2020 – 2021 saw Sam join the cast of Australia's longest-running living and lifestyle show, Better Homes & Gardens' as their resident health and fitness expert. Sam's huge online following has resulted in a number of longstanding ambassador roles with trusted Australian brands such as Birdseye (Simplot). He has also collaborated with a number of high profile and well-respected brands that align with his ethos, such as A2 Milk, Mayvers, ANZ, Birdseye, MYOB and HoMedics.
