Finding the Gift in Failure…

Sam’s wisdom and stories are gleaned from his own life of successes and failures. A graduate from Xavier University on a full-ride basketball scholarship, Sam operated a business in a multi-million dollar international industry that was lost overnight in a fire. Riddled with depression and doubt, Sam worked as a nighttime janitor and slept on borrowed floor space.

Through a series of personal events and changes, Sam nurtured dreams of affecting people’s lives, but faced criticism and challenge. As Sam states, “At 6’7”, I was a giant on the outside, but on the inside I was living small.”

Through small changes to his outlook and lifestyle, Sam developed the courage to quit his job on a move of complete faith to become a fulltime speaker. Sam became convicted with the knowledge that our choices build momentum and move us in the direction of our dreams, bringing wealth and inspiring fulfillment. Sam frequently speaks of how he had to “get busy living, or get busy dying,” a favorite line from the movie Shawshank Redemption.

As Sam states, “The more I began to get busy living, the more I realized how dead I had been before. As my attitude, actions, thoughts, focus, beliefs and goals changes, my life and world began to change as well.”

Today, Sam operates his highly successful speaking business and has authored 15 books on attitude, character, failure and more. Through it all, he has inspired millions with his simple, heartfelt stories, impacting people to make huge changes, with effects that trickle into all areas of life.

Sam uses humor to illustrate even his darkest moments, leaving his audience in stitches, while delicately weaving a powerful message of principles. His themes involve working with the many facets of attitude, which Sam believes, will make us more successful professionally and personally. As Sam states, “The right attitude advances us, promotes us, opens doors and makes us healthier and happier.”
