This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur, fashion designer, and America’s favorite bridal expert on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress, Hayley Paige formerly known as Cheval! Previously when Hayley Paige was on the podcast, we discussed her impressive rise to success in the fashion industry. However, that success eventually led to her being in a legal hot set when she was sued by her former employer on control of what believed was her own brand and social media accounts and even her name, forcing her to give up much of her hard work that she put in throughout the entirety of her career.  Hayley opens up about the significant changes in her life since her last appearance on the podcast. She discusses the challenges she faced, including being unable to use her own name to continue her career as a wedding dress designer due to a federal lawsuit. She shares the pivotal moment that turned the case in her favor, and how unexpectedly landing in bankruptcy court ultimately became a major win.
