In our last Baskets of Knowledge episode for 2024, we sat down with the incredible Sam Landers, a young man from rural Taranaki, who’s rewriting the rulebook on what’s possible. From missing out on medical school the first time around to running 200km for charity, refereeing rugby finals, and embracing imposter syndrome, Sam’s story is one of grit, growth, and purpose. Sam’s achievements aren’t just about personal wins, they’re about lifting others along the way. Whether it’s raising funds for the Cancer Society or inspiring others to believe, “If you put your mind to it, you can do it,” Sam embodies the spirit of paying it forward. What to expect in the episode: How setbacks became stepping stones toward his dreams. The wild stories behind his physical feats, like running 67km in one night. How he handles the pressure of studying medicine while chasing big goals. His unique mantra: “Don’t strive to make your presence known; but instead your absence felt" Trust us you don’t want to miss this one. Sam’s humility, drive, and authenticity will leave you inspired to tackle your own challenges head-on. Ready to add something amazing to your basket of knowledge? Tag anyone who needs this dose of inspiration! Enjoy Prajesh and Tane
