Mike Brown flew 75 combat missions in Iraq, built a $100M+ energy firm, sold for "life-changing money" in 2019... then lost $100,000 every month for two years straight.
How does a former fighter pilot who generated over $100 million go from financial freedom to nearly broke? And what did he learn that could save you years of grinding?
Mike's now the "anti-hustle guy" who says most entrepreneurs need WAY less money than they think to be truly wealthy. His formula: 33x your annual spending = financial freedom (not $100M like he thought).
You'll learn:
- Why "there are no emergencies in business" (learned when his F-18 cockpit filled with smoke)
- The 5 levels of true wealth beyond money
- Why the "7 streams of income" advice destroys young entrepreneurs
- His biggest mistake that cost him millions
From Navy cockpit to $100M exit to anti-hustle wisdom - this story will change how you think about wealth.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
