However, I kept going and 16 years later, I successfully re-invented myself. I am known as a “Jackhammer” and have been in the business of making deals happen for 40 years. I am the host of the Jackhammer podcast and author of “The Jackhammer Effect”. My insatiable drive and resilience have been a hallmark of my long and successful career. Moreover- I identified and brokered the deal that brought Heidi Klum and New Balance together, leading to the creation of the HKNB brand. I pitched products of my own design on the Home Shopping Network to 40 million viewers. In addition - I have negotiated strategic partnerships with well-known brands such as the New England Patriots, Lacoste, FIFA, Madison Square Gardens, Radio City Music Hall, and Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. In 2018 met a young real estate entrepreneur that impressed me, and I had the feeling that we could do great things together, even though I knew nothing about real estate. But he disappeared on me. For 6 months, I relentlessly pursued that opportunity. By 2020, the partnership was in place. Two and half years later, I have brokered over $35 Million dollars of investment deals in real estate. Today my brand is The Jackhammer. I’m 69 going on 39, and nothing can stop me. I am proof that age is no barrier to reinventing yourself. I live by the motto “Never give up, stay passionate, and work hard because it’s never too late". Email: myronwelik23@gmail.com Podcast: The Jackhammer Effect

Michael Dominguez is an award-winning sales representative at RE/MAX Jazz Inc. Brokerage and the founder of Doors to Wealth Real Estate Group, a team of realtors focused on educating and assisting people in residential real estate. After becoming a realtor in 2008, Michael realized the opportunities in real estate investing and bought his first investment property, proceeding to add to his portfolio for 10 consecutive years. Throughout his realtor career, he has completed over 300 investment property transactions. Michael did everything he was supposed to do. He fought his way through his schooling, wound up with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, then got a responsible job, met a girl, got married, bought a single family home, and had a child. As he approached 40, he came to the realization that he was stuck in a rat race of long commutes, a dead end job, a failing marriage and endless debt. By taking control of his future, and building a stream of appreciating cash-flow generating assets, Michael started to see real changes in his net worth and his mindset. When he entered real estate in 2008, Michael was drawn towards people who saw real estate ownership as a vehicle for building wealth and reaching their goals. Many of his current and former clients were able to quit their full-time job, do more of what they want to do, and seek their passions. As an investor realtor, Michael discovered a real passion for helping others build their wealth so they can experience the choices and financial freedom they desire. He has been fortunate to teach others to follow that path to success. Real estate investing has allowed Michael to do the things he WANTS to do rather than the things he has to do.
