Sam Coates belongs on the world stage of talented, engaging interviewers.
Memphis is lucky to have Sam who gives is world class abilities to this market.
His story-telling, cadence, pace, authenticity, and commitment is unmatched.
As a former Memphian who loves to keep connection to the city, I especially love hearing these stories from respected Memphis business leaders. Sam has a natural ability to drive free-flowing conversation and allow his guests to take center stage.
So impressed with Kat. Authentic, vulnerable and smart. So grateful to have listened
Very thought provoking. Sam is so good at asking questions that get the people he’s interviewing to open up. His podcast with Kat Gordon would be beneficial for any of us in assessing our motivations in life. She is so honest about missteps and doubts she’s had along the way, yet was willing to adjust the course of her very successful business. Good lessons in life here!
I really look forward every week to see what conversations Sam is going to bring on the show. Love how he has guest from all walks of life and fields. But all have the same thing they are driven.
