From Hiding His Stammer to 1 Million Followers | Sam Bagshaw

The Tom's Talks Podcast is a place where we speak to a vast array of people from different walks of life and find out what makes them them. We will speak about their unique journey and delve into the highs and the lows which ultimately define them. 

Sam Bagshaw has a stammer. He also has over a million followers online — and he built that by doing the one thing most people are too scared to do: showing up exactly as he is.

In this episode, Sam shares what it was really like growing up with a stammer, feeling isolated, and not knowing anyone who shared his experience. He opens up about the moment he decided to start posting online, why he never edits out the difficult moments, and how stepping outside his comfort zone has helped him build a platform that’s now changing lives.

This conversation isn’t just for people with a stammer — it’s for anyone who’s ever felt different, held back, or unsure whether their vulnerabilities could be a strength.

We also discuss what a stammer actually is, how to better support someone who has one, dealing with negativity online, and the habits that help Sam manage his mental health day to day.
