You know what they say about one man’s trash becoming another’s treasure, right? At the border, the journey from trash to treasure often involves an actual trip from San Diego to Tijuana, where things like furniture, appliances and other used or discarded objects find a second life.

Seth is a fireball who’s been through a lot in his cross-border life. But his struggles have only fueled him to keep going and growing. Today’s story kicks off a new season of "Port of Entry" focused on artists and musicians who’ve turned pain into superpowers.
