164: Former NFL player Sam Brown on COMPOSURE overcoming adversity

June 20, 2025 • Matt Fulks/Sam Brown • Season 1 • Episode 164

Join us for Episode 164 of the C-10 Podcast, recorded live at Music Theater Heritage inside Crown Center with our C-10 students and mentors. Our guest, Sam Brown, shares a powerful story of resilience and transformation that captivated our audience.

After losing both parents by age 11, Sam's journey was shaped by the guidance of his 23-year-old sister and his own unwavering determination. From playing in the NFL and CFL to becoming a Project Engineer in the mechanical engineering field, Sam's path demonstrates the power of perseverance and adaptability.

In this inspiring conversation, Sam opens up about his latest venture, SB Impacts, where he creates supportive environments for individual and community growth. His message of personal development, self-reliance, and community impact resonates deeply with our C-10 mission of mentoring and leadership.
