History doesn't repeat itself but rhymes. On this special episode, Jake and Gino interview John Dessauer. They give a sneak peek how wealthy not just create wealth but seize the opportunities like recession and pandemics to create more wealth. There are always going to be times when you feel the world is at halt, but that is the moment which calls for professionals to be active and be more productive. They talk about the right framework to build the personal brand and how you can generate wealth by leveraging it right. Your personal brand helps people and community to connect with you and that eventually helps you as a professional to create value and impact through your business.

He has done fix and flips, and bought properties directly from banks and other financial institutions. He is not just into multi-family but has also bought office buildings, a retail center, designed and created a successful restaurant, and have done several design and construction projects in the residential market.
