embracing that and knowing that the
Speaker:people that resonate with you will be attracted
Speaker:to who you actually are. And you started this
Speaker:podcast in 2023.
Speaker:Yes. Okay. So you've got about 3, 4 months
Speaker:behind you? It may maybe 2 or 3. Not
Speaker:I don't think 4, but 2 or 3 months. I started it
Speaker:In late 2023, and then realized
Speaker:I needed to pivot just a little. Alright.
Speaker:Tell us about that. I know there was a different name that you started out
Speaker:with, and there was kind of quickly there was a pivot to a
Speaker:different name. So I love that you just went ahead and made
Speaker:that change, and I think that also is so empowering to other people who
Speaker:think, I can't start a podcast because I'm gonna get it wrong.
Speaker:And what if I make a mistake or I don't
Speaker:like the name that I choose? So many different things hold people back from
Speaker:getting started. For me, it was the Stupid music.
Speaker:Intro music that helped me back resolve. Your
Speaker:intro music, though. I loved it. Thank you. But it's it's like
Speaker:That's such an unimportant part of a
Speaker:podcast. Some people don't even have it. Yeah. So tell
Speaker:us about Getting started in your pivot.
Speaker:So, yeah, so I got held back for a long time too because I had
Speaker:to figure out music. I had to figure out intro. I had to figure
Speaker:out how I was gonna edit it. All of these different things that I
Speaker:thought, oh, you gotta have this in a podcast. But I knew I wanted to
Speaker:call it I See You Because I wanted people
Speaker:to know that I see them, that if they're invisible and they're struggling
Speaker:with being seen, if they're whispering like they're not supposed to be
Speaker:heard, I see them because I was them, and I
Speaker:I knew that's what I wanted to name my podcast.
Speaker:But What I had forgotten was that there was a
Speaker:movie that came out called Avatar. Mhmm. And
Speaker:one of the key lines in that movie was, I see you. Like, I really
Speaker:see you. And so there were dozens of
Speaker:podcast named I See You Uh-huh.
Speaker:Which I hadn't realized because the first thing I did
Speaker:was I went and got the domain name ICU for
Speaker:my podcast and the ICU podcast. I
Speaker:got both of those domain names. That's amazing that you were able to
Speaker:grab that. Yeah. I was able to grab both domain names, not
Speaker:understanding that in the podcast world,
Speaker:people don't always use the domain name for their
Speaker:podcast name because they're on these different hosting platforms.
Speaker:Mhmm. And those platforms,
Speaker:their the name of their podcast is on those platforms, and those
Speaker:platforms just let them have a subdomain name, so they
Speaker:don't go get the domain name. So knowing that you have
Speaker:the domain name Doesn't mean a whole lot, and I did not
Speaker:know that. And so I launched my podcast, but it was
Speaker:hard for people to find. And it was
Speaker:under a name that, like I said, dozens of podcast
Speaker:owners had it, and Several of them have been in there
Speaker:way longer than me and then established a marketplace. There was a guy on
Speaker:NPR that had one. There was this play. I didn't feel
Speaker:like I could ever really get my I
Speaker:was gonna be able to really get mine out there, Make make a a
Speaker:difference. And only because I wanted the people that
Speaker:need to hear the message to be able to hear the message, to be able
Speaker:to find it, and And they weren't going to be able to because of all
Speaker:the noise surrounding it. And one of the
Speaker:things I've learned is that Just because you made
Speaker:a mistake and just because you've been doing it a long time,
Speaker:doesn't mean you have to keep doing it. You can change.
Speaker:Oh, that's a mic drop right there.
Speaker:Yeah. That is so important to To
Speaker:to realize to understand that listen. We can always make a pivot.
Speaker:Mhmm. It's not like you're getting a tattoo. Exactly.
Speaker:Yeah. You can make a change. Yeah. And there are people
Speaker:that get tattoos that change them up. Yeah? That's all painful,
Speaker:but I would look like yeah. No. Neither would I.
Speaker:But but each his own. Exactly.
