Hey Party People!   Join me for this episode where parts one and two of Let's Meet Myke! get connected!   "Mychal 'Myke' Connolly is an entrepreneur who somehow turned a digital billboard truck, children’s books, marketing, and inspiring kids into one very unusual career. Born in the Bahamas and arriving in America with just $20, he’s spent his life chasing big ideas and encouraging other people to do the same. He’s the founder of Stand Out Truck® and the nonprofit Realistic Lemonade, where he and his son Mychal Jr. aka Realistic CEO™ help young people believe their dreams are possible. He’s obsessed with marketing, human behavior, random business ideas, and asking “What if?” a little more often than most people. If there’s a strange connection between two ideas, chances are Myke has already built a business around it." - Myke Fb: @mrstinkycakes IG: @StandOutTruckKing Website: https://www.realisticceo.com/ & www.standouttruck.com .
