About the Podcast
“Joy is a prerequisite.”
The Monday Podcast is an invitation to beautiful humans who believe in the power of co-creation. Every episode is a space we build together - expansive, warm, full of life - where the guest is the true thought leader and their story is the magic. We are here to sprout new ideas, to share the magic that lives in story, and to co-create conversations that are thriving, joyful, and deeply human.
“The most valuable currency I have ever collected is people.”
What Makes This Show Different
Organic connection, expanded pallets, and a gift for hearing what lives beneath the surface of every story.
Deeply Human
People are the currency.
This is not an interview. It is a co-created conversation - warm, expansive, and full of life - where you are the thought leader and your story is the magic.
Rooted in New
New is not a destination.
Every guest is in the middle of something - building it, facing it, growing through it. We explore what new really means and what it takes to expand without leaving anything behind.
Joy-Filled
Joy is a prerequisite.
High energy, full of warmth, and a whole lot of fun. Because around here, joy is not optional - it is foundational.

About Sam
Hi, I'm Sam - your new friend.
I'm a South Florida native who leaned fully into faith and decided to build out a division of my brands in the beautiful hub that is Orlando. I believe my human capital and my relationship equity make me one of the richest people in the world - and I am simply here to grow that wealth with you.
I am a super connector by nature. Over 24 years at the intersection of brand strategy, messaging, and human connection - as a Fractional CMO, TEDx speaker, keynote speaker, MC, stand-up comedian, and founder of SG INK, a printing, branding, and marketing firm - I have had the privilege of serving some of the largest organizations in the world across the military, pharmaceutical, and bioscience industries. In every room, at every table, the most important thing has always been the human in front of me.
I have a gift for hearing what lives beneath the surface of a conversation - and reflecting it back in a way that makes people feel genuinely seen. I bring warmth, presence, and a whole lot of joy to everything I do. Because around here, joy is a prerequisite.
The Monday Podcast is my invitation to Orlando and beyond: to beautiful humans who are co-creating this world alongside the rest of us. Every episode is a space we build together - expansive, warm, full of life - where my guest is the true thought leader and their story is the magic. I am here to sprout new ideas, to share the magic that lives in story, and to inject conversations that are thriving, joyful, and deeply human.
I'm Lebanese by heritage, grounded in my roots, and fueled by a belief that congruence - the alignment between who you are on the inside and how you show up in the world - is the most powerful thing a person can possess.
