In this episode of the Direct Selling SHIFT podcast, Blake sits down with John Tsai.  John’s journey in the direct selling industry is a testament to the power of willpower and resilience. Growing up in Vancouver as an Asian immigrant, he faced numerous challenges, including bullying and an overbearing father who doubted his potential. But it was a chance encounter with a retired man in Taiwan that sparked a shift in John's mindset. Inspired by the man's financial freedom and passive income from real estate, John dove into the world of direct selling. Through hard work and determination, he overcame setbacks, including a significant debt, and eventually built a successful career in both real estate and direct selling.  John's story is a reminder that success comes to those who never give up, who keep pushing forward even in the face of self-doubt and adversity.
