  As a successful business owner, Samantha Rossi found her true passion in turning around and helping other business owners succeed. As a funeral director starting out, she managed and improved other people’s businesses, hiring and training employees, handling renovations during business operations, helping owners buy and sell, and much more in the 24 hour/day funeral business. She knows that by keeping business - such as social media, accounting, branding, bookkeeping and more - within one consulting group, she can keep all aspects running smoothly instead of working against each other. She finds the most rewarding part of her business at Straight Paths, Inc. to find the happiness of the business owners and employees because she believes once you find what fuels a person their work improves and their clients are more happy.
