E509: Life Update – Mike Jackness' Plans for the Next Year

With the recent sale in the rear view mirror, Mike talks about the plans he has for the future and what business he's thinking of getting into next to focus 100% of his attention on.   Today, Dave and I are diving into some events this year that have led to me ultimately choosing to let go of all my brands. We discussed a little bit on the last podcast episode, but Dave and I also discuss the rest of my plans for the future and moving towards embodying The One Thing.    Here's a few specific questions that Dave tossed out:  Were your other businesses being negatively impacted while you were a CEO for this previous project?
