Samantha's trying to stay optimistic this week as her team, the DC Doggos, face off against the San Francisco Spacers. She's realizing she needs to take small steps at a time towards her goal.

This week Samantha listens to her Monday Briefing from Kelsey regarding last week.  Last week was crazy, but Samantha is staying positive and hopes to earn "all the points" this week by working towards her goals.

This week Sam and Adena meet virtually for the first time to discuss their goals. Sam tells Adena about her podcast network, and Adena tells Sam about her dance and personal assistant business ventures.

Welcome to the Hot Mess Herocast, a podcast where Samantha will bring you along on her ~journey~ competing in the Akwai Hero's League. In this first episode, she tells you about her main goal of growing her podcast network and to... eat more? She also brainstorms ideas for her team logo: the DC Doggos! Thankfully, her friend Dani used to be a dog!
