PTP.018: Finding Your Big Why with Pamela Wilson
“I just did not want to have a boring life” so says Pamela Wilson in her interview with Dr. Brad Miller describing the motivations for many of the decisions and adventure she’s taken her life on the Pathway to Promise podcast Episode 018.
Pamela Wilson is the author of “Master Content Marketing” and creator of the “Big Brand System” helping entrepreneurs plan, build, implement and grow their online businesses.
Pamela shares with Dr. Brad one of the initial motivations for her to create her own business was her experience as a single mother and being highly motivated to parent her children the way she wanted to parent them with a very hands-on engaged approach by building a business and she could do it home.
This motivation to create and sustain a business is the “Big Why” that Pamela teaches in her book and system.
Pamela tells Brad how living overseas helped give for an appreciation of different lifestyles and approaches to business and life and be open to new ideas from many sources. She approaches life with the acceptance that failure is a given but not final. She looks at every failure as an opportunity to have a learning experience that she can apply in some other area of life moving forward. A part of the resources she draws upon to succeed in her life are being open to mentorship and encouragement from others and relying on a deep well of spiritual peace within her which she describes as a calming deep lake.
Pamela developed a systematic way to create compelling and effective content in the online business world. However, she discovered that many people she worked with were befuddled by the very process that she had mastered. She tells Dr. Brad that the problem of overwhelm is a serious block too many people wanting to build an online business. She created the Plan and Go Big process as an antithesis to overwhelm by helping business people master process through manageable stages.
She condenses the process into four stages: planning, building, implementation and growing. She shares with Dr. Brad how the process works; helping people through the critical transition from one stage to another in particular. Pamela sees her purpose as being a knowledgeable guide who has walked the path of business building and can help others master the process of planning, building, implementing and growing a successful business.

PTP.017:”The Free Time Formula” with Jeff Sanders
In Episode 017 of the Pathway to Promise podcast, Dr. Brad Miller talks with author Jeff Sanders about gaining margin in your life to overcome adversity and achieve your goals. Jeff unpacks the message and the core values from his book The Free Time Formula: Finding Happiness, Focus, and Productivity No Matter How Busy You Are.”
Jeff tells Dr. Brad how his ambitious schedule got the best of him and he ended up landing in the hospital with a medical emergency which got his attention. Jeff realized his life was just too busy and he needed to find a way to give himself from some wiggle room or margin so he could deal with the stressful situation at hand and move forward in a more healthy, productive manner.
Jeff goes on to share with Dr. Brad how he worked out a process of under booking his calendar which was his intentional way of prioritizing what really matters most in his life and letting go of the rest. This included an understanding and acceptance that some things just don’t get done and that’s okay.
Some of the ways Jeff took control of scheduling his life included prioritizing his health and his morning routine which includes meditation and quiet time in order to set the course for a productive day. This involves building new habits to replace old habits which are often filled with what Jeff calls “nonsense” activities which are things that don’t have to happen but were happening any by force of habit. One example of this is watching too much TV just because it’s there. Among other things, this means accepting that boredom is okay.
Jeff concludes that belief in the power of your goals is the starting point for intentionally taking control of your calendar and creating white space or margin in your life. When you have the big yes of keeping your highest priorities that makes say no to lower priorities a natural and productive thing to do.

PTP.014: Born to Write with Azul Terronez
PTP.014: “Born to Write” with Azul Terronez author of “The Art of Apprenticeship”
Azul Terronez spent over two decades as a teacher and presented a TED talk on teaching which flipped upside down the accepted practices used most often in the profession. He is the author of the book “The Art of Apprenticeship” and publishes the podcast “Born to Write” and is a world traveler. Azul is Dr. Brad Miller’s guest on Episode 014 of The Pathway to Promise Podcast.
Azul asked thousands of his students over the course of over 20 years a common question “what makes a good teacher a great teacher?” He collected over 12,000 responses to this question and concluded the common theme of the responses was that a great teacher is a good “listener”. This discovery became the foundation for a highly acclaimed TED talk which Azul gave on the topic of “What Makes a Good Teacher Great.”
In this process, Azul also discovered a powerful inner calling to write a book; something he had delayed for 22 years. Azul enrolled in a business building seminar and set a goal to write a book to present to the seminar. He developed a plan and implemented a discipline that led to him writing the book “The Art of Apprenticeship” in just 30 days.
Azul’s conversation with Dr. Brad is all about his journey of transitioning from a schoolteacher to a full-time writer and writing coach and includes the change in mindset that he had to achieve before he could even write the book; as well as the disciplines and practices that he used to write the book. For instance, Azul posted a video each of the 30 days he wrote the book as a form of public proclamation and self-accountability to his writing practice.
This is his story of overcoming self-doubt and lack of confidence to seek out his promised life of becoming a published author and make a great living as a writer and writing coach.
Azul also shares with Dr. Brad’s his adventures traveling around the world, which is new career has allowed them to do, and the special affinity he has for the country of Laos.
