In this episode of idk about you, I sit down with Silvia Li Sam — CEO and founder of Slam Media Lab — to talk about her journey from immigrating to the U.S. to building a successful marketing agency from scratch during the pandemic. Silvia shares how she found confidence through writing on Medium, navigated loneliness post-pandemic, and how she built a new community through everything from hosting "friend dating" parties to pickleball.

What You’ll Learn:

✏️ How Silvia turned writing into a career-launching superpower

📦 The reality of starting over — from moving countries to rebuilding community

🤝Tips for making friends as an adult (yes, even after a big move!)

🦸 Silvia’s take on rejection, resilience, and why the worst-case scenario usually isn’t that bad