Speaker:Yeah. It's about changing it up. It's about making it
Speaker:work because you're here to serve the people that
Speaker:you're trying to work with. You wanna serve them. You wanna make sure that they're
Speaker:getting what they need out of it, and they can't if you're not
Speaker:willing To make the shifts and things to help them be able to do
Speaker:that. So yeah. Right. There's another
Speaker:aspect that We should probably talk about,
Speaker:and that is podcasting is
Speaker:audio for the most part. There are people who have YouTube
Speaker:podcast. But it's mostly audio. And when you
Speaker:say the ICU podcast, The
Speaker:former medical brain for me thinks ICU
Speaker:intensive care unit. Oh, yeah. And there were a whole bunch of those too.
Speaker:Yes. ICU and ICU. Yes.
Speaker:All all versions of ICU. Many, many, many versions.
Speaker:And sometimes with my podcast, if I don't say
Speaker:it slowly, she's got content transcript
Speaker:Translators, I don't know what you call them, the AI that does the transcript, the
Speaker:software. Mhmm. Sometimes it comes out like cheese, c h e
Speaker:e s e. Cheese got Content. So
Speaker:one has to be careful about how the audio
Speaker:sounds Exactly. And if you choose words that are also letters, that
Speaker:could also be translated to something different, and people may have a harder
Speaker:time finding Your podcast. And my Transcribe
Speaker:AI regularly called it ICU,
Speaker:not I see The letters? Yes. The let It
Speaker:was very interesting. There's so many things you learn about doing a podcast when
Speaker:you're trying to do a podcast. And so you think, okay. I gotta
Speaker:find this music, and You wanna get royalty free music, and where do you
Speaker:get that? And do you go through that for whatever? Then you gotta figure out
Speaker:how you're gonna edit this podcast. Are you gonna hire somebody? Are you gonna do
Speaker:it yourself? How are you gonna do it? Was that gonna cost you?
Speaker:On and on and like that. And then you go through all of that
Speaker:rigmarole, and then it's like, Now I gotta put it on hosting
Speaker:companies. You gotta pick up one of those. Right. And then
Speaker:there's a decision to be made. Which one? Am I gonna make a wrong
Speaker:decision? And can you move it if you pick 1 and you don't like them
Speaker:or you decide you wanna move over? So all of these
Speaker:decisions, but, Honestly, what I have found and your experience
Speaker:may be different, but what I have found is any of these things can
Speaker:be changed. Yes. Exactly.
Speaker:Pivoting is okay. If that's what you need to do or want
Speaker:to do, that's okay. And that's what I learned. And I think
Speaker:Because I'm leading people that
Speaker:have been afraid and let themselves play small
Speaker:For so many different reasons, it's really important for me
Speaker:to walk the talk, to always lead
Speaker:by example, to step out, to say, Okay. I made a mistake here.
Speaker:I'm making a pivot. Pivot and iterations grow you.
Speaker:Mhmm. Right? Mistakes or feedback that shows
Speaker:you you gotta do it some kind of different way. And so
Speaker:I'm constantly making myself
Speaker:Deal with whatever because sometimes you're afraid. Right? Sometimes
Speaker:I'm afraid when I'm doing stuff, and I have to say, okay, but I'm gonna
Speaker:do it anyway. And that's why I always talk about courage because
Speaker:courage has nothing to do with the absence of fear.
Speaker:Courage is about feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
Speaker:So I'm constantly By the way, I loved that book. Feel the
Speaker:Fear and Do It Anyway. That's Susan Jeffers. Is that the author's
Speaker:name? Yeah. And so fear and do it anyway.
Speaker:So right. You're really truly walking
Speaker:the talk Yes. Going through those things that are
Speaker:scary for many people, and they're scary for you, but you're doing them anyway.
Speaker:Exactly. Exactly. So And I didn't know there was a book. I'm gonna have Check
Speaker:out the book. Yeah. I think it's Susan Jeffers. Feel the fear and
Speaker:do it anyway. Yeah. And I think there's a workbook I might have to check
Speaker:it out. I feel that because I'm always saying find the
Speaker:courage. And so and be courageous. Do your day
Speaker:courageously. Now I'm gonna have to read her book.
