Mike shares his journey of pursuing a master’s degree, navigating challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, and reflecting on personal growth, family connections, and lessons in entrepreneurship.
He emphasises the value of executing ideas, refining thoughts through writing, and seeking help when needed.
