My influences were Tupac and Biggie and blood in, blood out, American me. I wanted to be like that. So by the time I walk into high school you know i'm a i'm a two-time felon i'm wrong i'm rolling around with guns robbing jack

not i'm not trying to you know that that's not cool that i'm not trying to glorify it but i had a lot of problems growing up you know um in sixth grade i had like top 3% lowest scores in the state. I was, that's how, that's how I grew up. Yeah. And what was that life changing moment for you where you need, you were like, I need to get my together. Yeah. So, so, um, you know, I'm, uh, I'm in corporate now.

I'm like 24, 25 years old. And, you know, Sean, I'm, I start know, Sean, I get hooked up on personal development. You know, I get a book from my friend who was my coworker, Keisha, How to Win Friends and Influence People. I read that book. I'm like, dude, I need more of this. I go to YouTube, how to become successful, how to become great, how to become a millionaire.

I find Eric Thomas, Eric Thomas, you know, he got, you know, how, you know, when you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful. So I'm listening to that. You know, I become religious on that. Then I end up finding Grant Cardone. I actually end up working with. And I just, you know, I just I got I got i was doing at one point man and i you quit bro we jumping in quick at one point i was like i was doing more personal development than anybody in the city of san diego in in the state like like i was going to sleep on personal development yeah i was showering on personal development i turned my car into a university everything in my

you know i was a loser bro in my 20s and and and by the time i got hooked up on personal development i became so cheesy where i'm like how you doing mike great how you doing awesome and and and then i made a decision in my mid-20s i'm like nah i'm not gonna eat dirt no more i'm dog i'm gonna be great i'll become a multimillionaire. And, you know, we've been working on it ever since. And what age did you get that first mill up? That's a good question.

I'm looking at it. I made a million dollars in my first year in business. That was 2015. So you were about 30? Yep. Okay. Yeah. That's pretty quick. Five years, you became about 30? Yep. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

It's pretty quick. Five years, you became a millionaire? Yeah. Once you set the goal at 24, 25, took you five years. I made a million dollars in my first year. Nice. In business.

And what was that business? So I was, I was, I used to build websites back in the day. I used to be a dog breeder and my websites were like, ranked on Google top two, top three. So I used to get a dog breeder and my websites were like ranked on Google top two, top three. So I used to get blown up. So I'm like, I'm sitting on this skill set that I have and I'm like, I need to do some of this. So I got laid off on my job, whatever.

I'll tell my wife, my wife, Diana, I'm like, nah, I ain't never going to go back to. You know, like no one could ever take the rug from me again. So I'm going to do my f***. I'm going to do my f*** deal. And I'm going to start my own business. She's like, can you do that? I'm like, f*** yeah. I was like, what do you think?

She's like, I support you. So I started building websites. And my websites, in the very beginning, I was selling websites for like 50 bucks, 100 bucks 200 bucks, 300 bucks and then later I closed Conor McGregor that year How'd you close him? I called him for a year You called him? Yeah. How'd you get his number?

So you can go to GoDaddy and do GoDaddy reverse search and then you'll find out if they don't have it protected, you'll find out who the domain is registered to. So I found this name and this number. The name and the number was his manager.

So I called his ass for a year. Wow. I harassed him. You know, Auditory, you know, his manager, right? Yeah. So I'm doing that. I'm calling him. Nope, not interested.

Calling him again. Mike, like I told you last week, I'm not interested. I kept hitting him. He was in Orange County. I'm in San Diego. Hey, bro, I'm going to be in Orange County next week, man. You want some donuts? Hey, dude, I'm going to be in Orange County in two weeks.

You guys want some coffee? Hey, dude, I'm going to be in Orange County. You guys want some lunch? I just kept tapping him over and over and over. Every time there was a Conner event, I'd FaceTime him. Hey, what's up, Adi? Which is his manager. Hey, man, dude, we're here for the Conner fight.

