The Block Called and He Ghosted Them for a Week - Marty Fox #79

Marty Fox was on a health retreat with his phone off when the executive producer of The Block started trying to reach him. He ghosted him for a week without realising. Six weeks after they finally sat under a tree with a bottle of wine, he was filming.

Marty Fox is the founder and CEO of WHITEFOX Real Estate and a judge on The Block. He and his wife Charlotte have done 14 flips. This is his second appearance, recorded at his house the day after the first, and his mother joins partway through.

What you will learn:

- The week he accidentally ghosted The Block, and the conversation that followed

- Why he says you become a different person every seven years, and what that does to a relationship you have been in for eighteen

- What he actually did when one of his agents' numbers fell away over six months

- The lion analogy, and why he says he is chasing harder now than he ever was

- Why his notebook is full of pages of achievements and contains no pages of mistakes at all
