In this episode, I sit down with John Gafford, the owner of the largest luxury real estate brokerage in Las Vegas, leading over 550 agents and driving more than $2 billion in annual sales.

But John's story isn't just about money or success. It's about ownership of your life.

From his early days on NBC's The Apprentice with Donald Trump to becoming one of the most respected voices in luxury real estate, John shares how he built an empire rooted in radical honesty, unshakable self-awareness, and a growth mindset that never quits.

We dive deep into:

His early struggles and what it took to break into the real estate game
The lessons he learned from being on The Apprentice
How he turned obstacles into massive opportunities
Why concerts are his version of therapy
And the core principles behind his brand new book, "Escaping the Drift," — a guide to breaking out of autopilot and taking control of your life.

If you've ever felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure of what's next, this episode is your roadmap back to purpose. John doesn't just talk success, he lives it, and his story will make you rethink what's possible.
