The Pathway To Purpose Is Not Always A Straight Line - with Mike Malbon

This week, Steven talks to Mike Malbon, a former associate of street artist, Richard Hambleton, and an avid collector of his works. Mike joins the show to talk about the ways in which New York has changed, the crossover between all street cultures, and why the path towards your purpose isn't always the one you imagine. KEY TAKEAWAYS The barbershop in society has always been a not just a place to get groomed, but also a meeting place for likeminded individuals. Mike has married this concept to his thriving business, Frank's Chop Shop. Finding your purpose in life is not necessarily something that happens early on in life. Sometimes we grow to realise our path by spending time in and around life itself. There is much that overlaps in the world of the streets, no matter which pursuit you're following. Skaters, street artists, musicians - they all thrive and survive on the streets, and share much common ground. Art has emerged as one of the safest havens in which to invest, in order to protect wealth. In times of recession and uncertainty, people stockpile artworks in order to save and protect money. BEST MOMENTS 'I always knew I would be somebody' 'The barbershop has always been a hub' 'If you come and get the chop shop experience, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about' 'The market is in the right people's hands' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study      Mike Malbon LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-malbon-3b076819/ ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
