Come on the journey with 2 veterans that have blossomed into a friendship as we have genuine talks sharing our adventures in the military, talks about veterans, funny stories, and every day life. Mike and I established this podcast to portray to other veterans or other people to be able to reach out to their friends, family, or even their wingman and have authentic conversations. The art of having a conversation is becoming extinct since the advancements of technology. We want to provide a platform that shows the art of conversing is not gone.
Only time people are going to really listen to you is that you have the proof or you have something they deem as proof to say you're successful.
On this episode, Izzy and Mike express that kids seeing there parents grinding it
out can be both a pro and con, especially with the advancements with social
media. The younger generation seeing their parents not being successful, are more
capable of changing their approach to try to be millionaires versus broke after
30yrs of working with a company. The majority of those are more willing to
express their duty titles, such as CEO, and not sharing the reality of how many
times there business failed. Mike shares that if the younger generation are
trying to be successful at an early age, are able to have failure early and
learn from it versus being 60yrs old and trying to be successful. Mike shares
that success leave blueprints, so those that are interested in wanting to be a
success are able to educate themselves from those that are currently
successful. In venturing into a business, individuals need to ask themselves “What
problem are we trying to solve?”, for that can open up various reasons to
create your own business. Mike and Izzy talk about what is the biggest fear
that people have in trying to be successful, and Mike reveals that an issue
people face is the fear of failure and the other is patience. The younger
generation need to have self-awareness that just because their parents didn’t
make it, doesn’t mean that they won’t make it, the times have changed to where
the resources of technology have created more opportunities. Don’t get upset
when you have the information needed for success and no one wants to listen because
you haven’t proved it to them but have the patience to understand if it is
important what they think or if you even care. Keep in mind that the only
person you should be in competition with is the future you

My time is more precious
On this episode, Mike expresses how he loves being
passionate about his work and it shows in his work ethic, but if you are not
passionate about being an entrepreneur then don’t focus on it and do something
that you care about it. Mike breaks down that in the beginning it was rough, in
debt, and had to scratch his way up to get where he is comfortable. Mike shares
his end goal in doing the work. It only costs $5K to rent out a private jet,
but some folks tend to get their pilot license. Knowledge is power, and if
people apply themselves to read and learn will be capable of applying it to
their business ideas or personal goals. People need to refocus their intentions
on what they want to be paid per hour versus what it can take for them to earn
that and invest in themselves. Learn your strengths and weaknesses and be
honest with yourself to know it. Mike shares his tips on people that want to go
their own route or do their own thing. To be a CEO and an entrepreneur are two
different people.
