In this episode of Forged for Manhood, I sit down with Sam Leeming — a human-first performance coach with lived experience as a professional sportsman and cancer survivor. At just 23, Sam’s life transformed when routine rugby knocks revealed a tumour in his chest.

Through resilience, grit, and a relentless mindset, he not only recovered but built a career guiding high performers to unlock their best selves. We dive into risk, resilience, and the pursuit of real fulfilment — where curiosity, creativity, and courage meet.

🔥 3 Takeaways:

• Healthy risk is the gateway to growth — it’s where curiosity and fulfilment live.

• True resilience is forged in setbacks — mindset determines the comeback.

• Shift focus from outcomes to graceful pursuit , that’s where we find peace and performance.

Welcome to the brotherhood. This is one you don’t want to miss.
