When he posted the video of him and all the dudes in the ice bath, it reminded me of a cult that one of my former employees got pulled into when he was a young kid, maybe 17 or 18. Essentially, this guy got a bunch of young, impressionable kids together to pay him money for his info products that were created to teach them to be millionaires through internet marketing. At one point, the kid I knew posted a video of 20 or so young adult boys shirtless in this dude’s living room while he “taught” them about entrepreneurship. Crazy, right?
Well, here’s the thing. Pretty much everything we’ve seen from Mikey in the last 2-3 years is in line with what this guy did with his cult. Mikey’s videos on the finance and the economy are aimed at young, impressionable, and uninformed kids that think they can learn something from him about wealth. Imagine a serious investor watching one of his videos and thinking “I’m gonna give my money to the guy with the backwards hat on talking about inflation at a high school level.”
He said in the past that the best way to create cash flow is through info products. Has anyone ever texted that number on his profile? I’m assuming it’s a way for him to connect with young people that followed him as a skater and built a more direct following of individuals that he can eventually monetize to buy more storage units.
