*******************

Justin Ford is an author, speaker, coach, and a top producing ICON real estate agent with eXp Realty ranking in the top 1% in the USA! More importantly Justin is a Husband, Dad, Grandpa and follower of Jesus residing in the Metro Detroit, MI area.

Justin didn't start at the top or with an unfair advantage, matter of fact it is the exact opposite. Justin comes from a broken home, he dropped out of high school, is a convicted felon, a former drug addict & alcoholic, and his life got so low that he drank water out of a toilet while in jail due to dehydration. If anyone shouldn't be successful, it's Justin! As Justin says it best, it doesn't matter how you start, what matters is how you finish! Justin's struggles and his past didn't stop him from creating success and whatever you are going through in life shouldn't stop you.

On this podcast Justin will share with you principles, strategies, and information that will empower you to break free from any circumstances and help you break through any limitations and obstacles that are holding you back from living the life that you ultimately want to live.

Justin will regularly interview guests that have also created success despite adversity pertaining to faith, finance, marriage, business, health, and so much more!

Be prepared to be Unleashed!
