We share the real path behind Grizzly Talk: skipping the traditional route, learning sales, building a podcast with intention, and leaning on community and partners to grow. Mike opens up about burnout, boundaries, love, and the full-circle real estate deal that changed momentum.
• betting on sales over college and trusting commission income
• early big guest nerves and learning to pivot live
• burnout from nonstop sessions and the value of a strong team
• vetting guests, avoiding politics, and guarding brand fit
• family restaurant roots shaping service and work ethic
• a supportive relationship as an actual creator advantage
• separating personal life from content with structure
• imposter syndrome and embracing culture and identity
• partnering with Culture and connecting with Fresno pioneers
• real estate strategy, loan assumption at 3 percent, and retirement planning
• practical risk taking, contingency plans, and long-game thinking
Stay tuned for our three-part Grizzly Talks series—next guest drops soon