We're pumped up, man. Hey, we wish you the best. But what I know is that every time I hit him, he would hit me back. Even though I was getting a pause, he would always hit me back. So the data I got when I worked at Grant's was that if you have a cell phone with the cat, you can always do business with him or her, regardless. It could take a day, it could take a year,

it could take 10 years. So I kept following up with him. So my first year I signed Conor McGregor. We signed up Patrick Bedavid, who's a big, we did Patrick Bed david's website we did php's website i i just talked to his team two days ago wow in fact his number two just texted me this morning we signed up a solar city deal so yeah that's how i made my first meal building websites man and how did you get good building them just watching videos on YouTube? You know, I'm a. Naturally, I'm artistic.

So, you know. You could be formally trained or you could go to school. You know, I have what people will call the eye. I had the eye for beauty. So, you know, I knew what was beautiful, what was aesthetic, what wasn't. Yeah. I was selling. I was doing Wix websites, drag and drop.

Wix. Conor McGregor's website was on Wix. That's crazy. You know what I'm saying? And you got diagnosed with ADHD, right, at a young age? Yep. So do you think that helped you, or do you think it was a hindrance?

Nah, bro, it's a gift. Yeah? It's a gift. Why do you think so it it's a you know so like what society does sean is like he's hyper or he's compulsive or she's x you know like like let's let's let's just name this and say what you are because you're a little bit different like here here you know here's 30 kids in the classroom and two are hyperactive and two are you know compulsive or they're they're different so let's let's give them a pill like you know yeah calming down whatever so for me you know

in elementary school i was so so OCD, ADHD. I knew, you know, I played video games. So I played Mortal Kombat. I played all, you know, all the arcade games. I knew every character and I knew every bio and realm. I knew exactly like their moves. Dude, I knew like there's 16 characters. I knew every move so i just took my adhd and applied it towards towards that my dad told me too my dad told me

when i was like fifth grade he's like hey if you uh took your talent and apply it apply it towards school you'd be a straight-a student so what i you know, today as a 39-year-old man is I took my OCD, ADHD, and I just applied that towards business. Nice. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm obsessed with it. I'm hyperactive still. I remember they tried telling me I had it in, like, fourth grade. They wanted to put me on meds. Did they?

And the one thing I love about my mom is she said no to it. Yeah, same thing. I remember as a kid, I was like, oh, I'm so upset. Like, I wanted to be on those meds and it's like they brainwash you you know how old are you man i'm 26 oh you young as yeah but you know they tried telling me just because i was like different i guess dog listen dude i i remember being in first grade and i remember sitting down in the print you know with the principal and the school nurse with the teacher

with my mom and my stepdad are like now they can't really push that on you it's like illegal now you can't do that in California at least and they're like your son he has these disorders and

you know what I'm saying 7 years old and they're self-diagnosing they're like diagnosing kids and I don't want to say nothing but that's weird bro super weird it's like they're pushing it take take this drug yeah seven yeah like like that boy seven take the drug though yeah so that way he can act normal they want you to fit in with everyone else so they give you drugs it's dumb as it's terrible it horrible, bro. So you basically manifested everything you set out. You believe in manifestation? Okay.

Okay. So let's talk about that. Okay. So this is what I know. So they go like this. You know, you got some big hitters, you know, showing up on your show. You know, so they go like this. Thoughts are things.

Okay. So Sean, this is what I know to be true there's some real game right here okay so so what i know to be true right now is that everything starts off with a thought okay so i don't believe that this little character right here that looks like you in this beautiful studio and that 35 000 camera and this beautiful desk that cost ten thousand dollars or more and this i don't i don't think i don't think none of this happened by chance you know i'm checking to the wind hotel and they're like sir why are you here i have a podcast and they're like oh you're going to the blue they're talking about you none of this happened by chance so what what i know is that i got a framework and it goes like it goes like this number one thoughts thoughts thoughts create actions thoughts create actions i want a burger i'm gonna get get my in the car

and get a burger i want a podcast that's my thought uh i'm gonna go get my ass in the car and go get a burger. I want a podcast. That's my thought. I'm going to go start creating a podcast. I want a boyfriend or a girlfriend. I'm going to go on Tinder, whatever the fuck. So thoughts, Sean, create actions. Actions create results, and results shape your reality. I'll give you an example. So my wife hit me right now.

She's like, hey, I know you got this big podcast right now. Go crush it. Go give them your all. So now 14 years ago, I seen this Mexican girl at Circle K. I was like, I like that. That was my thought. I like this girl.