Speaker:Alright. Inspiration there. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Going
Speaker:back to the beginning, when you first had the idea About doing a
Speaker:podcast to the time you actually produced your 1st episode
Speaker:with that first name, the ICU podcast. How
Speaker:long was it when you finally drew the line in the sand and said, I
Speaker:wanna have a podcast, but before you actually published your first one?
Speaker:I would say it was probably at least
Speaker:4 or 5 months, and it may have even been 6 months. I
Speaker:really Thought about it for a long time. I knew the
Speaker:name. I knew the name. I knew why I wanted to have the
Speaker:name, but it took me a while of really thinking, Where's
Speaker:this podcast gonna go? How am I gonna help people? What am
Speaker:I gonna be saying in it? Am I gonna have guests? How am I
Speaker:gonna have guests? Oh my god. That's a whole another level of things. Can I
Speaker:just say what I wanna say? Can I have a podcast that's just me?
Speaker:Well, I could just talk because I can do that, I think. So it was
Speaker:all of these different things. You have to figure out how you're gonna do
Speaker:it, The format is gonna be, how long it's gonna be. No one wants to
Speaker:hear just me talk for half an hour. I'll do 10 minutes. I
Speaker:can talk for 10 minutes and make it interesting and share real
Speaker:information. So it was all of these things to figure
Speaker:out, and the technical
Speaker:hurdles and the Platform things were the biggest hurdles
Speaker:for me. Like I said, figuring out the music, figuring out
Speaker:how to Use the editing software to
Speaker:add identifying part because there's all these parts to it,
Speaker:the identifying part and then the music part that says where I
Speaker:am and then me talking and then the outro
Speaker:part. That was the hardest part. But Yeah. What I'm
Speaker:finding now is I have a little checklist. Mhmm. And I
Speaker:just put the pieces in, and I
Speaker:just talk, and so it's not as hard
Speaker:because I can just talk. And when I'm talking, if I make a mistake,
Speaker:I clap my hands so I could find it Mhmm. Fix it, but I can
Speaker:just talk. And so that made it a lot easier
Speaker:than going through a bunch of extra hurdles that I wasn't expecting
Speaker:I didn't know how to deal with. I finally got it to something that was
Speaker:manageable for me. Right. You said something
Speaker:before about, Basically, unless you're taking action, you
Speaker:don't really know you don't have any feedback, so you don't know
Speaker:what's working and you don't know what to fix. Right.
Speaker:Exactly. So taking that action, just jumping in there and doing it.
Speaker:And I think if the listeners Take
Speaker:away the fact that listen. If you wanna do something, just
Speaker:basically jump in there and do it. Exactly. What we're talking about
Speaker:podcasting today, I guess there probably are some things. I wouldn't want you to do
Speaker:brain surgery if you don't know how to do it, but but Well no.
Speaker:You you don't wanna do brain surgery if you don't know how to do it,
Speaker:but jumping in there could mean going and see
Speaker:if that's what you really wanna do. Taking a tour,
Speaker:becoming familiar with some hospitals, doing interviews with some doctors,
Speaker:and finding out what that feels like and what that looks like and whether or
Speaker:not that's something you really can stomach because you're operating on a person's brain and
Speaker:there's blood and stuff coming up. There's things. You know what I mean? There are
Speaker:steps that come first. Right. And those things that wanna do, you
Speaker:jump in. You jump in where you can, how you can.
Speaker:Mhmm. Then you can grow and decide whether or not that's really
Speaker:what you wanna do. Right. Yes. Take
Speaker:action. And the action may be You need to do
Speaker:some research, find out if that's something that you actually do wanna
Speaker:do. Exactly. Did you get support
Speaker:to start? Did you take a course? Did you have somebody hold your hand
Speaker:and help you? How did that work for you? So
Speaker:I went to different people that said stuff
Speaker:about podcasting, but I didn't really
Speaker:get a lot of useful
Speaker:information because people were mostly trying to sell something.
Speaker:Mhmm. And then at some point, you had a summit about
Speaker:podcasting. And Bundle. Last Yeah. Summit.
Speaker:Yeah. Mhmm. And I signed up for that bundle when
Speaker:I downloaded some of the different things. And some of those
Speaker:things were really useful in saying,
Speaker:There's just these steps. Right. Right? There's just
Speaker:steps. And if I stop making it really complicated and thinking
Speaker:of the whole picture, I can figure out each step.
