Read more about sam:
Hi there, my name is Sam, social media manager, social media manager mentor, and founder of SamSchmidtSocial and The Loop. I am a former high school history teacher turned freelancer, and built my multi-six figure business from the ground up after ditching my “safe” career job. Since then, I have been able to bring back my passion for teaching in a new way, by mentoring other aspiring and scaling social media managers as they navigate entrepreneurship as well. My passion truly is being multi-passionate, and I believe social media management allows us multi-passionate entrepreneurs to find success and/or find our specialty. When I am not chatting all things SMM, I am attempting new Pinterest recipes, backyard chillen’ with my German shorthaired pointer Atlas, or finding new hobbies to hyperfixate on (for a couple months). Can’t wait to chat!
