Sam Cawthorn. Obsessed Global Speaker
What does it really take to lead well and live well, especially after everything falls apart? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Sam Cawthorn, international motivational speaker, best-selling author of Bounce Forward, and CEO of the Speakers Institute Group.
After surviving a devastating head-on collision at over 200 km/h, Sam didn’t just rebuild his life—he redefined it. Today, he leads the largest speaker training organisation in the Southern Hemisphere and speaks to audiences of over 100,000 around the world.
In this interview, Sam shares his journey of recovery, the importance of resilience, and how trust, character, and purpose are the true foundation of influence. You’ll also hear insights on how he integrates AI into leadership development, and why his message of "bounce forward" matters more now than ever.
