#229: Overcoming Adversity: Dr Sabrina Kay's Incredible Story of Escaping South Korea and Building a Billion-Dollar Empire in America

Imagine growing up under South Korea’s oppressive regime. You must do as you’re told, look and act a certain way, and from age 13 you start military training. But then, at 18, you have the opportunity to escape and move to the USA – without any money or English skills. This was the beginning of Dr Sabrina Kay’s story of becoming a serial entrepreneur, investor, and board member. After years of hard work and dedication, her first business sold for $25 million, and after using that money to build several other businesses, she sold them for a staggering $3 billion!
