In this episode of idk about you, I sit down with Silvia Li Sam — CEO and founder of Slam Media Lab — to talk about her journey from immigrating to the U.S. to building a successful marketing agency from scratch during the pandemic. Silvia shares how she found confidence through writing on Medium, navigated loneliness post-pandemic, and how she built a new community through everything from hosting "friend dating" parties to pickleball.
What You’ll Learn:
✏️ How Silvia turned writing into a career-launching superpower
📦 The reality of starting over — from moving countries to rebuilding community
🤝Tips for making friends as an adult (yes, even after a big move!)
🦸 Silvia’s take on rejection, resilience, and why the worst-case scenario usually isn’t that bad
