Who Am I?

I’m Sam Penny - Coach for the Brave.

For over 25 years, I’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with founders, executives, and business leaders who refuse to play it safe. People who know they’re capable of more, but keep hitting the same walls - overwhelm, stalled progress, or simply not moving fast enough.

I know that struggle personally.I’ve built, scaled, and successfully exited multiple businesses - including two that broke the $1M/month mark. I understand the pressure of big goals and the frustration when momentum stalls. Execution isn’t just what I teach; it’s what I’ve lived.

Outside the boardroom, I push limits in even colder waters.
I’ve swum the English Channel, and I’m the only person in the world to attempt it in winter. I’ve taken on extreme endurance challenges, all driven by the same philosophy I bring to my clients: you’re capable of far more than you think - if you dare to move.

As a TEDx speaker, I share real-world lessons on resilience, mental toughness, and what it truly takes to unlock peak performance. No rubbish. No someday-mindset. Just brave action, sharp execution, and real results.

If you’re ready to stop circling your goals and start charging towards them, you’re exactly where you need to be.

What's the Brave Sprint?

This is a 90-day sprint built for leaders who are done waiting and ready to move.

We cut the noise, build momentum, and push you through the barriers holding you back.Here’s what you’ll get:

  • A 2-hour Deep Dive Strategy Session - We’ll rip apart the roadblocks and build a clear, aggressive action plan to move fast.
  • Weekly Strategy Calls - Focused, high-impact sessions to keep you sharp, accountable, and always moving forward.
  • Daily Check-ins - Morning and night — because momentum is built in the daily grind, not in once-a-week pep talks.
  • Proven Frameworks - You’ll get my Topify Method book and Productivity Planner — real tools, no fluff, to accelerate your execution.

This isn’t coaching as usual.
This is high-performance, high-accountability transformation for leaders ready to stop circling their goals and start attacking them.

Ready? Book your free Discovery Call.