Speaker:And it's just 1 step in front of the other Exactly.
Speaker:After the other. Yeah. So I wouldn't say that it was a
Speaker:specific course, but when I looked at each of those people in the
Speaker:bundle that spoke to me, It became more and
Speaker:more clear to me that it was just taking some steps. And
Speaker:all I had to do was understand what the steps were, and then I could
Speaker:do that. I didn't have to beat myself up. Right.
Speaker:Again, it's just actions one after the other. Just keep
Speaker:moving. Exactly. Have there been some big
Speaker:surprises for you since you've started?
Speaker:Well, definitely, the biggest surprise was that It didn't
Speaker:matter that I have the domain name.
Speaker:Yeah. That was probably the biggest surprise that that just
Speaker:didn't matter. I still bought the domain name for the
Speaker:podcast I have. So my podcast
Speaker:becoming seen, I have that domain name. I
Speaker:found out that it that's not really how people do things. That was one of
Speaker:the biggest surprises. Mhmm. And the second
Speaker:Biggest surprise for me was that I was able
Speaker:to learn how to use my editing software pretty quickly.
Speaker:I thought that was gonna be a big hurdle. You use
Speaker:Audacity? Yeah. I use Audacity. Yeah.
Speaker:And I thought that was gonna be really, really hard, and it turned out
Speaker:to be really simple. That was a pleasant surprise.
Speaker:Actually, that intimidated me in the beginning to Audacity. I think I
Speaker:started with Audacity, and I quickly jumped to Descript.
Speaker:Descript to me is just so easy to use, and I think you've had a
Speaker:different experience with that Yeah. Particular software. Yeah. Because I thought
Speaker:Descript was gonna be the answer, Mhmm. It just
Speaker:I really could not figure that out. I was just lost in
Speaker:the sauce with that. And probably because I was overcomplicating it, but I was really
Speaker:lost. But Audacity,
Speaker:once I stopped and really looked at it, it made sense so you could break
Speaker:it down and figure it out. So I started using that, and
Speaker:it's made life a lot easier. One of the biggest things that scared
Speaker:me and Made it hard for me to figure out how to do
Speaker:it was that you had to have show notes
Speaker:Mhmm. And This part and that part and all
Speaker:these other things that are attached to your podcast, and I didn't know how I
Speaker:was gonna make all of that happen. But It
Speaker:got easier because I, got a
Speaker:lifetime deal on this one software that made my life so much
Speaker:easier. It helped me Make show notes. Oh, let me
Speaker:guess. Cast Magic? Yes. Oh, I love
Speaker:Cast Magic. Yes. Cast Magic is like a game changer.
Speaker:I love Cast Magic. Yes. That was
Speaker:like, this is what's gonna happen. I can do a show now.
Speaker:And they just keep making it better and better. You can put
Speaker:in your own prompts for each episode, and then
Speaker:every time it comes up with The key objectives
Speaker:from the audio or Instagram
Speaker:posts Yes. Suggestions for reels.
Speaker:This is like magic. It is magic. It has magic. Yes. Exactly.
Speaker:It's beautiful. So I was very, very pleased with that, and I
Speaker:was like, oh my god. This is the thing. Now I can really do this.
Speaker:Yeah. That's definitely a game changer. Yeah. I started out
Speaker:Just listening to the episodes and writing down my notes,
Speaker:and once I moved over to using Cast Magic,
Speaker:Total total game changer. It's just so much quicker now. Yeah.
Speaker:Absolutely. Absolutely. And that was the big thing. It's like, wait.
Speaker:I wanna deliver this weekly, and I gotta not only come up with
Speaker:a topic, talk about it, record it, edit it, then I
Speaker:gotta listen to it and write show notes, And then I gotta do
Speaker:some content to promote. This is a bit much. Maybe I should do it
Speaker:once a month. No. That's not often enough. We do not wanna do that.
