Why I Left TV News | Sam Augeri on Reinvention & Running Toward What's Next

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Former News 12 Long Island Chief Meteorologist Sam Augeri joins me to discuss what happens when the career you've built no longer aligns with the life you want.

After successful careers in television, both of us found ourselves at a crossroads that ultimately led us away from TV news and toward work that felt more meaningful. Sam shares how she created Sam's Weather School, an educational program designed to inspire children through weather and space science.

In the second half of the episode, we shift gears and talk running. With more than 20 marathons completed, Sam became one of the people I leaned on while training for the 2024 New York City Marathon. We discuss marathon training, motivation, mental toughness, and why running has the power to clear the clutter and reveal what you're truly capable of.

Whether you're considering your first race, training for a marathon, or navigating your own reinvention, this episode offers inspiration for the road ahead.
