Vince Morgan is proof that you can make a career out of the things that you love. He grew up in the small northern Arizona town of St. Johns where there wasn't a lot to do outside of playing sports and exploring the local terrain. But that was more than enough for Vince, as he parlayed his passions into successful careers in both the freestyle motocross and professional hunting spaces. Now at the ripe age of forty, he is giving his body a break and directing his extreme competitiveness and discipline to the world of real estate at 72Sold. No surprise, he's crushing it...tattoos and all.

TRANSCRIPT EXCERPTS

It's right on the New Mexico border, past Show Low. You leave Show Low, go 50 miles east, that's where it is, high desert, painted desert style terrain. Of course, that's how I got into motocross. There's nothing to do in a small town, except ride dirt bikes, play sports in the school, and hunting, too, of course. Well, for a majority of it. Part of it, he coached briefly as an assistant, first got out of college, went to NAU, graduated, came down here, coached at Apache Junction High School for a little bit, Mesa High School. I think this was over the course of a year max, maybe. Then, he moved to Ganado, which is on the Navajo Reservation. To take traditionally Navajo people, they're really not into school sports, but he built a solid football program there. They beat and event went to the playoffs, first res school to ever go into the playoffs in the history of Arizona's high school sports. Oh, yeah, for sure. Not just me, but I mean, the whole town is that way. Me and my buddies, all of my crew of friends, third, fourth grade, we found a warehouse that one of my friends' dads owned. Well, it was full of junk. He'd never gone through it. We went through it and we found a ton of football gear, like old stuff from the '70s, like the single bar facing type gear, all for kids. We just did our own games. We all divvied up the gear and would go out. I actually knocked my front tooth out when I was in fourth grade, no mouth piece, nothing. Yeah, we just organized our own football games. Yeah. Tough people live there, farmers live there, a lot of farm industry, bigger Mormon families. They have 10-plus kids and they all farm and they're all tough as nails. Yeah, we'd come down here and play bigger schools and beat them. It would be a shock to them, "Where'd you guys come from?" My senior year, we were supposed to come down here and get destroyed. There was a Phoenix Christian high school. It's a smaller school, but they pull from all these other surrounding schools. If you're a top athlete doing another school and you're not getting treated fairly, you go to PC and you play. I think they have seven or eight kids go D1. There you go. They were supposed to destroy us. I mean, I walked out on the field and I'm like, "This is a college team." We ended up beating them 29 to 6, I think was the final score. It was all over the papers, like, "Who are these kids from nowhere that are tiny, but fast, and just destroyed this team that should've walked to the state championship?" I mean, the coaching that came from such a small town there, if you carry those things over in life you learn then, I mean, you can't not be successful. I've succeeded in everything in my life literally because of those people. The way David does things is innovative and it's new. That, coupled with 72SOLD method, it just produces. I mean, they're new guys doing ... We've got one new kid, Ari. He's not even 20, I don't think, yet. Maybe he's 20. I think he just sold 12 units last month.

She is the definition of a small-town girl, adapting to a big life in a big city.

"'Nobody cares about the storms you've traveled; all they care is did you bring back the boat.'" – Mike San Roman

Jerod (00:07:24):

Yeah. Yeah. And I think it's extremely, I think it's mostly knowledge based. I think people undervalue the true value of somebody that's done successful things in their life. Their knowledge is extremely valuable. And and that's kind of what I've been able to do well is kind of siphon off the knowledge and, and just listen. So that's why whenever we go somewhere and I ask, what does this person do for a living? Yeah. it's more cuz I just want to know how they got there. Cuz if it's interesting enough, I'll, I'll try and mimic the steps. Most of the time somebody's done it. And so that's what happened with Zach. I remember we went to a school dance and then after he was having friends over and so we went to his place, his dad drove us and I remember pulling up to his house and, and seeing it and I was, I'd never seen a house this big.

Trisha (00:37:57):

More on him. What is your favorite movie? I'll give you an easy one. Whew.

Jerod (00:38:02):

It's probably the blind side. Yeah, it's just it's shocker. Yeah, it doesn't, it definitely doesn't correlate in terms of any of his story. It's just the, the humbling feeling of watching it and just seeing somebody go so far out of their way to take care of somebody that just, they, they had no clue who he was. Yeah. And then giving him an opportunity. I, I think it just relates to my life on that sense. But any of that story really doesn't match mine at all.