Speaker:So Cast Magic. That made the difference for
Speaker:me. Definitely. And just so
Speaker:our listeners know, you Do a solo
Speaker:podcast? Yes. Right now, you're not actually interviewing
Speaker:guests. It's just you. And when you said 10 minute
Speaker:Episodes, I thought, oh, well, that's great. You can have more episodes
Speaker:by cutting them into smaller little bite sized chunks,
Speaker:which is great. You can just keep talking repeatedly
Speaker:for another episode. Well, actually,
Speaker:what I do is I do a 10 minute episode, And and I'd stop,
Speaker:and I edit it, and I get it ready, and I set it up to
Speaker:publish. I'm trying to get to the point if I Stop
Speaker:overbooking myself to just take a weekend and do
Speaker:several episodes. Mhmm. Because I look back at Oprah When she did
Speaker:her show daily on The Oprah Show, she used to do
Speaker:several episodes at a time. They would literally record
Speaker:Multiple episodes of her show, each sitting. So they put
Speaker:in long workdays, but they got really good
Speaker:shows, and they just scheduled the guests out at different times for the
Speaker:shows. And it made it easier to do
Speaker:a quality show without having to worried
Speaker:that something might happen the next day or whatever because you had to be live
Speaker:every day. So they always had several shows backed up.
Speaker:I didn't realize that she actually batched them up like that. She did.
Speaker:Yeah. Yeah. That is cool to know. Yes. I'm Going to get to
Speaker:the point where I can batch up my episodes like that too.
Speaker:But right now, that's a vision in my head.
Speaker:Well, I've had that vision in my head too to do the batching ahead of
Speaker:time. And for one reason or another, it hasn't yet
Speaker:happened. But Yeah. It's a little harder when you have guests you gotta
Speaker:schedule in too and all of that, so I don't have that
Speaker:issue. I know somebody. Actually, someone that we both
Speaker:know, Karen Robinson. With her podcast, I
Speaker:think she is booked out. She has recorded 6 months
Speaker:in advance. Wow. And then
Speaker:they're just sitting there to be edited, and she has a a team
Speaker:or a team member who does the editing for her. And that was, like,
Speaker:a year ago Where she told me that she was recording in
Speaker:September from the following May.
Speaker:Wow. So that's even more than 6 months. So
Speaker:That just kinda blew me away, and I like, gosh. I wanna be like that.
Speaker:I wanna be able to get that far in advance, but it hasn't
Speaker:happened yet, and I will put that qualifier on there. Hasn't happened
Speaker:yet. I just I love doing interviews. I love
Speaker:having guests on. And for me, it's A couple of
Speaker:different reasons. I don't have to think of the content every show.
Speaker:I do more of a hybrid, so sometimes I'll have a Solo
Speaker:cast episode. Yeah. I just love sharing
Speaker:wisdom from other people too. So Yeah. I think
Speaker:in some way, I may have A guest here or there, but it would
Speaker:be a special episode, and it's not gonna happen all the
Speaker:time. But there are people I think would
Speaker:really give value to my audience. And so I
Speaker:would probably promote that in advance that it's gonna be the special episode
Speaker:that they're gonna be on, Then have to go on and then promote it again.
Speaker:Most of the episodes, what I wanna share, I can share. And
Speaker:it's easier for me to manage it And make it all happen
Speaker:if I can just sit down whenever I can sit down and do it.
Speaker:Only have 1 person to schedule. There you go. There you go.
Speaker:Well, this has been great. Before I let you go, I have
Speaker:a few, what I call the fast on your feet questions.
Speaker:Mhmm. And I love, Like I just said, I
Speaker:love interviewing other people and sharing the wisdom. So,
Speaker:Pam, tell me, what's the best piece of business advice you've ever been given?
Speaker:I would say the best piece of business advice I've ever been
Speaker:given is be yourself
Speaker:And keep it simple. Yes.
Speaker:That's it. Be yourself and keep it simple. What more can one
Speaker:say. That's right. Be yourself and keep it
Speaker:simple. Yep. I love that. What would you
Speaker:say is a book that everybody should read? So
Speaker:there's 1 book that I know everybody always says. But the other
Speaker:book that I think everybody should read It's called The
Speaker:Big Leap Oh, yes. Hendrix. That
Speaker:book changed my life. That book is so
Speaker:powerful Because it really is about stepping into
Speaker:your own genius Mhmm. And recognizing that
