We had the good fortune of connecting with Sam Ringdahl and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sam, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind my personal success has been Self Belief, i cannot preach it enough and is something i am not ashamed to speak about.

Self Assurance is a strength of mine, but being human i use to have an internal battle/belief i was never good enough.

After doing a belief change with my mentor to install the new belief of I AM ENOUGH through NLP (Neuro-linguisitc programming), i truly feel a weight lifted from my shoulders and it has been one of the biggest game changers for 2021.

Self belief has a huge role to play for the success of the Better Than Before brand also, because without the self belief for positive change, then the mission to impact 1 million becomes a heck of a lot harder.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What i feel sets me apart is my willingness to continue to be better, which has hit a whole new level in 2021. Everyday is a new opportunity to learn, grow and evolve to see what we are truly capable of, we only get one shot at this thing called life.

One of the things i am most proud of recently is going 12 months without alcohol and celebrating by running 25km, which is the furthest i have ever run. This was on the 24th of December, a moment i will never forget, it literally brought me to tears and gave me a sense of euphoria.

Also starting the the Better Than Before Brand which is based around the mission to better 1 million lives globally from little New Zealand, a country of only 5 million.

Working at Red Bull and Under Armour opened my eyes to what positive culture and branding is all about. I am overly enthusiastic to continue to do my bit to build an amazing environment to facilitate positive change.

To anyone that ends up reading this, you should never put any limitations on yourself, I BELIEVE IN YOU.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Auckland, New Zealand

* Have to rip out a podcast in the Better Than Before “Garage” Studio
* Check out the Auckland Sky Tower to get a good view of the city, can even jump off if you are an adrenaline junkie!
* See as much of New Zealand as possible the whole country is just an absolute gem,
* Eating, would definitely have to be some classic “kiwi kai” (New Zealand Food) fish and chips. Cant beat a home cooked meal either, i’m sure i could whip something up.
*Head along to a New Zealand rugby game at fortress Eden Park.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
This is a relatively stock standard answer, but the recognition goes to my family/friends first and foremost, without them i wouldn’t have the opportunity to live this wonderful thing called life. Everything i do is with them in my head and my heart, it is something i am passionate and proud of.

Secondly is to anybody that gave me a crack, believed in me, or has supported me. I am and will be forever grateful for this and will always continue to give more, take less.

Finally to anyone that doesn’t t believe in me i forever grateful for you too and wish you nothing, but the best. I respect your version of the world.
