## Resource

Welcome back to Tom Ferry’s Outliers Series—where we unpack the mindset and disciplines of agents doing extraordinary things. This week, Tom sits down with Mario De Santes, an Italian immigrant who arrived in the U.S. with $100, no English, and a willingness to do whatever it took. Fast forward 11 years… and he’s now a $1.25M GCI producer, commercial building owner, and fully present husband and father. But his journey wasn’t clean. In this episode, you’ll discover: The wake-up call that forced him to rethink success How coaching helped him hit a 10-year goal in one year The mindset shift that eliminated burnout The systems and energy standards that changed everything If you’re working hard but feel like something’s off… this episode will challenge you.
