Today on the show, Mike invites Barrett Bray, 2009 Texas Auction Academy Graduate and this year’s International Auctioneer Champion on to the show to talk about his journey through the academy and what he’s been up to since his ascension to Auction Champion in July.

At it’s core, auctioning isn’t just about selling. It can also be about giving. Mike talks about the history of Fundraising at Auction, how it can be more effective than simply passing the hat around, and shares a couple of candid stories about how a simple auction really can drive folks to get excited.