That was my thought. I like, I like this girl. That was my thought. I took an action. I went up to her, you know, like I asked her out, got her phone number. You like to go dance? You like, you know, want to eat some good food? I got some sort of result. I met that girl and we hung out. We had a good time.

I felt like I know her my whole life. So that was my thought. That was my action. I got a result. My reality is that we got two babies and one on the way. I felt like I know her my whole life. So that was my thought, that was my action. I got a result. My reality is that we got two babies and one on the way and we've been together 14 years and we created a life.

That's, you know, it's pretty amazing. So what I'm saying is that whether it's a studio or the wind's like, let me put this beautiful rug that costs $10,000 or less. It all started with a thought. When did you think about creating the studio? Filming here? Yeah, when you're like, we're gonna go to the wind

and we're gonna. Before I even started my show, I wanted to film here. Okay, so you thought about it. Yeah. Yeah, right? So watch this, let me give you a little bit more. Once upon a time, 3,500 years ago, 5,000 years ago, there was a

in Cairo, Egypt. It's hot as and he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got it. I got it. We are going to put the world's biggest structures that have ever been right here, and we're gonna put them in shape of pyramids, and we're gonna bury the pharaohs in there, and it's gonna be the most amazing structures

that man has ever seen. Before the came up, it was a thought. You feel what I'm saying? Like, it was a thought right you feel what i'm saying like it was like there was one like dude there was one guy or one woman probably a guy i hate to say probably there was a one that said yeah we're building right here so so so so so my lead up to all this is that if that's real for you okay like it's real's real for me, if you can control your thoughts, you can control your reality. Thoughts create actions.

Actions create results. Results shape reality. There's people that we can talk to right now that's in college. Hey, Amanda, how are you feeling about your test? I don't know. I'm good at math. I'm good at history. I'm good at X, but I'm not really good at Spanish.

Her thought is she's not good at Spanish. Her action, she's not good at Spanish. Her result, guess what? It's not that her reality, she's not good at Spanish. She got a C minus. So what happened for me was I started lying to myself. I started making up stories that just served me. I'm a milliner.

I'm a billionaire. I'm successful. I have Lamborghinis. I live in an affluent area people love me i attract good people to my life i attract money i have at cause over my i just so it starts with a thought but but but but you you know what this is though you're manifesting it it's it's manifestation but it's principle that's how this world works. That's how all this works. There ain't no way we're in this beautiful million dollar,

multi-million dollar facility if you and your crew are not like, yep, it's going to be blue light. It's going to be the magic. Our red Komodo, you know, can't like, like and we're gonna have monitors right here and the guests are going to be vetted and they're going to be big hitters and we're going to have this big you know 40 feet 50 feet it was a thought yeah so if you can control your thoughts and control reality so do you actually believe you could control all your thoughts because there's a lot of people that say it's not possible. Yeah, so, you know, yes, but here's the deal. It's like, I go to the gym at 5 a.m.

In the beginning it's a. You know, I get alarm clock 4.30, you know, I can go back. So as soon as you have a negative thought, you just hush it and replace it with a positive thought and you take action. Let's say like a single, we're in Vegas. A lot of pretty people here. Some dudes out here looking good and they're single, right? They're at the club and they want to go talk to the little pretty girl.

What if she says no? What if I get embarrassed? What if she don't like me? Dude, you got to put intention on every thing. I'm going to go there. We're going to make a connection. She's beautiful. We're going to dance.

I'm going to buy her a drink. I'm going to whatever. So as soon as you have that voice of I'm not sure or I don't know or mate, you gotta keep that and replace that with something that serves you. Wow, that's powerful. Cause a lot of people get those thoughts and they just eat at them.

Yeah, but the people that do that they ain't worked on themselves yet. Yeah, they don't take action. They ain't worked themselves yet, dude. You know, the guaranteed way to success is personal development. That's a guaranteed way. Okay, for me it took 10 years. Yeah. Okay, I's a guaranteed way. Okay, for me, it took 10 years.

