I’m Samorn Selim. 

I’m a lawyer turned career coach on a mission for us to take our careers from dread to joy. As the daughter of poor Lao refugees, I was told to pay my dues.

After coaching over 1,000 clients, I now realize that the idea that you have to pay your dues and work in a toxic place is a myth. 

We can face our challenges head on, do work we are passionate about, and work with good people with kind hearts to make a big impact. So even as we struggle, we can find a sense of belonging.

Are you feeling hopeless because of race relations in America?  

In this episode with Antonio Ingram (Assistant Counsel at the NAACP LDF), we discuss how:

- To have hope, especially after the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict.

- As the descendants of slaves, he is able to clerk for two Black federal judges and make law and policy.

- To escape being an indentured servant in corporate America by not being afraid of poverty, and focusing on happiness.
