Sam Goodman is a student of the human condition, whether it’s found on a factory floor, in a hospital, or at the family dinner table. With a career spanning two decades, he has relentlessly explored the absurdities, tragedies, and occasional triumphs of how we work and live. This journey has made him a globally recognized voice in Human & Organizational Performance (HOP), but his work is about much more than corporate acronyms. As the founder of The HOP Nerd LLC, Sam operates on a simple premise: genuine learning is the only thing that matters. He’s a consultant, keynote speaker, and trusted advisor to leaders in the world’s most critical industries, from nuclear power to healthcare. He's also the host of "The HOP Nerd Podcast" and a comedian whose viral videos cleverly dissect the nonsense of modern work. But at his core, Sam is a writer. He’s the bestselling author of industry-shaking manifestos like Safety Sucks and practical guides like 10 Ideas to Make Safety Suck Less and Aren't You Curious?. He created the wildly popular "Starting Points" card decks not as a gimmick, but as a way to force the real, human conversations that lead to actual learning. His latest work, Lessons from Dad, steps away from the workplace to explore the fundamental lessons that shape us all, cementing his place as an essential observer of life in all its messy, complicated glory.
