Suzy Batiz’s story is full of resilience and resonance. She is the founder of Poo-Pourri, a $300 million company. She’s navigated through two bankruptcies and now she says she does nothing to make money, yet she has a lot of money because it’s a side effect. She’s not ready to sell because she’s still having fun.
