Hey — Sam here.
Thanks for being here.
If you’re here to…
- Get your legal ducks in a row
- Feel more confident about business
- Grow in a “chill way” (even as a type-A overachiever)
- Start a brand-new business
…then you’re in the right place.
The need-to-know about me, Sam:
I was a lawyer for 5+ years before defecting to online business — since then I’ve made $8M+ in revenue, and built a business that can hold me through whatever life throws at me, which has been a lot in the years since starting a business: brain surgery for me, cancer for my dad, losing both my parents in one year, hiking for one month in Patagonia, and a book deal with a Big 5 publisher.
Seriously. It’s been a ride. None of it was easy but a lot of the work was done in stretchy pants on the couch. My podcast On Your Terms® has published 300+ episodes, plus I’ve been interviewed by people like Pat Flynn, Ellen Yin, and even Tori Dunlap on Her First 100K(!!).
