Sam Cawthorn. Transformation Through Tragedy

From Tragedy to Triumph: Sam Cawthorn on Faith, Influence, and Marketplace Ministry
What happens when a near-fatal car accident becomes the catalyst for a global calling?
In this compelling episode of Monday Movement, host Mark Bilton speaks with Sam Cawthorn, CEO of the Speakers Institute Group, about what it truly means to lead with faith in today’s marketplace. Sam’s story is one of radical transformation. From surviving a devastating head-on collision that cost him his right arm and nearly his life, to rising as a globally recognised speaker and entrepreneur, his journey is nothing short of remarkable.
This is more than a story of resilience—it’s a testimony of surrender, obedience, and walking out your calling in the secular world with integrity and purpose. Sam opens up about his personal walk with God, how he integrates biblical values into his business, and why he sees his work not just as a job, but as ministry.
If you’re a Christian called to lead in business, this conversation will encourage you to see your current season as part of something much bigger—an opportunity to be salt and light in the places God has placed you.
