LET'S TALK ABOUT
- Entrepreneurship
- Swag/Merch
- Life as a recovered addict
--
Jay’s path has been anything but traditional. His first step into media came unexpectedly—through a dry-cleaning job that led to an on-air role as a radio personality. From there, he leveraged his entrepreneurial instincts to partner with Jim Furyk to create a special event for the PGA Tour and played a key role in launching a startup private jet company—before ever stepping foot in one. He later carved out success in the elite market of St. Barths, building a real estate company and proving his knack for seeing opportunities where others don’t.
In his latest evolution, Jay transformed a struggling fitness business into a thriving merchandise and swag enterprise, once again demonstrating his ability to pivot and excel. Whether alongside the legendary UNLV Runnin’ Rebels basketball team or taking action on his latest idea, Jay charges forward with an entrepreneurial spirit, a sharp strategic mind, and the grit to face challenges head-on—fear and all.

As seen on
“Inside the Hampton group, Jay Sapovits is seen as something of a wise advisor.
For one thing, he knows what it means to build a huge company fast. After selling his first business, he joined Marquis Jet as an early employee and helped Jesse Itzler and Ken Dichter scale it from $0 to over $1 billion in less than five years.
That kind of experience is valuable.
But he’s also known hardship – with one failed business, and another that struggled to gain traction – and that kind of experience is priceless if you can find a way through.”Â
