This real estate investing journey started when Mike and his wife bought a house in Florida from Ohio, and started short-term renting it to friends and family only in between using it themselves. Then, the family moved to North Carolina for work. Mike got fired while his daughter was in high school. His wife also got fired. They moved into the Florida house for a short time. Now scrambling a bit, the family bought a fixer looking for appreciation, then did arbitrage. What is short-term rental arbitrage? Mike rented the house to a tenant who would be the STR host. He did the maintenance himself. He met the arbitrager through Bigger Pockets. The value proposition for him: save time and learn. Then a bit later, Mike took the management over. In the meantime, they were building their portfolio. Now, Ronnalee is retiring and taking over the STR management of their portfolio and others! This is a story of guessing, learning, and letting the real estate investing “career” unfold as you go.

He came from a theater background having produced live entertainment all over the world. After finishing a successful off Broadway run of a show he shepherded from Minneapolis to New York's theater district, Mike made the lateral move into digital “storytelling”. Working with several companies, Mike supervised the design and creation of interactive “experiences” for large brands – from AT&T and Verizon, to 3M and MARVEL Comics to name a few. Mike now brings this level of operational expertise and technology design to rural communities with Corqueboard. Mike is passionate about giving small businesses and rural communities access to the kind of digital “storytelling” and architecture that in the past has been reserved for larger and more urban areas. Mike believes in creating a small business “ecosystem” within these rural communities and creating tangible benefits that build on community engagement and interaction. Only by creating a strong bond across rural divides can we create the “strength in numbers” that is needed to benefit and build rural communities and take some of the power away from the urban centers that view the rural areas of this nation as nothing more than “flyover” country.

Episode 305: Mike Johnson is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada where he started a career at a young age as a recording and touring musician with his band Shyne Factory and later Shelter with Thieves. He worked in festival and stage management, video and music production and he owned and operated a music studio. Mike suffered from severe depression starting in his early teens and his "rock-star" lifestyle easily led him to alcohol abuse and eventually a very serious drug addiction . In 2013 Mike hit a rock bottom and decided enough is enough. He admitted himself to a 1 year intake addiction treatment program in Edmonton Canada called “Our House” where he dedicated his life to healing and learning everything about addiction and concurrent diseases. After losing his best friend to an overdose, Mike saw how insufficient the western treatments alone are, and became laser focused on finding more effective ways to help himself and other addicts truly heal. In his research, he came across Dr. Gabor Mates' work treating addiction patients with Ayahuasca. In 2015 Mike packed his bags and headed to Peru for 3 months to work with Ayahuasca and began dieting master plants in the Shipibo tradition. He continued working with Ayahuasca in Canada and Peru and in January 2017 his path led him to the Ayahuasca Foundation 10 week curandero initiation course where he found his place and his life purpose as a healer. Today, Mike Johnson can be found facilitating plant medicine ceremonies, offering pre-ceremony intention sessions as well as post-ceremony integration. He continues to be a creative being by writing music, connecting with nature and helping people find their healing path. Show notes: This is a special episode with Madelyn's partner Mike Johnson.

Focused on recording and touring with a successful band, but a part of him was unhappy and lifestyle led into addiction. Mike finally sought help and went to a treatment center. Mike needed more than medications prescribed as an easy "fix" to addiction. After his friend passed away in treatment, Mike discovered plant medicine and Dr. Gabor Mates's work bringing patients to Peru to work with Ayahuasca. Every plant has a spirit. Every plant has light, and every plant has dark. Plant diets establish a relationship with these plants. "No one is flawed. It's just part of your journey to figure out these things you need to get through." Ayahuasca is a diagnostic tool and requires guidance and participation - cleaning the body. Experiences are so different from person to person. Anything worthwhile in life that has light, comes with shadow. Madelyn's relationship with Ayahuasca wasn't able to develop until she had an experience of darkness with it. You can hear Madelyn further discuss her Ayahuasca experience with Will Siu: maddymoon.com/will-siu/ Challenges and difficulties performing with bands on stage were like training for the ceremony space.

