Sam Baddoo is just a kid from Accra, Ghana, who ended up in Columbus, Ohio. Sam’s upbringing was one of strict authority, beatings and lashings — but he never thought of them as abuse. These were the normal circumstances of his surroundings, and in a way, shaped him into the person he is today.
Life for Sam was great. His parents weren’t rich, but they had a very full childhood. Every year, his father hosted a group of students from a few universities coming together to discover Accra and Ghana. Sam was always looking at the people who are changing the world, and he felt a deep connection to the philosophy of doing things differently, but being exposed to this created a yearning to move beyond Sam’s immediate surroundings.
Sam created [re]start as a workforce development company that is reinventing the way people find and grow their careers. They don’t just try to place people in jobs like a typical recruiting firm would. They are truly motivated by how they can make a difference in somebody’s life and a difference in the community — and they use a unique set of tools, expertise, and networks to help people navigate that.
