Welcome to episode 42 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! This one is a deeply personal and special one. My guest is Sam Hope—Director of the Forbes Club, an incredible young entrepreneur at just 22, and more importantly, my best friend. Sam and I have been through everything together, from extreme highs to crushing lows. At one point, we were sharing a mattress on the floor of a studio apartment because our bed got mouldy. We merged our bank accounts just to scrape together enough for groceries and keep a roof over our heads. Those tough times shaped us, not just as individuals but also as a team. Now, we look back on those moments with pride, knowing they were the foundation for everything we’ve built since. They’re also just amazing memories to look back on. They are comparison points. Beyond the rawness of our shared story, we also dive into what makes Sam so extraordinary: his unparalleled networking skills. Sam has this rare ability to make people genuinely invested in him and his vision. He doesn’t just walk into a room—he owns it, leaving a lasting impression that gets him into spaces where opportunities flourish. In this episode, he breaks down how he does it and shares actionable insights on how you, too, can become a networking powerhouse. If you’ve ever wondered how to connect with people in a way that’s authentic and impactful, or if you’re facing challenges and need some inspiration to keep going, this conversation is for you. Sam’s wisdom, grit, and expertise will leave you motivated to level up your life, whether you’re an entrepreneur or just trying to figure things out.

Welcome to episode 41 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! Today I sit down with Stefan Torres, a social media sensation who’s known for his cooking and food review videos as well as his outgoing and energetic nature.  Over the past eight months, Stefan’s online presence has exploded, but his journey to get here is quite extreme to say the least. Certainly not just an overnight success. Stefan opens up about his early years, slipping into the party and drug scene and eventually battling a 10-year addiction to ice. He shares his raw story of overcoming addiction, the lessons learned, and the struggles he faced along the way. Now a proud father of two young girls, Stefan reflects on what genuinely matters to him today, from family to the values he wants to instill in his kids. Tune in to hear how Stefan turned his life around, proving that no matter how deep you go, there’s always a way back.  Follow Stefan: https://www.instagram.com/thestefantorres/ [https://www.instagram.com/thestefantorres/] Thank you Papa Macros!