Welcome back to the Instant Impact podcast with your host, Elyse Archer! In today’s discussion, Elyse talks growth with Mike Schumann. Mike currently serves as the Vice President of Corporate Development for the start-up accelerator, MassChallenge. In this role, he leads the functional group responsible for helping MassChallenge's corporate partners to achieve innovation-related outcomes through relationships with high-potential startups that are aligned with strategic priorities.    Elyse and Mike talk about some of the first things we can do to generate revenue from scratch. We’re talking from the ground floor. Mike shares with us that it’s all about having an outcome and goal in mind and working backwards from there, focusing on planning and structuring your strategy for growth. He says it’s vital to pick up the phone and learn. Elyse adds that it's important to constantly be on the lookout for feedback—what people are liking and what they aren’t.    Mike delves into what some common factors that seem to be constant for successful startups. He emphasizes that it’s essential to be clear about what the problem is you’re solving. It’s equally as important to know who it is who has the problem and what it means to them if you can find a solution. On top of that, Mike shares that success can come from offering a $100 solution for a $10,000 problem. Beyond that, capture the proof. Use case studies as leverage and build a scalable sales process to match the growth.    On the topic of problem-solving, Mike and Elyse chat about some actionable tips people can take to find the problem it is that they’re trying to solve. Mike says to think about the gaps in service. What small adjustments can you help make to open the door to a new market? He goes on to explain that you have to be open to failure. Frame it as an experiment—make mistakes and learn from them. Take obstacles and look at them as lessons.    Mike also offers insight on pricing. The fact of the matter is, every company is going to have a different expectation for their ROI. Think about the alternatives they may go to and consider the momentum they have with the process they already use. How can you disrupt that and bring value?    Finally, Elyse and Mike dive into how we can cultivate an intentional environment that sets us up for success. Mike says the place to start is with yourself. Think about how well you take care of yourself—what’s your morning routine? Are you mindful of your nutrition? Do you exercise? All of these factors come into play when we think about our environment. What about what you’re putting in your brain? Set aside time to fill your mind with positivity and something that will make you better. Additionally—network! Don’t be afraid of being in service—it will come back.    What you’ll learn in this podcast   In today’s episode, you’ll get some practical advice on how to grow and scale your brand. Mike shares insight on how to grow revenue from scratch with no territory or client base, how to get clear on what problem it is you can solve, as well as advice on pricing structures and the importance of a positive environment.     Links Connect with MassChallenge at MassChallenge.org Have questions for Mike?

I've known who Mike was for quite some time, but we didn't connect with each other until a year or two ago when he approached me to build a website for him. Little did I know, this idea would turn into a big digital publishing company. And by big, I don't mean a massive office in Silicon Valley with hundreds of employees. He has assembled a team of freelancers and passionate individuals in the custom automotive scene from all over the world to crank out high quality content month after month.Over the past year or so, Slam'd Magazine has built a huge following, and I know the recently launched Lift'd Trucks is setup to do the same in the coming months. It's pretty cool to see it all evolve even though I was hired to build these sites, so I may be a little biased. But from the perspective of a custom automotive enthusiast (which I have been for over 15 years), something new like this is exactly what our scene needs. Someone to push the envelope, put quality before anything else, and make the content easily accessible to the entire world.I ask all the typical business questions, but I dug deeper and really pulled out some inspiring thoughts from this publishing veteran, things he never thought we'd discuss. Not only is he a very genuine person, but you really get a sense for his desire to help other aspiring entrepreneurs, as well as pave the way for generations to come in the automotive space. Even if you've known Mike for years, I think you're gonna learn a lot more about him here, and after you listen to the whole episode, you'll be so motivated that you'll probably reach out to him just to say thanks.With that being said, let's get on with the show...Subscribe to the podcast!Show notes:[5:00] Tell us your story, take us back to the beginning then bring us up to speed to what you're doing these days[16:00] So did you go to college?[17:35] If you didn't leave your last job, would you still be working for someone else at another magazine?If you do what you love, eventually the money comes.[20:20] Where did the name come from for Rev'd, Slam'd, etc.?[23:20] Why did you choose to go with a digital publication?[33:55] Mike's sites: Rev'd Media Group / Slam'd Mag / Lift'd TrucksShow Sponsor: Try ShipStation completely FREE for 30 Days![38:00] Do you have plans for the next magazine yet?[44:15] Did you quit your last "real" job or were you fired?I had to turn those job offers down because I didn't feel good about going back to that life.It was very very scary. I will never be able to share that feeling in words.[53:00] What motivates you to keep going?The people you surround yourself with are everything.With the limited time you have in each and every day, who you surround yourself with is the biggest thing you can control that makes the most difference in your life.Your time is your resource, your time is your bank account, your time is everything.Everybody has the same 24 hours in a day, not everybody uses them the same.[58:00] Do you think you're more passionate about the cars/trucks now?My passion now is to keep the spark alive in every other car person out there.[01:02:30] What is one of your favorite business books or inspiring movies? (Click here to see which book he picked...)The #ranplan kind of struck a chord with me personally, because it's about doing what you want when you wanna do it.Whenever you put a deadline, or schedule, or restriction on a human being's creativity, generally you're not gonna get the best product back.I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity.If you don't give your team the freedom to creative something great, you're hurting your business.We all have something great that we need to share with the world, but so many people are afraid to execute.Everything comes down to execution.FREE BOOK!

