Building a 1.6 Billion Dollar Business - Auction.com
Robert D. Friedman is most well-known for being the co-founder of Auction.com, one of the largest real estate auction firms in the United States. Rob is definitely one of those guys that learned more by doing than by studying in a classroom. He started an auto repair shop at the age of 19 making $100k/year, and then he used that as a springboard to start many other business ventures, mostly in the real estate industry. He has been working with his business partner, Jeffrey Frieden, for over 40 years. And together, they have participated in thousands of real estate transactions, grossing billions in sales. Rob is also involved in various charitable organizations. One of his proudest achievements is starting a school in Nicaragua called veraschool.org that educates bright, young girls in underserved communities. Go check that out to see how you can help.

From Prisoner to Multi-Millionaire with Garrain Jones
If there’s one thing Garrain Jones knows, it’s how to transform your life for the better. This guy has an epic story. Tough childhood events put his life into a downward trajectory that led him to selling drugs, stripping, going to prison, and becoming over $200,000 in debt. It seemed like every time he took one step forward, he’d take two steps back. Finally, he had enough and committed to changing his life. He moved to LA, starred in a Beyoncé music video, signed a $500,000 record deal with Ludacris, built a 7-figure business, wrote a best-selling book, helped his mom achieve her dream of going to fashion school, met and married his wife, and now helps others transform their own lives. In this episode, he shares how shifting your mindset is the first step to breaking unhealthy cycles in your life.
