Today’s guest is a special one, and not just because of what he does, but because of how our paths crossed.
Sam Sherman isn’t just someone I admire in the mental health space, he’s the reason this podcast exists. Years ago, I met a man named Teddy in a Gamblers anonymous room who made a lasting impact on my life. I never imagined that decades later, I’d be teaming up with his nephew to launch a podcast dedicated to recovery, healing, and honest conversation.
Sam found his calling in the mental health field unexpectedly, but once he stepped into it, he never looked back. He’s currently on the path to becoming a certified gambling counselor and hosts his own podcast, Courage Speaks, where he tackles mental health in all its forms, working to break stigma and reach people who need it most.
Sam leads with his heart. He’s wise beyond his years, driven by purpose, and deeply committed to helping others find their voice, just like he helped me find mine.
This episode is more than a discussion, it’s a full-circle moment I’ll never forget.
