Michael 'Silent Mike' on how to live life on your own terms
Who: Today's guest is internet superstar
Michael 'Silent Mikke' Farr, who describes himself as a Male
internet Entertainer Coach, lifter, and content creator.
He recently left a massive brand and went his own way, forging
his own career, businesses and creating the life he wanted to live.
I was keen to get Mike onto the podcast as not only was I a massive
fan but I also knew he would have some awesome gems on how you can
do this too, and go for your dreams. He has gone from strength to
strength as he is building up his platform and his message and I
know he is the perfect person to discuss this. In this interview,
we discuss taking the first step away, overcoming fear, building
your own name up, diversifying to find out what suits you best and
so much more. This is different from most interviews with Mike, we
move away from lifting and cover an area few discuss but would
change so many men's lives, and that is building a life on your own
terms.

Some things to reflect on
- It is very obvious during the interview at how focused Mike is
... he picks his goals and commits to them, letting little get in
his way. What could you achieve if you stopped wasting time and
committed to chasing your dreams?
- Mike's father played a very important role in his life, he
demonstrated how to be a good man and give back to others - what
are you doing to help others?
- Mike didn't let lack of resources like a coach or money hold
him back. He sourced and scrapped for the things he needed to
improve. There is free content everywhere, library books you can
rent and other deals you can make to help someone for some
assistance etc. There is no excuse for you not working to get the
things you need to get to get better. It might not be easy but it
is life's way of making sure you deserve the return. If it was
easy, it wouldn't be fun!
- Every man should have at least one goal in their life to better
the lives of others
- You can make any life you want, you can build the life you
want
- There is always fear. It will never go away. You just need to
suck it up, identify a fallback position and the worst case
scenario and go for it. Life is too short to not go for your
dreams.
- Always be you but don't be afraid to change the environment and
type of message or product you are putting out to evolve and move
with the times and be open to trying new things
- You find out who you are by putting in the work
- You need to be open, vulnerable and genuine to build good,
strong friendships. Genuine people attract other genuine places. Be
open, supportive and genuine with people you click with and put in
the effort to build the relationship with them and it will help
build lifelong relationships.
- There's dumb and smart risk - weigh up what you are going to do
and plan it, and go for it. Always be open to growth and change.
There is always a way to get back to where you are or make money
again.
