On this solo episode of the How'd It Happen podcast, Mike talks about why and how ideas thrive with an audience. He was inspired to do this episode because he was listening to someone talking about how college campuses are dealing with or managing their way through what some might call controversial speakers.Mike talks about the two obvious options when it comes to controversial speakers: go or don't go. He then talks about two more nuanced options: social bullying and idea supremacists. Social bullying is basically the concept that if you go to see this controversial speaker that someone doesn't like, appreciate, or want to have anything to do with, then if you choose to go, you are no longer their friend. Idea supremacists are those who actively try to prevent anyone from coming to see the speaker.Mike believes that ideas thrive with an audience, and it works both ways. When you agree with someone and you give them an audience, the idea thrives. When you disagree with someone and you give them an audience, the idea also thrives. It's when ideas are ignored or there's no audience for the idea that ideas naturally become suppressed.Mike encourages everyone to take the time to try to understand an idea before suppressing it. He believes that it's important to hear both sides of a story and that someone expressing an opinion that you don't agree with is not damaging you unless you internalize how you feel about what they're saying.

Today on the show we have Mike Malatesta. Mike is a high performance coach helping people unlock inspiration and creativity and has a podcast called How'd It Happen where he breaks down the magical turning points in many different entrepreneurs' and creators' lives. Mike is an excellent thought leader and has a lot of experience working with similar people to what I have done.  When I set out to have this interview. I wanted to talk to him about the many different things he uncovered in the How'd It Happen Podcast, and the things that he learned over the many different interviews. The actual interview took a very different turn and we both shared different perspectives on things like creating pattern breaks to open up new possibilities, connecting with the inner child and using that as a powerful source of energy in your business and your creativity, and many other topics that I feel are very high impact, especially for those whose who are really at the top of their game. This is a really fun-filled, unexpected, and magical episode that I am excited to share with you.  In This Episode: People are afraid to really think about and ask for what they actually want.  To be able to take a step towards what you want every day requires you to know what you want to take a step towards every day.  If you just approach things with curiosity and nothing else then it seems like it is easier because the only way you can be disappointed is if you want something out of something.  And so much more!!!   Connect with Mike Malatesta: Mike's Website How'd It Happen Podcast Mike on LinkedIn

In the entrepreneur and personal development space, we often hear people talk about the importance of finding your true purpose and making sure your life is aligned with that. This has become such an important topic because for most of us, this is not something we learned about in school. Now that we have social media and people idolizing and wanting to model their life after an illusion of someone else's life, this doesn't set us up for a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life. So how do you know if you are following your purpose? It can be a long journey, and that's okay. Ted Bradshaw is here on the How'd It Happen podcast to share his journey and insight on how to find your purpose through the 6 life essentials: Mind, body, soul, nutrition, money, and relationships.Ted Bradshaw served as an executive with Xerox and IBM, then left the Fortune 500 world to explore entrepreneurship. What he found was a long string of success that looked great on the surface. But underneath it all, he felt anxious, exhausted, and stressed, chasing money wherever it led and wondering why he never felt fulfilled. Along his journey, Ted gained valuable insight into how a person can achieve fulfillment in all aspects of life and he shares those insights with his best-selling book, Stop Chasing Squirrels. Ted now lives his passion in helping others find theirs. Ted is a speaker, author, Expert EOS Implementer™, and Community Leader for EOS Worldwide. In this episode, Ted shares why he built and left 7 businesses, and his belief that everything truly happens for a reason. Ted guides us through uncovering our purpose, and what needs to be aligned in order for us to understand that purpose and live a life that is fulfilled.

Today's solo episode of the How'd It Happen podcast was inspired by Jordan Peterson and his book, titled “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos." After reading this book, Mike felt drawn to create his own rules of life, and in this episode, he breaks down his 12.5 rules of life.

