A typical day in my life includes\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nI go to yoga every morning at Modern Yoga in Scottsdale, AZ. Work my day job as a Sales Professional and then in the evenings I go for a short run and work on lining up more content for my podcast \u201cCoffee and a Mike.\u201d<\/p>\n
I was born\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\nin Columbus but raised in Cleveland, Ohio – the World\u2019s Best Kept Secret.<\/p>\n
My favorite thing about Arizona\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nso many things I love about Arizona. I love the weather, people are from so many different places, outdoor lifestyle.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>I’m listening to\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nJoe Rogan Podcast. You listen to who you aspire to be.<\/p>\n
When I was younger, I wanted to be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\ntaller and now that I am 40 I still want to be taller considering I am only 5 foot 5.<\/p>\n
I’m inspired by\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\npeople that are passionate about something and go after it. They ignore the negativity and look straight ahead.<\/p>\n
If I could change anything in the world, it would be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nmake everyone compassionate, accountable and take ownership for their actions.<\/p>\n
The perfect day would be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nyoga, nice brunch, afternoon nap, evening trail run capped off with some green tea\/sushi or red wine\/olives and cheese.<\/p>\n
My first job was\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\ntelemarketer, I sold $500 magazine subscriptions that included a 4 piece set of Ginsu steak knives.<\/p>\n
My favorite escape\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nI love simple trips to Prescott, AZ.<\/p>\n
My life\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nI am a guy who loves to laugh and make people laugh. A guy who enjoys getting the best stories out of people.<\/p>\n
I’m currently working on\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nlining up more exciting content for my podcast \u201cCoffee and a Mike\u201d.<\/p>\n
Always\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\ntake advantage of every opportunity presented to you. Life sometimes does not give you a second chance.<\/p>\n
Never\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\ntake anything for granted.<\/p>\n
