Most real estate brokers waste fortunes training new agents. John Gafford built a 550-agent luxury brokerage doing the exact opposite—and became #2 in the Vegas market in just 3 years.In this interview, John breaks down:

✅ Why he ONLY hires successful agents (and never trains beginners)

✅The free morning email system that recruits top talent from competitors

✅How most agents make six figures but build zero wealth

✅The "private club" business model that makes winners want to join you

✅Why being the #1 biggest brokerage actually kills your profits

✅The 90-day test that eliminates bad hires before they cost you

✅How his wife's "gut check" saved him $2M+ on business deals

John also shares the philosophy behind his new book on "escaping the drift"—why most entrepreneurs are sleepwalking through success and how to snap out of autopilot mode.If you're building a business, recruiting a team, or feel stuck making money without building real wealth—this conversation will change how you think about growth.