Frequently, entrepreneurs experience a moment of success but then find themselves stuck, unsure of how to move forward from that point. This was also the case for Mike Malatesta, as discussed in a recent episode of The Retire As You Desire podcast. Host Bill Bloom is joined by Mike, who is not only an entrepreneur but also an investor, author, host, and creator of the How'd it Happen Podcast. Together, they delve into Mike's book Owner Shift and his upcoming ambitious goals.  Mike Malatesta started his first business in 1992, seven months after being fired from a company he had dreamed he might lead one day. Over the next twenty-two years, he helped run, lead, and grow that startup, selling it for more money than he could have imagined.  Mike, the How'd It Happen podcast creator, is deep into his second startup and an active early-stage investor. His mission is to help as many entrepreneurs as he can to create companies that improve people's lives and, maybe, the world.  Mike lives in Wisconsin with his wife, Jamy.

Today on the Leadership Podcast, Bradley interviews Mike Malatesta.  Mike is the host of his own podcast, “How'd It Happen,” author of “Owner Shift: How Getting Selfish Got Me Unstuck,” and coach to entrepreneurs. They discussed the importance of business and personal goals as well as how to get “unstuck” on the way to those goals.  Mike shared that when you're in the valley of uncertainty, you need self awareness of where you are. Because courage is intermittent when you're in that “valley,” the environment you put yourself in is important. He also shared how investing in professional development & surrounding yourself with people who have different expertises is important to your progress.

Mike Malatesta started, grew, and sold two waste management businesses in the eight and nine figures.  As a seasoned entrepreneur, author, and coach, Mike helps entrepreneurs get unstuck, take back their power, achieve their business and personal objectives, and create the futures they want.  He's also the host of the podcast, How'd It Happen (over 250+ episodes and counting) and author of Owner Shift – How Getting Selfish Got Me Unstuck.  In this episode he talks about four stages of the entrepreneurial journey – the dream, the grind, the valley of uncertainty, and the breakthrough.  Many entrepreneurs get stuck in the valley of uncertainty and it takes the right mindset to make it to the breakthrough.  If you're ready for valuable lessons in both business and life, you'll want to listen and share this episode!

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with https://mikemalatesta.com/ (Mike Malatesta). Mike is an entrepreneur, author, and coach and has seen great success in the waste management industry. He got into space accidentally, and it began when he drove a garbage truck in college. Not only did he enjoy the work, but he really liked the industry. He trained and became a manager at a large waste management company and went on to become the company's youngest divisional vice president. This all came to a shocking end when he was let go suddenly. He didn't have a network or large support group. This led him to start his own business with an old coworker. Six months later, he owned a waste management company himself that he successfully ran and operated.  Josh and Mike explore the opportunity in working in these trade industries. There's an abundance of opportunities for entrepreneurs because these spaces aren't celebrated or recognized enough. Mike shares that there is glitziness in waste management. He didn't want to work in a space dominated by big players – there is space for start-ups in trades and it can be a good move if you have a good lay of the industry. If you're able to differentiate yourself and offer new solutions in a space such as this, you can see some great success.  Mike also shares how he started building his client base in this space. One of their first clients was a metal processing facility. He shared his story honestly and explained the solutions and differentiating factors their company addressed – and the facility took a chance on them. Sometimes, it takes a leap of faith, honesty and transparency, and a genuine authenticity in approaching your first set of customers. It can be difficult building your client base starting out, but be resilient, take advantage of your whole network, and continue building it even when you get discouraged. A humble grassroots beginning takes time, but if you're consistent and don't give up, you'll see the fruits of your labor.   Mike shares that the combination of his business's grit, his dedication to making it work, and his authenticity when approaching leads are the steps to how he grew his business. Josh also explores company culture in trades, and Mike shares that the waste management space is very people-centric. Don't just look at an industry for what it is – look at it for what it does. This industry keeps things clean and orderly and it's a noble, service-based pursuit. This is how trades should be considered, especially by business owners.  Check out Mike's book, Owner Shift at https://mikemalatesta.com/owner-shift-book-by-mike-malatesta/ (https://mikemalatesta.com/owner-shift-book-by-mike-malatesta/).  Listen to Mike's podcast, How'd It Happen?  https://mikemalatesta.com/howd-it-happen-podcast/ (https://mikemalatesta.com/howd-it-happen-podcast/).  Check out Mike Malatesta's website at https://mikemalatesta.com/ (https://mikemalatesta.com/).  Check out Mike Malatesta on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikemalatesta/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikemalatesta/).   Don't forget to subscribe to The Thoughtful Entrepreneur and thank you for listening.
