He shares his passion for healthy living, plant-based foods for kids, fitness, and building a scalable business. Howie is the co-founder of Mighty Yum, a plant-based substitute for Lunchables that provides kids with healthy, quick, and tasty meals. His mission is to curate ingredients with such great flavors that you wouldn't even believe it's plant-based. (I ordered them for my daughter…and I have been sneaking a few for myself…I can say they've earned their name, MIGHTY YUM!) Howie affirms the importance of proper nutrition for children's development, cognition, and health. He also shared his personal business philosophy through the "HOWIE" acronym: Health, Originality, Work, Innovation, and Energy. Which is no surprise, as Howie is the inventor of Stealth Core Trainer, a revolutionary fitness product and tech platform that transforms fitness into fun, entertaining games with an aim to make exercise enjoyable, engaging, and a rewarding experience instead of a boring, monotonous chore. With a track record of scaling an e-cig business to 100M+ in sales in its first 18 months, and earning the nickname “Billion Dollar Brand Builder” I made sure Howie shared his insights and top factors that it takes to successfully scale a business.  Learn More: Mighty Yum: https://mightyyum.com Stealth: https://www.playstealth.com/about-us   Connect with Howard: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/howardpanes/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/howard-panes-5263b55   Connect with Mike: https://linktr.ee/mikedicioccio   Produced by Social Chameleon: https://www.socialchameleon.us   Interview Recorded via Riverside.fm: https://riverside.fm/homepage?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=mike-dicioccio   Mike'D Up!

This week Mike welcomes his friend of over 25 years Jon Beebe to the show for a reflective and inspirational look at how transitioning into a full-time entrepreneur after 14 years in ministry has changed his mindset but not his mission. Jon is a husband, father of three girls, traveler, and entrepreneur with a passion for living and working in ways that allow him to engage more with those he loves and the things he loves. Jon and his wife Lauren founded Beebe's Bargains, an online affiliate marketing company that saves people time and money by finding the best deals on everyday products. In recent years the business has seen exponential growth, saving their community hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly on everyday products. Jon is also the founder of Beebe Travel, a travel resource company that teaches people how to get the most out of their travel experiences while still sticking to a budget. Both Beebe's Bargains and Beebe Travel were founded with the purpose of building and enriching communities who share the same values for loving family and loving others. In this hour Jon shares how the relationship driven aspects of his businesses have served as a north star for him and Lauren and how their commitment to community has empowered stay at home moms and dads to both supplement their income while making more informed consumer choices. In addition to sharing about the origins of his businesses Jon also shares some of the key principles of leadership and community building that have enabled Beebe's Bargains to amass 60,000 members within the group while still growing. By focusing on success through service Jon demonstrates how the entrepreneurial journey can be achieved even during times of uncertainty. In addition to incisive leadership and business advice Mike and Jon also explore Jon's passion for travel and following his hometown Buffalo Bills all over the country. Jon explains how the ability to monetize what you love in this modern age can allow for more emphasis on getting out and pursuing the things that you love while still keeping an eye on your business. This faith, family, and freedom loving approach towards life are at the heart of this conversation that will surely inspire anyone who is concerned about changing their career without changing their character.    Connect with Jon:   https://linktr.ee/thejonbeebe Email: jon@beebesbargains.com   Connect with Mike: https://linktr.ee/mikedicioccio   Produced by Social Chameleon: https://www.socialchameleon.us   Interview Recorded via Riverside.fm: https://riverside.fm/homepage?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=mike-dicioccio   Mike'D Up!