I didn't touch Inc. 5000, 332 fast-growing companies in America. I didn't buy, and I ain't trying to act all cute and cool and shit. I didn't buy six supercars in the last 18 months. I'm about to go get an Adventure Door this weekend. I didn't buy six Lamborghinis in the last year and a half. And that's so far from where i come from right yeah but the reason why i tell you that story is because i i i had a i had a i had to work on this i had i had to feel good about me i had to love me and now now where i'm

at in my life is that it's expected i'm expected to walk into the wind and get greeted by the best valet driver. I'm expected to go to the front desk and know exactly everything about my situation and there's no stops. I'm expected to meet you and create an incredible connection. I'm expected to go to the buffet and get no weight.

I've made up a fake thing that's not true. But what I'm saying is I had to work on myself. So the guaranteed way to success is personal development. And the quickest way is proximity. So that wanna come up, they gotta go meet you. They gotta get to the source. They gotta rub your elbow. They gotta touch you.

So that's what I had to go through. Because most people watching this ain't growing up rich. So you said you grew up in a rough neighborhood and you talked about proximity did you cut off all the people you grew up with oh oh um okay so 28 29 years old i call grant's office i'm already listening to some s**t. Grant Cardone. I'm listening to some s**t. Five to six hours a day. Yeah. You know, all day long, seven days a week.

I call his podcast, right? And I'm like, yo, you know, I just got laid off and I'm going to these interviews and I find myself having to turn myself down because I'm scaring people. Like, I'm too much. said i said what do you recommend and he was like don't turn it down dude get it in get it in a vehicle you know that could channel that kind of energy so i went over there and you know i i you know i got into that system and i and i leveled the fuck up really hard. So when I came back, I was only there for four months. When I came back, I was kind of a different person. I looked at the world different.

So the reason why I tell you that story is just, we're talking about what, development? We're talking about proximity? A lot of people, people Sean they don't like they like a Lot of people want these night. Okay. Watch this a hundred percent of people have Desire hmm Casey, what do you want? He's out there. I want to retire my mom Miguel What do you want a boy right out there? I want to I want a Bentley. Hey Henry video guy

What do you want? My boy right out there. I want a Bentley. Hey, Henry, video guy, what do you want? I want to be happy. I want to live on the lake. 100% of people have desire, and only 2% of people have ambition. It's almost like a gift. So I was selling candy at a young age. So my kids don't want to come up. They want to make it.

You can do it, but you've got to make a decision. You've got to really really killing the game. They move in different than the rest of the world. Okay, what I say, I woke up at the gym at 5 a.m. Dog, I ain't never, I've been a night out my whole life. It's a to wake up at 5 a.m., 5 a.m. You know, it's like, if you really want to get that, then you're going to have to do the that nobody wants to do.

So people came to your question. So I came back from grants, 29 years old. And Sean, I'm like hanging, you know, my boys from junior high, it's DR, it's Gonzo, it's Irmbo, it's Justin T. These are like my peoples. We used to go to jail with each other. We used to fight with each other. It's like these are my peoples. So we become 19, 20, 21.

They all have wives. The kids are all the same age. And what I used to do with these was get faded smoke some rap even though we don't rap we freestyle in the garage the wives hang out with each other yeah and cook some meat and you know now we're breaking up some carne asada so when i came back from grant's office i came back and i was i was i was i was displaced. I was like, so me, I'm good with people, man. And I'm like, hey, Fabian, hey, Ermbo, hey, Gonzo,

let's barbecue this weekend. Hey, the Super Bowl's at my house. Hey, the UFC fight, let's do it. I'm like the glue. I'm that, just put it together. I'm the connector. That's just me, right? So one time, I must have been back from Grants

about four or five months. And I'm sitting down and I'm talking to my peoples. And one of my boys was like, "'Hey, Mike, chill. We ain't working right now." And I'm like, I've got this website company and I got this operation and we're this website company, you know, you know I got this operation and we're about to sign up carter McGregor and it's great. No, they might chill

like all All know what you're trying to do it, bro but you don't don't you don't have to impress us bro ain't working right now like chill and And what happened was I was like so happy about creating and the that are with were like dude stop and I was I was out of place so I end up I end up uh going to the backyard and I was just playing you know football with the kids it was eight o'clock at night my wife didn't see me for about an hour or two she she's like, I've been looking for you. Where you at?