Good luck everybody![01:13:25] Do you have any daily rituals that contribute to your success?[01:15:40] What is a huge risk that you have taken?Jumping off a cliff and building the airplane on the way down is just a daily thing for us entrepreneurs.My entire idea of risk is 100% different than what it used to be.[01:20:15] Some more inspiration from Seth Godin and the Tribes book.Whatever you do, it all boils down to selling. No matter what your company is, you are a sales marketer.[01:24:15] How do you make money from these magazines? Where is the revenue coming from?[01:29:00] What life lessons have you learned from traveling around the country and the world?We're all writing our own book. If you've only lived in one place, only seen one place, only been one place, then you've only written one chapter.The traveling has really opened my eyes, and it really reminds you of just how small you are. Small, but not insignificant.[01:34:45] Are there any specific moments from the past year or so that are humbling or make you proud to do what you do?When I seen people getting tattoos of our logo, I knew we had created something bigger than ourselves. And that was a big moment for me.Most other companies are bigger, and they have a marketing budget, but they don't have the passion as a line item or the creativity as a checkbox.It was a big moment to see something I just saw in my head less than 2 years ago, on someone else's body, inked permanently. It was a very surreal moment.You don't always get to hear you're right. But when my readers and my audience wear that shirt or get that tattoo or send a picture of their car in, that's them saying you're right.[01:40:10] What have you given up to build this business?You put a lot of time into building something, but when you build it for you, I believe you get that time back.We gave up our savings account, our safety net, to put it into something we really believed in.Show Sponsor: I will teach you how to build your very own e-commerce website![01:44:30] What do you wish you knew more about before starting your business?[01:45:55] Any business advice you don't really agree with?It's not doing what you love if you're still chained to a desk.[01:49:30] Have you always had the entrepreneur mindset?Multi-level marketing is people feeding off the drive that most people have to want to do something for themselves, but they haven't found what it is.A pyramid scheme or selling products for other people, in my opinion, that's just the same as getting someone else rich and not building your own company.That same time and effort that you put into selling shit out of a catalog to your friends is the same amount of time you could be putting into building a company and something that you're proud of.I feel like you've made it when you can pick and choose your clients.The difference between freelancing and owning your own company that is successful is the ability to provide your service to a client who is a like-minded person who has the same quality about them.[01:56:00] Have you had to turn potential advertisers away from your brand?At this point, it's much easier for me to say no because I've found the right companies and the right companies have found me.Your success always depends on the people you can keep, not the people you can get.[01:58:30] What social media site works best for your biz and why?[02:01:45] What skills should every entrepreneur have?It's not as scary or intimidating as you think it is.In reality, if you're good at what you do and you love what you do and you're passionate about what you do, you're in competition with no one, you can learn from everyone.The people that ask the right questions to the right people will get the right answers.It's refreshing, it's recharging when you take yourself back to that feeling that you had when you asked that same question.It brings you right back to that instance, it snaps you back. Boom, this guy is exactly where I was at that time. I'm gonna take the time to give him the answer that I wish someone would have gave me.[02:08:45] What is SEMA and how does it help your biz?Instead of 2 million people seeing your product every month, wouldn't you rather 200,000 people who actually own custom cars, buy custom car parts, and are custom car fanatics see that same product?[02:13:50] What's the best way to connect with you?If you're a good person ,and you're grounded, no matter how big you get, that shouldn't change.Connect with Mike:Email: slamdmag [at] gmail [dot] comFacebook: facebook.com/mikealexander99Instagram: instagram.com/mikea_slamdWebsites: Rev'd Media Group / Slam'd Mag / Lift'd TrucksThis episode is brought to you by:ShipStation - I've only been using this shipping software for about 2-3 months, but I know I'll be using it for a long time.
