|E14| Roman Prokopchuk relives: Dealing With Negative Experiences & Harnessing It For Something Good

Roman is a 1st generation immigrant from Ukraine and arrived to the US with 6 family members to a 2 bedroom apartment. He was forced to become a self-taught digital marketer due to the 2008 recession, and realised his strong passion for it. He went on to become the founder of Nova Zora Digital, as well as host of the Digital Savage Experience podcast, which is a Top 100 podcast for 'How To'. After going through numerous miscarriages with his wife (two happening on Christmas Day), they decided to become foster parents on more than one occasion (a lot more!), and have given their selfless love and care to each foster child. No matter what hardships, Roman has learnt how to develop better coping mechanisms to deal with grief and negative experiences, and harness them for something good.
