Episode #65: Pamela Becker Founder & Chairman, Jeremy’s Circle

In this episode, we have the pleasure of interviewing Pamela Becker, a marketing executive for some of Israel’s leading technology companies.

After she was widowed with three small children in 2008, Pamela co-founded and remains the active chairperson of the Israeli charity Jeremy’s Circle, which supports children and teens coping with cancer or cancer loss in their young families.

We discuss:

  • Coping with losing a husband to cancer, with 3 children at home, in need of community support
  • Needing to be strong for everyone else, and the need to keep going no matter what
  • The power of healing through helping others: “The way to lift yourself up is to bring someone else up with you”
  • Mission-driven and powerful companies
  • The importance of being allowed to screw up
  • Preparation and proportions as key factors of success

We hope you enjoy this profound episode!

Pamela built her career as a marketing executive for some of Israel’s top technology companies long before Jeremy’s Circle existed, and that professional discipline, thinking in terms of mission, proportion, and preparation, is what she leaned on when she found herself widowed with three young children in 2008. Rather than stepping back, she channeled that same rigor into building an organization that now supports children and teens coping with cancer or the loss of a parent to it, turning her hardest chapter into structured, lasting support for other families facing similar loss.

It’s a profound and personal conversation about grief, resilience, and the discipline of staying strong for others, and about how Pamela channeled that experience into building a mission-driven organization, with reflections on healing, preparation, and what it means to let yourself make mistakes along the way.
