dedicate to finding yourself the highest paying job that puts a roof over your head, but preferably in your chosen industry.

Because you need to be able to kind of do a little bit of both.

If you can't do it in your preferred industry, then it at least puts a roof over your head. I'm going to do.

And the new. And the Michael has a very interesting name.

It's Michael Angelo and I was just telling people like, dang, somebody's parents had a good like sense about style and aesthetic

or maybe sense of humor.

Just before we get too deep into the episode and we're going to get into like how this very interesting

arc that you've been on in your career being employed and then breaking away from my employment and everything you've

learned and I think our audience is going to get a lot from your

journey specifically because you're kind of right in the thick and the character in the story being you are

about to have a massive turning point and I'm like on the edge of my seat, like what happens next?

I almost feel like this episode is about nine months too early because I think end

2024 would be an amazing story so maybe that's setting us up for a part two where we can follow up with you. But tell me what it's like growing up with the name.

Am I saying it right? Is it Michael Angelo? It's Michael Space Angelo and it's funny you bring that up. A lot of people do bring that up that my name is Michael Angelo. It's actually very new.

So my original last name or my original full name was Michael Angelo Gomez.

And it wasn't until about a year ago

when I got married that I dropped that last name and just went under as

Michelangelo because my first big like salary gig like that guy you know he had a ton of applications for the job and he only remembered mine because my video production name or everybody that I would you, I used to call it a stage name until I was told not to call it that.

But they're just like, yeah, just go under your middle name and that's how he recognized me.

So I used it for so long and then like probably three or four years been using it and I was like you know I'm just going to make it official when I get married so it's actually a very recent thing that it's Michelangelo.

When you say make it official, what does official mean?

Like legally changing it.
