Jasmine Daya - Personal Injury Lawyer

Jasmine Daya developed a successful injury law practice in downtown Toronto leading up to the pandemic - in the down-time when courts were closed and business was slow, her entrepreneurial spirit saw opportunity in hospitality.

Today, Jasmine still practices the law but has reduced her hours on cases to focus on her 4+ nightlife establishments, and she's actively developing new projects in real estate.

This interesting conversation has a lot of insight for professionals considering leaving their professions to pursue entrepreneurialism and forms episode 54 of the StartWell Podcast.
