Dom L'Amour speaks with good friend Sam Niehaus AKA @samuel_henry_niehaus about Moving across the country, working on yourself, my struggles with being a Vegan and so much more.
What sparks a monumental life change? In today's episode, we explore just that with Sam Niehaus, who left the familiar streets of St. Louis for the rugged beauty of Denver. Sam's story is a testament to the transformative power of embracing new adventures—from snowboarding down Colorado's powdery slopes to soul-rejuvenating hikes through Mesa Verde. His move wasn't just about changing geography but about nurturing a newfound love for the outdoors and rekindling his musical passions by joining a local band.
Engaging on social media isn't just a modern necessity; it's a lifeline for musicians and cultural enthusiasts alike. In our conversation, we unpack the significance of digital support in amplifying artistic voices and fostering a sense of community. Sam and I touch on the enriching experiences that come from stepping beyond one's comfort zone, highlighting how diverse adventures can expand our understanding and appreciation of different cultures and our own country. Leadership, in many ways, is born from these very explorations, and seeing friends grow through such journeys is truly inspiring.
Our chat takes a delicious turn as we reminisce about the culinary gems of St. Louis, from savory pork steaks to the mouth-watering delights at local spots like Venice Cafe and the Gramophone. We also tackle the personal challenges and rewarding aspects of transitioning to a vegan lifestyle, sharing stories of family dynamics, societal judgments, and the joys of discovering new foods. Wrapping up, Sam and I reflect on our individual paths to happiness and success, emphasizing the importance of supportive relationships and the relentless pursuit of our passions. This episode is a heartfelt celebration of growth, community, and the beauty of embracing change.
