Jason C., 28, Senior Product Manager
"Before working with Samuel my confidence and masculinity was fragmented. I knew that I had points in my life where I exuded these sides of myself - in sports, lifting, drinking, competition - but it wasn’t consistent throughout my day-to-day life.
I came to Samuel to work on groundedness, self-worth, and setting stronger boundaries. In relationships, I tend to bend towards the person I’m with and lose myself in service of them. It came from a place of fearing abandonment and rejection.
Working with Samuel, I’ve gotten better at owning my heart-centered nature and learning to integrate it into my masculinity and how I show up. I’ve become more confident in trusting myself and making decisions that are a must to live with integrity in my relationships, dating, and work settings."
Sam H., 27, Senior Corporate Manager
"Prior to working with Samuel, I felt stuck in life in my career, relationships, and general mental health. I knew that I was holding myself back somehow, but wasn’t clear on how to take the shackles off.
After working with Samuel, I was able to connect with myself on a much deeper level, understand my traumas better, and work on being able to like and appreciate myself more.
Through this understanding, I have gained a greater sense of security and confidence in myself as a man. I feel much lighter. And this has benefited me in all arenas of life, from being more willing to speak up at my job, to approaching dating with greater awareness of my attachment style and triggers, to being willing to vulnerably connect more deeply with friends. This process has been some of the most important and impactful work I will ever do for myself."
Aaron L., 36, Wedding Photographer
"When I started this program, I didn't realize how much of my life was shaped by people-pleasing — saying yes when I meant no, staying quiet to avoid conflict, holding back from being who I really am. That awareness alone changed things for me.
Since then, I've said no more, spoken up even when it felt uncomfortable, and trusted my own decisions in a way I couldn't before. I've also found more forgiveness and love toward my mom, and I've become far more confident and at ease socializing — especially with women.
Most of all, I'm proud of how much I changed in such a short amount of time, and that I'm no longer afraid to say what I actually feel."
Anbu V., 30, Startup CEO
"Before working with Samuel, I was all over the place in terms of my mentality, dating, confidence. I had just gone through a breakup for the first big dating experience, and Samuel helped me overcome that grief, pain, and get back out there.
Samuel helped me get to the root cause of all my issues, helping me understand the WHY behind my behavior. I was able to get in touch with who I was and learn how to prioritize myself.
I recommend working with Samuel because he not only helps you figure out the root problem that causes most of your issues, but then provides actionable steps to help you tackle and overcome those problems. He gives the proper time needed to you, whether in a session or out of a session and really caters the program to what you need and to help you advance your life goals."
Jacob B., 22, Competitive Weight Lifter
"Before working with Samuel, I wasn't comfortable with being confident — at times it actually felt uncomfortable to be. I had my own views of masculinity that weren't the healthiest, and there were times I didn't even know if it was okay for me to express it. When it came to dating, I didn't know how to relax and be present — I always felt expectations weighing on me.
I came to Samuel because I was entering a new chapter of life and wanted to feel more confident, especially with women.
Since working with him, I've felt comfortable expressing my own masculinity and have changed the views I used to hold about what masculinity even meant. I've started going on dates without that same pressure, and I'm able to actually be present and enjoy them.
I recommend working with Samuel because there aren't many coaches — especially Asian coaches — who can relate to the cultural struggles that come with this. Having someone who's lived through the same experiences made me feel not just more comfortable, but at peace."
Liam H., 40, Engineer
"Working with Samuel gave me a much deeper understanding of self-awareness — what I'm actually feeling, why I feel it, and how to start healing wounds I'd ignored my whole life. That alone will serve me for years to come as new situations arise.
We also explored things like sexuality and masculine energy — topics I'd genuinely never discussed or learned about before, even though they're such important parts of manhood. I realized my discomfort in these areas had left real gaps in my development, and just beginning to face them felt like a huge step toward becoming my best self.
One of the biggest shifts was understanding what positive masculinity actually looks like — leading my family, embodying that grounded 'King' energy, and embracing my sexuality instead of fearing it. I used to think avoiding my sexual urges made me safer, but I learned that fear is exactly what pushes things sideways into behavior that feels indirect or uncomfortable. Accepting that part of myself instead has let me be more honest, more at ease in my own skin, and more upfront with people.
I also came to see anger differently — not as something to suppress, but as a real catalyst for change, decisiveness, and holding my boundaries. Learning to 'take up space' instead of constantly weaving around everyone else has completely changed how I move through the world."
