Summary

On this episode, Gino is with Lee Fjord, a Jake and Gino community member. Lee talks about his experience of joining the community.

It was then when he came out of his limiting beliefs and got into a 38-unit deal.

started taking phone calls and I am in Panovija, Florida, and I get on with a gentleman

1:50.4

named Lee Fjord and I'm trying to pitch Lee to join the community. And Lee must have thought
