What does it really take to rebuild your life after hitting rock bottom?
In this episode of the Get Smart With Money Podcast, Dayna sits down with Jay Sapovits, President of Ink'd Stores, serial entrepreneur, and someone whose remarkable journey proves that our greatest challenges can become our greatest strengths.
