Chapter 1: She’s written her name on the wall at SNL; she’s written her own show ("Pause with Sam Jay," and her forthcoming special "Salute Me or Shoot Me," both on Max) But being more than her identity is her signature. When you see a fighter in the ring surrounded by her corner, you assume the corner is there to help her win her fight. But what if the fighter is there to help them win theirs? Meet Sam Jay. 

Chapter 2: Sometimes you have to leave home to find your place in the world, and your family to find out who you are: That journey will take you to a place you don’t recognize, a self you’ve never seen before. In Atlanta, Sam realizes sometime in her 20s that she has to grow up again--and along the way, uncovers more of her identity. “I just kept leaning into me.”

Chapter 3: You can spend a lifetime trying to beat the clock, but you can’t beat your opponent until you stop listening for the bell and start fighting for your dream.
