EVERYONE loves a story. Real-life stories, even more. Sam Thiara has mastered the art of storytelling and has also done two TEDx talks on the subject. In his interview, he will show us how to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Sam Thiara is a speaker, storyteller, writer, educator, mentor, coach, entrepreneur, problem solver, and community activator.
He developed CARE to show us how we can help others - especially during this pandemic.
There is a need for us to CARE
CARE stands for Collaboration, Adaptability, Resilience and Empathy
Collaboration – we are not in this by ourselves – look around how you can support others and they can support you
Adaptability – we must be willing to change – we have all needed to change, how are you being adaptable to thrive and not only survive
Resilience – we are in a marathon and we need to build our stamina to get through the pandemic
Empathy – showing care and compassion to each other – we have no idea what people are going through so let’s be kind

A search for the past. An identity reclaimed.
This moving memoir by speaker, educator, and entrepreneur Sam Thiara documents his seemingly impossible quest to find his grandfather’s village—armed with little more than a faded photograph.
Sam vividly recounts his adventure through India’s crowded roads—a journey filled with mishaps and surprising encounters, and a growing sense of purpose.
Along the way, Sam also wrestles with his sense of self. A British-born Indian, living in Canada, whose parents came from Fiji, he questions: Am I Indian? Am I Canadian? Who am I?
As he begins to piece together the puzzle of his history, Sam realizes he is piecing himself together, too. Touching and inspiring, Lost and Found is a book for anyone who has felt adrift in the world, confirming that what was once lost can be found.
