John Gafford- Real estate mogul, top-20 podcaster, and former contestant on NBC’s The Apprentice releases his debut book

Gafford issues a wake-up call with his long-awaited book Escaping the Drift: How to Make the World Happen For You, Not To You

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Drawing on decades of experience building businesses, facing setbacks, and choosing purpose over autopilot, Gafford delivers a blunt, actionable blueprint for readers who feel stuck, complacent, or merely “coasting.” In the new book, Escaping the Drift, Gafford offers:

1.) An authentic voice and proven results. He doesn’t theorize—he’s lived the transition from drift to direction and now helps others do the same.
2.) A timely message. In a world where many “have it made” on paper—but quietly drift—Gafford tackles the epidemic of “good-enough” living. "Too many men confuse stability with success. They’ve got steady jobs, steady pay-checks, and steady routines. But inside, they’re stuck." - John Gafford, in an essay with The Good Men Project
3.) Writing with grit and heart: "Once I realized nobody was going to come save me, that’s when I started really saving myself."
Escaping the Drift is a wake-up call wrapped in a challenge. John isn’t here to give you fluffy words or empty motivation. He’s here to rip through the nonsense and show you the cold, hard truth about how to stop drifting through life. The book is perfect for business and entrepreneurship coverage, personal development features, or fatherhood and mentorship angles.
