Ep 38. Sam Olmsted – Kellogg: Focusing on the Culture of Your Career

Today’s guest is Sam Olmsted, whose story blends heart, humor, and a whole lot of wisdom. We talk about his time living in New Orleans and how the city left a lasting mark on how he sees the world. He also introduces us to his three-legged cat and his dog, Tom, and shares about some of the awesome client events he’s helped organize, including a Cubs event (RIP to the Cubs season). At the core of this episode is Sam’s perspective on culture and self-awareness. He talks about the importance of truly listening, especially to those who aren’t fighting to be heard, and the power of regularly checking in with yourself to make sure you’re still on the path you want to be on. It’s thoughtful, funny, and full of reminders about what it means to be intentional in how we live and lead.
