Welcome! I’m Sam Thomas, the host of the "Different Hats Podcast." In a world where entrepreneurs often feel pressured to wear countless hats, I believe in the power of authentic storytelling to redefine what success truly means. My mission is to help you achieve happiness, purpose, and fulfilment by sharing real stories from those who’ve navigated the entrepreneurial landscape.
Through engaging conversations with peers and industry leaders like Chris Anderson of TED, I aim to provide you with the insights and inspiration needed to build the business you desire. Unlike other platforms, "Different Hats" focuses on the human side of entrepreneurship, moving beyond the performative aspects to foster genuine connections and meaningful growth.
Authentic Insights: Hear real stories that resonate and inspire.
Community Building: Connect with a network of supportive entrepreneurs.
Transformative Guidance: Learn how to turn your current business into the one you’ve always wanted.
Join our community and start redefining your path to success today.
