In this episode, Brock Montgomery sits down with Sam Goodwin — best-selling author, NCAA hockey player turned world traveler, and one of the few people to visit every country on Earth. Sam’s journey includes playing hockey in North Korea and surviving captivity in Syria.

Sam shares his story of navigating post-concussion challenges, chasing his dream to travel the globe, and the lessons he learned after being taken hostage. Together, they explore themes of resilience, mental health, personal growth, and the power of family support during life’s most difficult moments.

Sam’s inspiring story is captured in his best-selling book Saving Sam, available everywhere books are sold — including Amazon.

Whether you’re an athlete, a traveler, or someone looking for inspiration to face life’s uncertainties head-on, this conversation will leave you motivated and encouraged to take action, even in the face of adversity.
