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

The more you get known, if you're getting known globally, you're going to knock out your local market, no problem. If you're in real estate, if I was going to be in right now, coming to Vegas and getting into real estate, I would be like, I'm the king of real estate in Vegas. I would start saying that.

Yeah. Because you got to be it, like just be it. And then all of a sudden your attention starts focusing on all the ways that you're going to be the king of Vegas real estate. Now you might hear that and me saying that on social media, yeah, this guy, where the hell did he come from? It doesn't matter what you think. It doesn't matter what the number one, number two, doesn't matter.

It's just the portrayal of that celebrity. So I started realizing, like, I got to become a celebrity in my space, get known globally. And I started going on podcasts, man. And that changed everything. I didn't even know. Here's the thing. A guy invited me on a podcast, 2019. He asked me three times. I said, no, no. And the third time he said, why? And I'm like, dude, I don't have an iPod.

So I was being interviewed and I noticed this feeling while I was being interviewed. You've had to feel it before as a guest before. I was like, shit, this is awesome. Somebody's showing interest in you. This isn't going to go out to people. They care about what you think and what you say. I was just like, this is amazing. I said, if I can bottle this, I'll be unstoppable.

So I got off that podcast. I called my assistant Kim at the time. I'm in the mortgage business. I said, Kim, clear the schedule. At this point, I was working maybe two hours a week in the mortgage business because we had to systematize. And I said, I got to be on podcasts every day. We just got to do this. And she's like, okay, but how? I don't know. Yeah. Like the how doesn't matter.

But more importantly, the who shows up. Well, that's part of the how, right? Yeah. Who not how. Yeah, I heard that before. But the who is part of the how. Yeah. Right? So. But you're the who. So that's why I'm saying that.
