Thank and Grow Rich (Episode 38)

Thank and Grow Rich with Pam Grout (The Open Nesters Podcast Episode 38) Hi, this is Tessa. Welcome to Episode 38… with Pam Grout. Pam has led a very unconventional life. She has traveled the world. Had a daughter later in life who she tragically lost. She is a prolific writer and is just, simply an incredible guest. I love Pam’s writing and her work has meant a lot to me. So that means, I am quite pleased to share this wonderful interview with Pam on our Open Nesters Podcast with you. In Pam’s Words I am the author of 20 books, two screenplays, a live soap opera, a TV series and enough magazine articles that I haven’t starved in 25 years without a 9-5 job. On this site, you’ll find all sorts of information about my books and about my career as a freelance magazine and travel writer. If you’re an editor, you can easily click on Portfolio to view writing samples from my illustrious magazine and newspaper career. If you’re looking for a speaker, you can contact my agent at CAA (Creative Artists Agency) here. And if you’re a reader of my books, you can find out more about me, read excerpts and take quizzes to see if you’re qualified as an artist, a manifester or a P.L.B. (that’s a person who lives big for those who haven’t yet read Living Big!) And if you’re really jazzed, simply click here.
