I’m Sam, founder of SamuelJon Media and a strategic storyteller based in Minnesota. Twenty years in transportation leadership across multigenerational family enterprises and multinational corporations showed me what every organization carries at its core: a story that either works for them or works against them. Eight years behind a camera taught me how to bring that story into focus.
Today I work with corporations, ministries, and high capacity leaders who think in decades, not quarters. I also help lead a faith centered community for executives built around a truth most leadership content avoids: the work is genuinely heavy, and leaders deserve a place to carry it well. I come to every engagement as both an operator and a creative director. My focus is work that is expertly crafted and genuinely human, because that is what strengthens reputation over time.
