What does it take to go from owning a restaurant for 25 years and working 90 hours a week to owning 1,100+ multifamily units and becoming a world-class mentor? In this episode, Mark talks with Gino Barbaro, co-founder of the massive real estate brand Jake and Gino, about the exact moment he decided to exit the "rat race."

Gino shares his journey of engulfing his life in personal development to break free from the restaurant industry.

Key Takeaways:
