Gas Money Mentions #26 - Samantha Tradelius CEO of Sparkle Foundation, Inc. Samantha, a natural go-getter since early on, has always harbored the belief that she was destined for significant accomplishments. With a brokerage license in hand and an innate talent for fostering connections, she embarked on her entrepreneurial journey alongside her husband, establishing Commercial Coverage Insurance Agency (CCIA). From humble beginnings, the duo rapidly transformed CCIA into a highly successful business, boasting an impressive eight-figure valuation. Currently serving as the Vice President of Operations at LyteSpeed Learning, Samantha channels her deep passion for insurance education, catering to agents and brokers throughout California. This role holds particular significance for her, allowing her to share invaluable real-life insights gained from years of owning her own insurance agencies. Following her triumph with CCIA, Samantha felt compelled to embrace a passion that had inspired her since a very young age. Intrigued by the stories her grandmother and hero, GG, shared about raising three children as a single mom in the 1950s, Samantha noticed a common thread – her grandmother never mentioned anyone offering help or asking for assistance. Recognizing her grandmother's resilient efforts to provide for her children, Samantha, a self-starter and natural networker, swiftly moved to establish The Sparkle Foundation. This non-profit is dedicated to providing essential support for single women throughout the Bay Area, and the Cities of Los Angeles and Sacramento.
