Before Jon Grauman was selling homes in Beverly Hills, he was trying to get people onto a dance floor.
Jon joins Jay and Gary to trace a career that moved through rave promotion, the music business, mortgages, and real estate. He shares the early experiences that taught him to build relationships, take a chance on an idea, and stay with the work when results were slow.
Behind the polished public image are uncertain months, rejection, and decisions that did not come with a guaranteed outcome. They discuss the people who helped along the way, the value of continuing to learn, and the difference between admiring someone's success and understanding the years behind it.
