This week on Here's What We Know, we're welcoming back our very first three-time guest, Sam LaCrosse! From Olympic athletes to comedians, we've had some incredible conversations—but Sam always brings fresh, thought-provoking insights.

If you're looking for an honest, down-to-earth conversation about life, business, relationships, and staying true to your values—this episode is for you.

In This Episode:

• The power of consistency in content creation and how it’s helped Sam (and can help you too!) stay ahead.
• His bold leap from corporate life to building the Value Economics Academy—and scaling it with heart.
• A candid chat on modern dating dynamics and the rise of the “passport bros” movement.
• Why Sam believes therapy culture sometimes replaces valuable family conversations, and how self-reliance plays a role.
• Insightful tips for entrepreneurs on building businesses that stay true to personal values.
• A heartfelt look at how parenting is often misunderstood in today’s society as a “burden” instead of a source of fulfillment.
