Today for our New Year's Eve week, I'm bringing you a very special episode with the  author of one of my favorite property investing books of all time!... 

Come to you from the United States, I’m talking with John Soforic, who wrote “The Wealthy Gardener: Lessons on Prosperity Between Father and Son”. 

An absolutely wonderful and key book for every property investor to read. 

It's part story, part principles. It is a combination of eastern and western philosophies in it that are absolutely essential for growing your wealth and leading a prosperous and fulfilling life. 

I'm going to have a lot of fun unpacking some of those key principles and takeaways with John and why I got so much out of reading the book, and I think you will too. 

So let's go inside.
