Escaping the Drift with John Gafford
From Chaos to Podcast Success: Mike C-Roc's Journey of Transformation and Innovation

But it cut my teeth in a lot of things like building rapport with strangers, presenting. That's where you learn how to sell? Asking for the money. Yeah, all the stuff that goes along with selling, it was in-home sales. That was the first spot. Yeah.

So I was in in-home sales for nine years. And eventually saw my buddies making money in real estate. And I'm like, they can do it. I hate to say that sometimes, but I always say that. Like, dude, if John could do it, I know I could do it. Bro, don't apologize to me. Sorry, my life. But I believe in myself, man. I have a firm belief in myself.

If I see somebody, a human being doing something and I want to do it, I think I can do it. So I saw these guys making money in real estate. And now looking back, they weren't top real estate agents, but they were making more than I was making at the time. Yeah. So I just started asking questions. And that was in 05. Yeah, 05. And I had my real estate license for a year.

I became top listing agent, top selling agent in the first year based on all the hustle and the grind. And I knew how to do. And then I said, you know, I don't want to deal with this driving people around every day and all this stuff. I looked at the guy that I was sending my loans to or my customers to for loans. It was my best friend I grew up with. And I said, dude, I'm coming to work for you.

He said, no, you're not. I said, I'm coming to work for you. Because I was his top referral partner. And he's like, I don't want to lose that. Trust me, I'll make you more money than we're making right now. So I came there, learned the business. I drove an hour and a half each way for five years to go to the office because we didn't have a lot of remote access then.

It was just coming on where you could tap into your computer, but it was like... The technology just wasn't there. So I worked in a boiler room and 06, I guess it was November of 06, I started in the mortgage business right before the crash. Amen, brother. We were doing all the loans, like the two-year arm loans, subprime, all that stuff. And mostly refis at the time.

And the first year, cracked six figures first time ever. And then I just went up from there. Eventually started managing. I always aim to up level. I'm always like, okay, who's at the next level? What are they doing? What do they know that I don't know? Because I came to find out that anything that you want in life, if you want to up-level, you're not getting something that you want.
