We prefer tea, not coffee, and we’re not sorry. Tea with Mike is a storytelling-based podcast where people from varying fields come together for conversations on who they are as individuals, and how they have achieved a degree of success professionally. These are personable interactions, not scripted press features. Grab a cup of hot tea and join your host Mike W. Johnson to learn about these interesting guests and why they appreciate the importance of relationships amidst a world of technology and separation. You can find Tea with Mike everywhere @teawithmike!
Brandon Stone joins me to kick off 2026 with a fast-paced, honest conversation centered on the past, present, and future. In this episode, we ask each other random questions that spark reflection, real dialogue, and authentic storytelling.One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is the importance of doing what you genuinely enjoy. Rather than getting caught up in making everything perfect, we talk about why it’s better to focus on what you love—like live streaming—than stressing over flawless production. This episode is all about growth, perspective, and choosing passion over perfection.
