Mike Long is a part of internet marketing royalty, and in today’s show, you’ll hear his story of where he started off back in the ’90s, made it through the dotcom burst and made his first million. Mike has learned and adapted through the years and there’s a lot of lessons that we walked through in this episode, which we can also apply now. He was also involved with many well-known milestones in internet marketing history and we talk about how we are going through a crazy time again where the economy is going to bust, and people are realizing that the internet has become vital to our world.

We talk about what you should be leaning into right now, what things are making people lots of money right now, and how this is a masterclass of looking at historical evidence that directly relates to what we should be looking at right now. The way Mike has made his riches is to make other business owners aware of how to use these methods to save your business. Now is the time to double down on your skill sets and run towards the chaos. So strap yourself in, as you are in a real treat! And when you are done, be sure to check out our episodes with Moe Abbas and Abdo Riani to get more advice about sharing and monetizing your knowledge.
