E66: She Lost $10M, Both Hips, and a Baby. She Rebuilt Anyway | Samantha Williams

If you've ever looked at someone who's rebuilt from nothing and wondered what they actually have that you don't, this episode is going to answer that question. Samantha Williams has had more full-stop moments than most people have excuses. Wall Street trader. UK's first female trampoline park owner. A business that hit $10M in two years, then fell apart. A toxic partnership that forced her out of something she built. Both hips replaced. Perimenopause. A late ADHD diagnosis that reframed her entire life. And through all of it, she kept building. She's now an EOS Implementer based in Abu Dhabi, one of only two in the UAE,  helping entrepreneurial teams get clear on where they're going and how they'll actually get there. And she's starting over again in a new country, in a new market. This conversation goes deep. We talk about what it felt like to be forced out of a company she founded, why she thinks her ADHD was her superpower before she even knew she had it, and what it means to redefine success when you've already hit the top and watched it disappear. The question I kept coming back to throughout this episode: what is it in someone that defaults to rebuild instead of retreat? Sam answers it, and she doesn't give you the polished version. What we cover: Navigating Wall Street as the only woman on the floor, and closing a $2 billion deal The personal loss that made her walk away from banking Building Rush Trampoline Parks to $10M and being forced out by her business partner Simultaneous hip replacements, perimenopause, and launching a new brand The ADHD diagnosis and why it changed everything EOS, Abu Dhabi, and what she's building now Her definition of success and why it's completely changed Connect with Sam: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthawilliamsofficial/ Website: https://implementer.eosworldwide.com/samantha-williams/ Enjoyed this episode?
