Ever wondered what crazy levels of hustle and resilience it takes to go from broke and crashing on your mom's garage floor to becoming a real estate mogul and HGTV celebrity?

This is the raw, no-BS story of Tarek El Moussa. From making a measly $7k commission on his first short sale deal while the buyer flipped it for $130k...to risking it all and signing a contract to flip 13 houses for TV when he didn't have a clue how to fund or execute it...to having cancer not once but twice during the early days of Flip or Flop and still grinding through surgeries with a tube hanging out of his neck.

Tarek pulls no punches detailing the obsessive work ethic, making over 600 cold calls per day for years, and brushes with quitting it all that ultimately led to his success. You'll hear him admit "I butchered houses" when starting out and share the mindset shifts that allowed him to power through every setback.

If you want an insane dose of motivation from someone who overcame incredible odds through sheer force of will, this is a must-listen episode. Tarek's storytelling makes no excuses and takes no prisoners.
