This week on Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with John Gafford — luxury real-estate entrepreneur, speaker, media personality and host of the hit podcast Escaping the Drift. John shares how he transformed a hospitality start-up into a top-performing brokerage and multiple business ventures, then built a personal brand around helping others stop living on autopilot and start leading with purpose.
🔍 Episode Highlights
* From owning a college bar in his early 20s to founding Simply Vegas — a luxury real-estate firm known for exceptional results and a selective high-performance culture.
* John’s transformation from appearing on The Apprentice to becoming a top business coach and media host — and how that pivot taught him the importance of surrounding yourself with winners.
* The mindset framework John uses: Resilience, Grace, Passion, Humility and Empathy — and how leading with these values creates sustainable business growth.
* Why he believes most entrepreneurs fail because they fall in love with their idea instead of solving real problems — illustrated by the story of his failed supplement company.
* Actionable strategies Ross and John unpack for listeners: how to break out of passive living, how to build a culture of excellence, and how to scale with integrity.