Kyle Livingston joins the show to share and reflect on his incredible journey of adversity, entrepreneurship, and persistence. Kyle has a truly inspirational story that begins before he was even born and spans a life of both incredible highs and devastating lows. From being left at a yard sale as a 12 week old baby, to grappling with the blessings and challenges of adoption, to losing $160k of his own money in a failed company, Kyle knows what both fear, failure, and freedom feels like, tastes like, and smells like. Despite the many challenges that Kyle was dealt, he did not let his circumstances determine his altitude in life. From the lessons he learned, Kyle has since built three 7 figure brick and mortar companies and helped turn nine companies who were in total chaos into wildly profitable models of entrepreneurial rigor.  Today Kyle is a Business Consultant and Coach helping others transform their businesses by sharing the lessons and sales strategies that he has learned in his intensely driven and performance based career thus far. Kyle is still young but he brings the insights, wisdom, and battle scars of a seasoned veteran to his coaching and consultation work with Visionary Vitals. Listeners will discover his vision of seeing beyond hustle culture by learning how to both understand their own zone of genius and then teach others how to activate that flywheel of freedom.   Connect with Kyle: Website: https://www.visionaryvitals.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/project-fortify Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/7figurekyle/   Connect with Mike: https://linktr.ee/mikedicioccio   Produced by Social Chameleon: https://www.socialchameleon.us   Interview Recorded via Riverside.fm: https://riverside.fm/homepage?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=mike-dicioccio   Mike'D Up!

This week I was excited to welcome my friend and fellow podcaster Linda Bucher to #mikedup for an incredible conversation about the transformative power of finding your purpose and changing your outlook. Linda is a business mentor and a Master Certified Life Coach who has inspired hundreds of people to find their best selves and transform their outlooks while getting in touch with their deeper purpose in life. Linda shares her experience of becoming a conscious expander who connects with many elements of her life and passions while sharing some techniques for synthesizing these passions to help others.  Just a few years ago Linda's life looked great from the outside, but inside she felt unfulfilled, tethered, uncertain, and stuck in a career that wasn't fulfilling, and in a marriage that had more downs than ups. Linda says she felt disconnected from who she was, doing things she didn't want or like to do – and believing she had to live with things as they were. Deep down inside Linda was hungry for something more and even though she didn't know what that something more was at first she grew to believe that change was possible. The more determined Linda was to find it, and find it she did! Today Linda lives a life of her own design: running a business she loves, working with wonderful clients, and is “beautifully entangled” with the man of her dreams. Linda is cultivating easy family relationships and waking up with an attitude of gratitude, each and every day at her home in Buffalo, New York.    Connect with Linda:  Website: https://lindabucher.com/ Podcast: https://lindabucher.com/conversations-worth-your-while/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/linda.m.bucher/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindabucher.gobigcoach/?hl=en Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9pR7izCPcVmKoSl88K_Knw   Linda's Favorite Book: https://www.amazon.com/She-Kobi-Yamada   Connect with Mike: https://linktr.ee/mikedicioccio   Produced by Social Chameleon: https://www.socialchameleon.us   Interview Recorded via Riverside.fm   Mike'D Up!

David Carlin joins #MikedUp for an honest and uncompromising look into his amazing entrepreneurial journey co-founding Carlin Global alongside his wife Patricia. Carlin Global has literally dominated the #paymentprocessing industry for over two decades helping to bring many of the first #ecommerce brands into the online world. David and Patricia were instrumental in guiding businesses like Lucas Films, Sony Music, Time Magazine, early online dating websites, and even the first massive multiplayer games into the world of online payments. With years of firsthand experience on the other side of the #digitalpayments industry, David is aware of the struggles other business owners faced when it came to accepting payments. What he didn't know was just how much residual income his sales agent was making on his monthly volume. That's exactly how David and Patricia found themselves on the front lines of the digital payments industry. Garnering a wealth of knowledge through his wildly successful e-commerce business and multiple joint ventures, David's ingenuity and integrity — coupled with his art of the deal — make him the driving force behind #residualpayments. In this hour, David breaks down his zero-compromise approach to entrepreneurship by examining some of the most basic, yet overlooked character traits that every entrepreneur needs to reflect on. We dive into topics such as the importance of self-examination and how your moral character is more likely to close deals than your bravado. David also addresses some of the challenges that he faced as a young #entrepreneur and how learning to truly express himself without fear of judgment was the key to unlocking his leadership potential as well as a truly rewarding life and career.   Follow David and Patricia: Website: https://carlinglobal.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/residualpayments/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meetthecarlins/?hl=en Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/dave.carlin.3/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAD_3VoBOzrjPJg4VZrUyhg   Connect with Mike: https://linktr.ee/mikedicioccio   Produced by Social Chameleon: https://www.socialchameleon.us   Interview Recorded via Riverside.fm   Mike'D Up!
