    Send us a text "WHEN LIFE THROWS YOU LEMONS" Please consider financially supporting Samson Shulman's podcast CONNECTION IS MAGIC by clicking HERE!! He is dedicate to the amazing work of changing lives!! Stay in touch with Samson: Instagram: @samson_shulman YouTube: Connection Is Magic with Samson Shulman Book a 15-minute Life Coaching Consultation w/Samson Samson Shulman is a Serial Survivor! By age 23, Samson Shulman survived the death of his father, an emotionally abusive mother, being repeatedly bullied, switching schools 15 times, chronic illness and a debilitating addiction.  But surviving doesn’t mean escaping unscathed.  Somehow, he kept bouncing back. At 24 Samson found the faith to follow his heart to L.A. to create a dream career in music, with nothing in place, and turning down an acceptance to law school in the process.  Newly in L.A., he hustled hard and began to see his dreams turning into reality, against the odds. 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. Email Me Your Thoughts!!
