Episode 70 - Sam Silva: From Unexpected Redundancy to Entrepreneurship

In the final episode of Season 4 for 2025 of the Transition with Purpose podcast, I sit down with Sam Silva, a digital and social media strategist and founder of Dusol Australia and My Vivid Melbourne. We discuss Sam's journey from facing an unexpected redundancy to launching his own social media agency, the importance of networking, and the challenges of adapting to a new country. Sam shares insights on building a personal brand, networking, the significance of mindset, and the core values that drive his business. The conversation also delves into DuSol's unique offerings for small to medium businesses and the evolving landscape of social media marketing. Sam's journey will inspire you to end 2025 strong with conviction that you can do it and to go out there and make it happen. You can connect with Sam here...
