Who is Kamin?
Kamin Samuel, PhD, is a trailblazing entrepreneur, transformational coach, and inspirational filmmaker who empowers women to rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and step into their full potential. As the first African American woman to serve as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Navy, Kamin’s journey began with breaking barriers in one of the most male-dominated fields. She served her country for nine years before transitioning into corporate America, where she rose to become the Vice President of Global Website Operations at a billion-dollar corporation.
But behind her impressive titles, Kamin faced her own struggles. Prior to her corporate success, she pursued entrepreneurship, only to find herself in bankruptcy and losing two homes to foreclosure. It was this humbling and life-changing experience that set her on a path of personal transformation—one that would later define her life’s work. She emerged stronger, combining her lived experiences with academic expertise, including a PhD in Positive Neuropsychology and three master’s degrees, to help others overcome their hidden barriers and create lives filled with success and meaning.
Today, Kamin is an internationally renowned business transformation coach who empowers women to shift their mindsets, unlock their potential, and redefine wealth and success on their own terms. Known as a “coach’s coach,” she is sought after by executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders who want to achieve exponential success while staying true to themselves. Her acclaimed and award winning books, including Increase Your Abundance Starting Today! and Wealth Creation for Coaches, co-written with Steve Chandler, have inspired countless readers to take bold action toward their dreams.
As a speaker and media guest, Kamin brings heart, authenticity, and actionable insights to every conversation. She’s passionate about helping women break through their fears, own the value of their skills and experience, and live lives filled with purpose and abundance. She has a special talent for turning challenges into triumphs, and her relatable, empowering message resonates deeply with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
In addition to her work as a filmmaker and coach, Kamin is a philanthropist and advocate for educational programs and veterans. She serves on the board of EduCare , a large after school program provider in Los Angeles, the President’s Advisory Board of the USS Iowa, and has a special partnership with The Book Bank Foundation in Atlanta, demonstrating her ongoing commitment to making a difference in the world.
Kamin’s story is one of courage, resilience, and transformation. Whether she’s sharing her own journey or helping others unlock theirs, Kamin offers the kind of inspiration that leaves viewers feeling empowered and ready to thrive.