And I'm like, no, I'm just ready to go. I'm just ready to go. You know, she's like, what, what? Like, because they know I'm a wild ass party. Yeah. And life of the party type. And I was just like, yeah, I'm just ready to go. So I bounce and, you know, everyone's looking at me like,

is everything okay? I bounce. So I'm telling my wife on the way home, I'm just like,'t fit in here no more and it's not like those are bad it's like i changed right and what i want to do was talk about creating what i want to do is have high level conversations what i want to do is talk about influence humanity what i want to do is talk about getting paper what i want to talk about was just being the best versions of ourselves and and and you know i'm smoking and i'm drinking i'm doing rap for a decade and now i'm on some different it just it don't it didn't work so yeah you know it was a weird it was like it was like i turned the the page in the chapter and I was like, man, I'm going to let it go.

But either way, I'm going to be here. If my people need me, I'm going to pull up and support. But in a weird way, bro, it's like it was never the same. Yeah. Now it's tough, bro. It is. I ask every successful person that question because it's something they have to deal with so so you hear you hear that answer sometimes yeah

most people end up having to cut them off because they're almost holding them back right nothing vengeful against that person but they need to move on you know but it's up though it's up because like you know now now i start hearing some little snickers like oh mike too good oh mike's successful now oh mike don't pull up because he you know he got this and it's not even that yeah it's not it's it's definitely not that and you know it's it's like what what i know is that if you want to get to the next like right now where i'm at you know you know i'm touching eight figures i know i have to shed something or get something up to get to the next, like right now where I'm at, you know, I'm touching eight figures. I know I have to shed something

or get something up to get the next. And at that point that I just, you know, described, I had to give up hanging out with the homies, smoking, drinking just to get to the next. And it hurts,

man. Yeah. It hurts. And I had a vision too. had a vision so i live in a multiple indoor house you know my life pretty good you know i had a vision where i'm like okay i live in the nicest you said you've not been to san diego haven't you know about la jolla heard of it okay so la jolla is like the most luxurious spot in the city so you know i already own the most beautiful home in the city. So, you know, I already own the most beautiful f***ing home in Mount Soldat, which is in La Jolla.

Yeah. So I got a vision where I'm 39, f***ing 43 now, living in this house, and I bring back DR and Gonzo and Irmbo and Justin Teagueague and I spoil them. But I also have a vision where I'm so far removed where it's like, who the fuck is this guy? But like, that was, you know, I just, I was like, I want to like, okay, so we doing this. I want to go be a representation for our group and let me go into the wilderness. Let me go chop a representation for our group. And let me go into the wilderness.

Let me go chop down trees and go create. And we're going to reconvene. Yeah. But it's, yeah. No, it's wild. It's something we got to deal with. But got to move on and evolve, man. Like you said, you got to give up something and get to the next level.

You have to, man. Yeah, and sometimes it's your old childhood best friends, but that's what life's about, I guess, if you want to man yeah and sometimes it's your old childhood best friends but that's what life's about i guess if you want to level up yeah um i saw you got pulled over by the cops on your social media yeah lambo six cops pulled you over what happened you know you know you know you know uh so sean for me is like when i say i walked out of high school two felonies, I was on some gangster type shit, you know? And I've always had a chip on my shoulder where, like, I don't belong here. You know what I'm saying? Like, I got this, I carry this.

So, you know, like, in Crock Middle School, I was like Mr. Popular, class clown, you're a book, everybody loves me. And I was terrorizing classrooms. Instead of going to Madison Middle School, I was like Mr. Popular, Class Clown, you're a big ****, everybody loves me. And I was terrorizing classrooms. Instead of going to Madison High School where I'm supposed to go feed into, my parents were like, nah, you too bad. Go to UC High School. Go with the ****.

The surfer kids. I didn't fit in with the surfer kids. I didn't like the surfer kids. You know, I wanted to be a street kid. So I went here and i'm like okay nobody likes me i'm not as popular as i was and i'm like you know what i don't give a f**k y'all m*****s gonna like me respect me regardless so when i when i went to that high school i used to pull up with my thug ass friends to the high school and i'm just like yeah we taking over this whole s**t
