From frustration to fruition, Saintly Bags founder, Sam Payrovi shares how to build a business by solving a problem

I was introduced to Sam Payrovi, by previous show guest, Maggie Oldham from Episode #12. I am always grateful for introductions, and this week I am exceptionally grateful because the insight Sam shared into how he created an authentically American Made product is incredible.

One of the most interesting moments of the show (around the 8-minute mark) came when Sam shared his story about how and why he chooses to manufacture his weekender bags in New York. When he decided to make a customized bag, manufacturers, family and friends all told him that it couldn't be done - well he sure proved them wrong. Not only is he doing it, but received an A+ rating from Men's Journal in the process.

Sam also talks about how starting Saintly, has lead to a new endeavor, "Custom Consortium," which is going to be a game changer!

He gives away so many gold nuggets for entrepreneurs throughout the show.
