Samson landed an internship with Interscope Records (Lady Gaga, Eminem, U2) and worked his way up, before becoming a music coordinator at The Tonight Show, then launching an artist development / talent management company called 5AM Collective, where he helped advance the careers of emerging artists.After an 11-year run of non-stop grinding in the music business, Samson found himself sinking, spinning into a complete breakdown. He was physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially devasted. Every department of his life was in ashes.To coincide with all of this, at his lowest point in this process, Samson had a near death experience that left him in the hospital clinging to life from a tumor in his head that had hemorrhaged didn’t even know was there.Shortly after stabilizing physically, Samson left L.A. to regroup and when all of the dust started settling, he looked to place blame on a tough industry and former partners who he felt wronged me, for his demise. But gradually Samson started to realize … "it was me who had betrayed myself."Now, Samson is driven by a new dream: to TRANSFORM his pain and struggle into gratitude and wisdom – and to develop a deeper, authentic CONNECTION with himself and others.
