Sam believes that regardless of your circumstances, you can turn challenges into opportunities and achieve success. Having faced numerous obstacles and followed a non-linear path to achieve his career goals, Sam understands the importance of overcoming adversity and staying resilient in the face of new challenges. He sees a clear parallel in the search industry, where it is essential to seize every opportunity, acknowledge the inevitability of both successes and failures, and maintain professionalism and perseverance to reach key objectives.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. Ernest Hemingway
