I Give Up, I Quit!
Sometimes to find enjoyment and success you have to give something up.

Customer Reviews
Top Notch
I really enjoy listening to Mike’s Wax pack hero podcast. He brings a humility to his talk that is very inspiring. He talks about the importance of balancing family, his job and his hobby, and has very relevant subjects in his podcasts. He and I are both finance guys so I feel akin in that regard as well. I would also feel comfortable having my kids listen in as the language is very family friendly. Well done Mike!
