“In my capacity as Professor of Entrepreneurship at CSUF, I have had the privilege of working closely with Sam in various capacities, and his dedication, expertise, and passion for entrepreneurship, journalism, and education are truly commendable.

I had the pleasure of witnessing Sam in action when he spoke at a boot camp on Side Hustles that I facilitated. His personal anecdotes about startups, side hustles, and entrepreneurial experiences held the audience spellbound. Sam masterfully wove together real-life experiences with an academic perspective, providing valuable insights and inspiration to all in attendance. His ability to connect with the audience and convey complex ideas in an accessible manner was truly impressive.”

“So amazed by the ideas and solutions we were able to generate in just one hour as Sam took our team through his easy to follow, creative approach to problem solving. Sam is a wonderful speaker and brilliant thinker and his presentation was interactive and fun. I highly recommend him and his book --we purchased a copy for everyone in the company.”

“As the Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship for a large community college district, having Sam present on the power of the "side hustle" was both inspirational and practical.  Many of our students and community members already have side gig and having him affirm the energy and strength to "just do it" got right to the heart of the matter.  We had an energizing and engaged session that spun off ongoing comments and commitment to take that important first step.  We purchased a copy of The Next Big Idea for each participant and I have had other students drop by and ask for a copy, as they heard about the speaker and book from the bootcamp workshop.  Sam, your vision and leadership are very special...thank you!”
