Aug 22, 2020

Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeffrey Holst, a recovering attorney who spends his time as a real estate investor and is also co-host of the Old Fashioned Real Estate Show. He succeeded in his career as an attorney, but then he hit rock bottom in life-altering circumstances when he got diagnosed with leukemia and faced bankruptcy simultaneously.
