I enjoyed opening my mind to new methods and ways of thinking, I enjoyed hearing successful people talk about their strategies for life and I enjoyed meeting a bunch of lovely new people and hearing their stories. I also enjoyed opening up a bit myself. - Susha
-------
I liked how it covered so many different aspects, from the dairy to the creative writing, the phys, and hearing from all the different experts in their fields. - Mim
-------
I liked the overall content of the course and that there was a mix of live sessions and pre recorded videos. - Roxana
-------
I think prior to the course one of my trepidation’s were the love zooms but I have really enjoyed them, the speakers were all very approachable and made asking questions easy and natural. As well as the speakers I have found the group fantastic, from day one I could feel that there was no judgement taking place and that everyone was there to support each other. On so many occasions the someone else asked a question that I hadn’t even realised I wanted to ask. - Jackie
-------
The course has been an impactful and positive opportunity to reflect on many aspects of everyday life, and how to improve mental processes from routine to mental tendencies/health. I have been a fan of the course schedule in which there was a session every weekday evening, I have enjoyed the Friday PIES sessions and have enjoyed the daily variance of talks. - Aron
Yes. I went into the course with a totally open mind as I had no idea what to expect and I think it exceeded my expectations. - Susha
-------
Yes, it did. I would say it is a good introduction into a lot of different subject and it certainly makes you think and makes you ask yourself a few questions. - Mim
-------
I didn’t have expectations of the course but I think you have to make the decision to get involved to benefit. - Roxana
-------
Yes definitely, as Sam has mentioned a couple of times on the course it’s important to recognise that this isn’t a residential course and that everyone on it is working/living life while taking part and as such how the course is pitched and how much content there is must be a fine balance. I have found that balance has been well met with a good amount of relevant punchy content including live sessions without unrealistic demands on our time. - Jackie
-------
Having never attended a course like this, and certainly never imagined doing so virtually, the course certainly exceeded my expectations. The meetings never fell flat or felt forced due to the online nature. Sam set the tone very well at the beginning of the course. Very grateful for the opportunity. - Aron
Just to say thank you very much, Samuel, for your passion and enthusiasm and your general care for your fellow humans! I really enjoyed it and it has definitely started me on the road to building better habits. Maybe we should have Thrive not Survive 2.0.2! - Susha
-------
Amazing content.
I would love to attend all day workshops expanding on some of the subjects. (not virtual) - Mim
-------
Thank you for helping. - Roxana
-------
I’ve really enjoyed the course, wish it was longer! The group have been fantastic, it feels as if it’s vetted how the group comes together, I’ve never smiled so much with a group of strangers while sharing the things in life I find the hardest! - Jackie
-------
Thank you for all your effort and time in constructing and leading this course. - Aron
Definitely - Susha

Already done. - Jackie

Yes - Aron
I have really enjoyed the variety of speakers and that every speaker has been approachable with the talks being interactive and not lecture style. Found the group has been a welcome community and somewhere without judgement. Charlie
-------
What I enjoyed the most from this course was how the content provided complemented each other so well and that the speakers had a common message. Some of it you may have seen in other sources, but I felt like it was all put together in a neat passage told from the view point of experience. Ben
-------
Really enjoyed the varied content the community and accountability. Gave structure and routine in evenings which was very beneficial. Encouraged a change in mindset. Lisa

Live zooms, meeting new people, Bob’s exercises. Becoming more confident. Making time for me. Getting outside. Go through life with Passion and Purpose.. Liz
-------
I really enjoyed the way it was put together in easy pieces, it was fun, engaging and incredibly thought provoking. I personally loved the way it aligned with where I am currently and has only made me want to push further. Ian
-------
Camaraderie, the speakers and the daily check sheets and speakers to help engage and keep myself accountable. Elissa
The course content and variety of speakers were certainly above what I was expecting. Charlie
-------
Yes, having followed Sam on Instagram for the last year and taking part in the BR360 training program I could really relate to the approach and found it very useful. I’m living the values now, not perfectly but it’s a big improvement on how I was feeling prior to the course. Ben
-------
Yes fantastic thank you excellent value for money. Lisa
-------
Exceeded. Liz
-------
It surpassed all expectations, absolutely loved it. Ian
-------
Absolutely. Elissa
Loved the overall atmosphere of the course, the friendly supportive community that developed. One reason that drew me to the course was that it came over as a gentle way to “thrive” and not forced positivity. Charlie
-------
Absolutely love the course excellent content and caring speakers
Thanks so much what a privilege to be part of the thrive not survive one. Lisa
-------
A huge thank you to yourself and the team. Absolutely loved every single part of this and feel like it’s only affirmed my current path. It’s allowed my previous thoughts to be opened and want to explore more.
I will be going back over it all and pulling out extra pieces I’m sure.
Thank you. Ian
-------
Thank you so much for putting this all together, it came at a time where I needed something to help reset my mindset. I can’t express my gratitude enough, I am really impressed by it all.
With all the speakers they were genuine, relatable and brought different things to the table, but you all had intertwining concepts. It was really interesting.
I tried something similar once, and it made me feel worse, and the person just came across as an unrealistic, arrogant money grab….so I wasn’t sure what to expect. All your speakers seem so kind and willing to help others succeed. Which I think is rare, your team is outstanding!!! Elissa
Definitely. Charlie
-------
The course has so much to offer from real people at an affordable entry point. Ben
-------
Yes absolutely recommend the course. Lisa
-------
Absolutely 100% yes. Liz
-------
Absolutely and already have. Ian

YES. Elissa
I’m so grateful to have the opportunity for Samuel to be my mentor. He provides a safe environment for you to grow and develop. My journey has only really just started and having him to guide and mentor me has been amazing and the push I needed. I’m excited to see where this journey goes.
Samuel is also an excellent listener and non judgemental. It is rare to have the opportunity to put your trust into someone who will then not judge you and who is there to guide you. He challenges you to think and to look within. He is truly amazing at what he does and has a gift for helping others.
The one to one sessions I have had with Sam have given me the tools and resources to both open my mind to new ways of thinking and focus in on what's really important. Sam is impartial, non-judgemental and a fantastic listener with a gift for putting you at ease, whilst being able to challenge you to consider all angles. Sam has also been a driving force for goal setting and accountability during our sessions.
Thank you Sam for taking the time to walk with me through my journey in life. I have enjoyed, and still do, our monthly zoom session. Thank you for guiding me and helping me see things as they are. I love that no matter what issues, worries or concern I bring to you, you somehow manage to turn them in a way that isn't complicated at all. Your clarity and experience certainly has helped me see through some difficult time.
I like that you actually push me and help me see things as they actually are rather than how I imagine them to be.
Our shared faith has been in the centre of our conversations, and it is great to bounce things off each other.
Mentoring is so different than counselling, of course it is still based on trust, asking question and analysing some deeply rooted past issues but it is also about a mutual understanding, sharing stories and experiences.
I’m on a journey, it’s intense weathering a storm one minute, a rainbow the next. I needed stability a person who would listen not judge understand my mental condition Sammy has been supportive, there when I need him. Given me ideas to get through the day and night. I would recommend Sammy to anyone who needs mentoring and guidance. He is never far away. He has given me the guidance and belief in starting my own business. Has empowered me to reach the finish line when others doubted it, baby steps I’m taking but walking tall. I wouldn’t be were I am today without his help. l need that support as only my inner circle can. I class Sammy as one of those important people who is supporting my ventures.
