Arun Jagtiani

Arun Jagtiani is no stranger to adversity. After a minor marijuana-related arrest turned his life upside down, he was forced to confront the harsh realities of the legal system, societal stigma, and the mental toll of rebuilding from scratch. But instead of letting that moment define him, Arun used it as fuel to rewrite his own story—one of resilience, reinvention, and success on his own terms.

Today, Arun is a successful entrepreneur, real estate expert, and author of The Best Weed I Never Smoked: A Rebel’s Journey to Success, a raw and unfiltered memoir that dives into his personal journey, the injustices of the legal system, and the mindset shifts that helped him rebuild his life. His story isn’t just about overcoming obstacles—it’s about challenging traditional definitions of success, failure, and second chances.

Arun has been featured on HGTV’s House Hunters International, Caribbean Life, and NBC’s Open House, sharing his expertise in real estate and personal transformation. He is passionate about having real, honest conversations about the struggles people don’t talk about enough—whether it’s the hidden consequences of the war on drugs, the loneliness of personal growth, or the mental resilience needed to push through life’s toughest moments. Through his experiences, he hopes to inspire others to reclaim their own narratives, no matter what life throws their way.
