BIO:

My name is Tamara Jackson but my clients affectionately call me "Coach Tam." I am an author, speaker, transformation coach, and 11-year, 100 lb. weight loss success story. I am also the CEO of a mission-oriented company, 265 Point, that helps current and aspiring Christian authors get their God-given message out and to the masses.

Interestingly enough, much of the success that God has allowed me to enjoy is founded upon a book that I wrote in 2013, 265 Point. In the book, I share how I transformed from being a 265 lb. junk food addict to a 155 lb. fitness fanatic appearing on the demonstration floor of the Dr. Oz Television show. It's part biography, part self-help. I wanted to do my part to end the trend of obesity in America and help others lose weight and keep it off.

I would love to say that I answered the call to write immediately. I didn't. It took me YEARS to put pen to paper and publish my book.
Now, as an aspiring author coach my mission is to ensure that others write, publish, and profit. This podcast, Publishing Secrets, is designed to further that mission. I pray that it blesses you!

P.S. Do you have a story to share? Have you overcome trials and tribulations and pushed through doubts and insecurities to publish your book? You could be a featured author on the Publishing Secrets podcast!
