(music) Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays podcast, where we cover three core topics: how to make money, how to invest money, how to give it away to charity. This guest has actually got me to come to his studio. Normally, you know I do this podcast inside of an RV motor home traveling around the country for the last two and a half years. You guys have helped us, support the podcast by sharing, commenting, liking, and subscribing. As you guys know, this podcast will be under 40 minutes for your listening pleasure because the average workout is 45 minutes, the average commute to work is 45 minutes, so this episode will be around 35 to 38 minutes. Now, I wanna dive right in. We're gonna cover these core topics with this person, this guest. You might see the book. If you're watching this on video, you might see his new book that just came out that's already topping the charts. He has covered all things real estate, been all through the grinds of business, so I'm very excited to introduce Jon Gafford. If you can, give us the quick two-minute bio, so we can get straight to the money.
John Gafford· Guest0:56
Two-minute bio. Uh, let's see. Fired by the 47th president of the United States on live television. Uh, yes, I was a- I was a candidate on The Apprentice. Uh, been in real estate now for about 20 years. Built what is the largest luxury real estate brokerage in Vegas. We sell more homes over a million dollars than any other firm. We're a completely vertically integrated firm, which means anything that you touch that happens to do with a real estate transaction, from mortgage, from title to solar to construction to anything, we own a part of. And through that business, we have been able to, like you said, with purpose-driven stuff, help a lot of great charities
