His story, from the battlegrounds of Iraq to the top of multiple international companies, serves as a testament to the power of dedication, innovation, and resilience.
Having served in the Air Force, Mike distinguished himself during Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom, winning the Airman of the Year Award in 2003.

It is this very approach that separates him from many; his commitment is unwavering, and his innovative spirit has been a hallmark since his younger days.
In one of his many entrepreneurial endeavors, Mike plays an instrumental part in promoting a very unique mission: wealth acceleration through precious metals.

This, in turn, cultivates a steady cash flow for Mike's clientele, presenting a unique fusion of wealth preservation and expansion. Mike’s approach is refreshingly direct: leveraging the power of email marketing and multiple online advertising channels, he empowers individuals to construct their own brands and benefit from a thriving market. His modus operandi is simple yet effective: attract potential clients through engaging content, like LinkedIn newsletters, and build authentic relationships through email list building.
Mike's involvement in yet another distinctive endeavor paves an alternative path towards financial autonomy. Dedicated to financial education, Mike provides tools and strategies to help homeowners pay off their homes in just 5-7 years on their existing income. Breaking the chains of the conventional mortgage system, his unique program stands as a beacon for those seeking genuine financial freedom from a monthly mortgage payment.
However, what's truly remarkable about Mike’s journey is his dedication to redefining the perception of the network marketing/direct sales profession. Despite the skepticism surrounding the industry, Mike is on the front lines, proving the legitimacy of this profession. And the numbers speak for themselves: 20% of global millionaires have their roots in network marketing, a clear indication of its transformative power.

We spoke with Mike to learn more about his career path and how he’s changing the stigma attached to network marketing.
Mike, network marketing has often been misunderstood. What makes it a reliable revenue stream?
There are a lot of misconceptions, but looking at the facts, network marketing/direct sales is a thriving business model. In 2022, the industry boasted a global market size of $200 billion. The industry's growth rate of 6-8% annually is proof of its steadiness. Moreover, with 74% of Network Marketers being women, the sector is notably inclusive. As projections show, the industry is poised for even more growth in the upcoming years, emphasizing its long-term potential.
Can you elaborate on the benefits of venturing into network marketing?
As of now, around 10.5 million individuals have made network marketing their full-time profession, while 42.9 million view it as a part-time career. This speaks to its versatility. With just the US market reaching $40.5 billion in sales in just 2022, and giants like Amway leading the way with $8.1 billion in sales, the industry showcases vast potential. Income in network marketing isn't solely from personal sales; commissions from downline sales also contribute. Given its potential and relatively low startup costs compared to other businesses, it's no wonder people are drawn to it.
What precautions would you suggest for someone looking to dive into network marketing?
It's paramount to differentiate genuine network marketing companies from illegal pyramid schemes. It’s simple, do they have a real product that you can build a legit customer base with? If the answer is YES, that’s a real network marketing company. Prospective network marketers should conduct thorough research about the company, its reputation, and its terms before making any commitments. I acutally wrote a book on this very topic, people can find it on my website. Due diligence can save significant time and money.
Financial education seems to be a cornerstone of your philosophy. Why is that?
With the world heavily reliant on fiat currency, the real value of gold and silver is often overlooked. The threat of inflation constantly looms. Thus, my mission is to enlighten individuals about these tangible assets that provide a shield against an unpredictable economy. I believe in arming people with knowledge, allowing them to secure their financial futures in the best way possible.
Your journey as an entrepreneur seems both intriguing and inspiring. Could you share a bit about how you ventured into this path?
Of course. My path was unique. While I have a high school education, my true calling was always towards entrepreneurship. I sought to break free from traditional educational molds to pursue what resonated with me. The essence of my journey lies in my relentless pursuit of freedom – the freedom that free enterprise bestows. It's more than a career choice for me; it's a reflection of the value I attach to individual liberty and the boundless opportunities it can create.
