When Pain Pushes You Into Purpose”- Let’s Talk Nonprofit Host & “Nonprofit Guru” Torri Hicks sits with recipient of President Obama’s Champion of Change Award, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Former VP of Operation Hope, Advisor of Citizen Trust Bank, and Founder/Chairman of the Phoenix Leadership Foundation, James “Jay” Bailey, for an up-close and personal interview. Jay shares his personal journey of being a young millionaire in a rising real-estate industry to quickly losing everything and having to sleep in his storage unit.
