How did John Assaraf transform his life from troubled youth to successful entrepreneur?
When somebody is interested, they come up with stories and reasons and excuses of why it can't be done or why they won't do it. It says they allow their current circumstances or their past failures and traumas to control their thinking, thereby repeating the same patterns over and over and over again, which lead to the same results. It says, but people who are committed...
upgrade their identity to match the destiny that they are committed to achieving. They upgrade their knowledge. They upgrade their skills. They upgrade what they believe. And then they take consistent action until it becomes second nature to do the things required to achieve the goals that you wrote down on this document that I know are achievable.
And now, Escaping the Drift, the show designed to get you from where you are to where you want to be. I'm John Gafford, and I have a knack for getting extraordinary achievers to drop their secrets to help you on a path to greatness. So stop drifting along, escape the drift, and it's time to start right now.
Back again, back again for another episode of, like it says in the opening, man, the podcast that gets you from where you are to where you want to be. And today, people in the studio, I've got somebody, I mean, living legend? next level thinker, doer of all things. This guy is somebody I met at one of my masterminds a couple of years ago, and I'm trying to get him through, man.
It just never works out. But again, Vegas being Vegas, everybody comes through eventually. And when I saw he was here, I hit him up immediately. I was like, I got to get you on the podcast. And being the giver that he is, he said, I'll be there. No problem. This is a guy.
that came from a troubled youth, as so many of us do, overcoming that by really leaning into mentorship, wound up to build his first big company, would be a Remax, where he had 1,200 agents. And trust me, I could tell you somebody that owns a real estate company, that is a lot. And we were just talking about it. They were doing like 35,000 transactions a year, which is insane.
exited that thing, co-founder of Bamboo IPX, which had a market cap of like two and a half billion. He's the CEO of NeuroGym, which is a company that's dedicated literally to changing how you think. He is a thought processor, a thought leader. He was in The Secret, and we are lucky to have him here in the studio. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. This is John Assaraf.
Hey, hey, great to be with you. How are you, man? I'm doing so good. It's so great that we're able to make this happen. I know. And you know what? And I didn't even include best-selling author three times.
It's all right. Three-time best-selling author. So, you know, you are somebody I want to talk a little bit about for people that aren't familiar with you. I want to talk a little bit about that early life struggles. Sure. Because I always like to dive into the nature versus nurture of success. So tell me about young John Asereff.
