So relatable! I needed a little nudge

This was a great boost for my motivation. Been listening to it on my way to work and it’s awesome. I gifted it to 2 friends while still listening to it.

Must read!

John gives great insight on how to get your motivation up and life back on track. Amazing stories and life lessons. If you feel stuck this book is for you!

Level Up !!!

This book is relatable to anyone with the desire to improve your personal and business life.

A Relatable, Real, and Relentless Book!!

John’s no-BS approach to escaping the drift isn’t your typical book about mindset, business, and life. He shares real-life stories of not just the wins, but also the setbacks and what he learned along the way. “If it’s not in writing it doesn’t exist” No losses, only lessons. REAL.

As a father of two boys and a business owner with an ego of my own sometimes, I connected deeply with the journey he takes you on and the no-fluff way he breaks things down throughout the chapters… “The Peanut M&M story” being one of my favorites. RELATABLE.

Hearing how he bounced back from the challenges he’s faced over the years, while sharing actionable ways to approach and overcome the ones I deal with was a powerful reminder why I do what I do. RELENTLESS.

Thanks for one hell of a book Gafford, looking forward to the next one!!

No fluff, straight to the Chase!

John has lived it and his real world examples of being in the drift and escaping it are impactful. Take notes and apply some of these actionable items to level up. No BS here. A must read for any leader looking to hone in their focus and personal growth.
