"Big Mike" Danielson  05:19 I enjoy the effect of what I do when you make someone's dream come true. And, and I've been lending money for a long time, guys before I worked in the business element of it and lending to businesses and I used to do mortgages, and so I'd help people with their very first homes, also worked in private wealth, which was obviously people that have accumulated wealth, but not really a clue what to do with it or how to keep it going. And you know, teaching and showing them all of those things… Elzie Flenard  06:10 How do you inspire others to take risks and embrace change? "Big Mike" Danielson  06:15 It's hard, especially with a business, because you really, you have to put it all on the line, you have to be willing to lose it all, especially with business.

They might need to rethink a couple of things. Elzie Flenard  06:44 What inspired you to go into your current profession? "Big Mike" Danielson  06:48 What inspired me to get into banking and all that, you know, it's funny, I went to college UVM and I didn't really know what I wanted to do.

That's a tough question. I make a lot of mistakes all the time. It just happens. You know, you have to be, I'm gonna kind of deflect off of that. And you have to learn from what you did if you if you walk away from something. Jesus that did not go I thought it was gonna go, what do we do? What did we learn from that? What would we do differently? Or Elzie Flenard  09:54 So what's your biggest triumph? "Big Mike" Danielson  10:17 I was in the middle of talking to some people about a really important project and all of a sudden I just, I didn't really know where I was the room was really dizzy and I guess people were looking at me saw like my face like went down to the side and someone's like, something's wrong, but Big Mike and someone came over your mic. Are you all right? Do you know where you are? Elzie Flenard  14:45 Where do you even start in terms of mindset and how to get better? "Big Mike" Danielson  14:49 It's interesting, because when it happened, at first, it was panic because I didn't know like, am I? Am I gonna be able to talk again? Or is anyone gonna understand what what's going on? Am I gonna tell my wife I love or am I gonna be Do any of you know and it was very scary and then it turned into pity party for a little while of course you know like oh my god what the hell am I gonna do who's gonna hire a guy that can only multiply and can't do anything else? You know how are we going to pay for our house you know my wife put frickin house on the market you know we're just…… Elzie Flenard  16:59 What's the best advice that you have received?
