This conversation is a masterclass in sales...and in resilience.

Mike’s sales career started early, helping his dad sell boats at the Chicago Boat Show. In the dead of winter, with snow on the ground, he volunteered simply to help his dad - and still outsold the full-time sales representatives. That momentum never stopped.

What’s his edge?
He builds real relationships.
He sells with urgency.
He shows up disciplined and consistent - EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
He never makes excuses when it comes to closing sales.

When Mike left a secure, successful sales role to start LionHeart with his partners, he bet on himself. He also felt the weight of being the company’s only salesperson, carrying the pressure of providing for his family while building something from the ground up. The pressure was real, but quitting was never an option.

If you lead sales, build teams, or are considering betting on yourself, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.
