WHY DID MIKE BECOME A FULL-TIME CONTENT CREATOR?

IN 2022 AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND DUE IS INCRESED DISABLITY HAD TO GIVE UP A 20 YEAR CAREER IN THE SECURITY INDUSTRY AND TAKE EARLY RETIREMENT.

WHY BECOME A STREAMER?

MIKE HAS ALWAYS ENJOYED PLAYING GAMES, GOING BACK TO THE FIRST SONIC ON THE SEGA MASTER SYSTEM. SO, IT MADE SENSE TO TRY AND MAKE A CAREER FROM SOMETHING HE ENJOYED, WHILE ALSO BUILDING A NEW SKILL OF BEING IN FRONT OF A CAMERA.

WAS IT HARD TO START?

YES! GETTING THE EQUIPMENT SET UP, FINDING THE CORRECT LIGHTING AND BUILDING THE CONFIDENCE TO BE LIVE WASN'T EASY. THANKFULLY, FAMILY SUPPORT HELPED WITH THE TECH SIDE OF THINGS. THE CONFIDENCE CAME FROM PREVIOUS PODCASTING AND HOSTING A LIVE CHAT SHOW ON TIKTOK WITH A FRIEND, WHERE WE DISCUSS LIFE WITH MS.

WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF STREAMING?

COMMUNITY! THE WARRIOR'S COMMUNITY IS INCREDIBLE, THE MOST SUPPORTIVE, FRIENDLY, FUN, AND CARING PEOPLE THAT MIKE COULD HAVE HOPED TO MEET, AND IT BUILDS BIGGER EVERY DAY.
