How to Get Unstuck with Owner Shift with Mike Malatesta Retire As You Desire

    • Investing

Often, entrepreneurs hit success, and then it just stops there in that one success. They get stuck, and then they don’t know how else to move on from there. The same is true for Mike Malatesta. In this episode of The Retire As You Desire podcast, host Bill Bloom is joined by Entrepreneur, Investor, Author, Host & Creator of How'd it Happen Podcast to talk about Mike’s book Owner Shift and his next big goal.
 
Mike Malatesta started his first business in 1992, seven months after being fired from a company he had dreamed he might lead one day. Over the next twenty-two years, he helped run, lead, and grow that startup, selling it for more money than he could have imagined.
 
Mike, the How’d It Happen podcast creator, is deep into his second startup and an active early-stage investor. His mission is to help as many entrepreneurs as he can to create companies that improve people’s lives and, maybe, the world.
 
Mike lives in Wisconsin with his wife, Jamy. He’s active in YPO, Abundance 360, and Vistage Worldwide.
