Mike begins by explaining how leaving his role in corporate America led him to find his passion as an entrepreneur, sharing, “my whole life is that I wanted to wake up and do cool stuff. That’s still my mantra today.” Mike sheds light on the similarities between a commission sales representative and an entrepreneur, due to the frequent highs and lows of selling. Mike explains, “the best experience you can have to become an entrepreneur is to become a straight commission sales rep. You wake up in the morning, you sell something, you make money. If you don’t sell something, you don’t make money.” Mike continues to discuss the importance of hospitality and discipline for a business, and how understanding this helped him be successful in his endeavors.
