Early in his career Sam had carved out a niche as a youth futurist working for the Australian government. In October 2006, Sam's life changed forever when he was involved in a major car accident. Initially pronounced dead, he was eventually resuscitated, but his right arm had to be amputated and he was left with a permanent disability in his right leg.

During his recovery Sam chose not to return to his old job. Instead, he learned how to share his own story of ‘bouncing forward’ from his near-fatal injuries.

Sam has written seven previous books. Bounce Forward (2013) became an international bestseller. He has trained more than 5000 speakers around the world and has spoken in over 40 countries on some of the world's biggest stages.
