006 The VIP at VIP Brian Garland 

My guest today is my friend and mentor, Brian Garland. Brian has a very diverse job description, but at the end of the day he is an entrepreneur, a father of 3, and an amazing salesman. I've had the pleasure of knowing and working for Brian and his family for the past five or six years at their Christmas Tree Lot, and I've gotten a much better idea of what they do. He has his fingers in many different industries and he knows people in many different circles. He's one of the most well connected people that I know, and it pays off. On this episode, Brian shared how he got his start in business, some of his favorite deals and best stories, how his company became the liquidation company for the Georgia Dome demolition, his advice for young people, and what it's like being in business with his family. I want to Thank Brian again for being on the show and giving us his opinions and insight into what he does.
