  • Don’t Chase the Spotlight, Chase the Substance | Sam Hung | The Power Of Integrity Podcast
    Jul 10 2025

    What does it really mean to lead with integrity in finance, in business, and in life?

    In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo sits down with Sam Hung, President of Capital Gains Financial and Tax Services, for an honest, grounded conversation about building a practice rooted in transparency, clarity, and consistency.

    Sam shares his story of resilience from shutting down his family’s ice cream manufacturing business during the 2008 crash to building a thriving financial and tax advisory firm. Along the way, he explains how the values of honesty, simplicity, and accountability became the foundation for long-term success. You’ll hear how he integrates tax strategy and investment advice under one roof, why clients trust him with both, and how his "Bushido" philosophy, the way of the warrior, guides every business decision.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • Why clarity and transparency matter more than big promises in financial advising
    • How values-based leadership builds loyalty, autonomy, and client trust
    • What it means to choose integrity, even when it costs you

    🎙 Podcast Quote: "Don’t chase the spotlight, chase the substance. The spotlight fades, but substance lasts." – Sam Hung
