In this Best Of episode of No Wrong Choices, we revisit Pam’s incredible career journey, from selling apples on the streets to supporting some of comedy’s biggest names like Colin Quinn, Neal Brennan, Jim Norton, Kathy Griffin, Ms. Pat, Hannibal Buress and beyond. But Pam’s story isn’t about celebrity connections—it’s about the grit it takes to bounce back from setbacks and create a life defined by your own rules.
From Selling Apples to Comedy PR: The Unconventional Start
Pam’s path into the entertainment industry didn’t begin with a glamorous internship or well-placed connections. It started with weekends spent selling apples, navigating jobs with horrible bosses, and fighting to find her place in the world.
Her early struggles taught her the value of persistence. Every rejection was fuel, every setback a lesson. Pam didn’t wait for opportunities—she created them.
The Highs and Lows of Managing Big Names
Pam’s career has taken her behind the scenes with some of comedy’s biggest stars. From working with Colin Quinn to managing high-profile PR crises, she’s seen it all. But as Pam shares in the episode, it’s not the star power that defines her success—it’s the relationships, the hard-earned trust, and the ability to stay grounded in an industry that often isn’t.
She opens up about navigating the unpredictable world of PR, including the stress of handling high-stakes crises and the lessons learned from both wins and failures.
What It Takes to Get Back Up
The heart of Pam’s story is resilience. Whether facing toxic work environments, industry politics, or personal doubts, she’s proven time and again that the key to success isn’t avoiding failure—it’s learning how to recover from it.
Pam’s advice is simple but powerful:
- Know your worth, even when others don’t.
- Don’t be afraid to walk away from situations that don’t serve you.
- Hustle with intention, but don’t lose yourself in the process.

It’s about the messy, complicated, and often overlooked parts of building a career—those moments when you’re knocked down and have to decide whether to get back up.
