n this episode of Second Story, we sit down with Priya Sam, former CTV Canada AM host, who has reinvented her career more than once—and built something entirely her own in the process.
Priya takes us through her journey from the high-pressure world of corporate media to making the leap into the tech industry, and ultimately, to entrepreneurship. Today, she runs her own business, helping professionals through her Unleash Program. Priya has helped folks struggling in their careers harness the power of storytelling to stand out, connect, and advance in their careers.

We dive into:
- Why Priya chose to pivot out of a successful media career
- The challenges and lessons of moving into the tech world
- How storytelling can unlock doors in business and leadership
- The importance of owning your narrative in today’s corporate landscape

Priya’s story is one of courage, reinvention, and the power of finding your voice. Whether you’re navigating a career change, climbing the corporate ladder, or chasing a dream of your own, this conversation will leave you inspired to take that next step.

This is Priya Sam's second story.
