Sam Bakhtiar has been through it all: from an estranged father and being bombed by Sadam Hussein to foreclosure on a house, divorce, and bankruptcy. But now he has a multi-million dollar business, a doctorate degree, is a best-selling author, and has lived a life most people only dream of. His story, however, is not about the things money can buy. He redefines success by the things money can’t buy. In this episode Sam shares his life and experience, through immense highs and lows, and what it means to come back strong.
