Three years. Two attorneys. Thousands of dollars. All to protect a name and everything it represents.

In this episode of The Messy Mind, Tammy shares the behind-the-scenes journey of securing a trademark that wasn’t “just a formality,” but a business move rooted in ownership, protection, and long-term vision.

If you’re a consultant, trainer, coach, or creator putting your knowledge out into the world, such as:

• You’ve created templates, courses, or frameworks but haven’t protected them
• You’re ready to grow your brand, launch products, or license your content
• You want to stop giving away your brilliance for free
• You’re tired of “doing the work” and ready to own it

This episode is your wakeup call!

Consulting is great. But owning what you consult on? That’s how you build real freedom.

NOTE: when I referred to payments, I meant to my attorneys! 😀

There is a story behind every bold move, business pivot, or leadership role. But too often, we forget to revisit the very journey that got us here.

In this episode of The Messy Mind, Tammy dives into the power of your origin story: the real one, with all the detours, doubts, and people who helped you rise to the level you are now.

Whether you're leading a team, launching a business, or just navigating your next pivot, this episode is a reminder:

You didn’t start alone. And you’re not building alone either.

After you listen, take 60 seconds and send a thank-you message to someone who helped shape your journey. Give them their flowers and strengthen your future by acknowledging your past.

You already read AI is here, and it's moving faster than your organization chart can keep up. While tech teams are busy rolling out the latest tools, your people are quietly asking: “Am I still relevant?” or “What does this even mean for my job?”

In this episode, Tammy dives into what AI-driven change may be like and why the secret sauce to successful transformation isn’t just technology… it’s people.

You’ll learn:

• Why old-school change management won’t work in an AI world

• What today’s resistance looks like (spoiler: it’s not just “I hate new systems”)

• How to plan for a future that hasn’t been written yet

• The ethical and emotional landmines leaders can’t afford to ignore

• How to help your team learn how to learn in real time

Whether you’re a C-suite leader, a project sponsor, or just someone wondering what “organizational change management” actually does, this episode will break it down in plain English (no PhD in consultant-speak required).
