Hello, world, welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

Number 736, I'm your host, Don Hutchison. Every Monday and Wednesday, I interview someone around the world

who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and

freedom. On Fridays, I interview a well-known expert from the fields of personal or business

development who share experiences, tools, and insights to help our listeners

along their journeys.

One of the things that I tell people is to look at your hobbies, look at your interests, because

really passion is nothing more than a hobby set on fire.

That's what I tell people, look at what you're passionate about and gravitate towards that, either with a job or if it doesn't exist, start it on your own. And that just depends on where you're at in life and what your skillsets are. I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Mike Giannoulis. Welcome, Mike. Hey, I'm glad to be here. Thank you, sir. Mike, are you using your

talents doing work that you love? Yes, I am. Okay, well, we want to hear every bit of that story.

Mike Giannoulis' story begins in an average family where he had to work for everything he had.

He dropped out of high school, went back to get his degree, and then went to

college. As a guy who started his working life stocking shells on the overnight shift at a giant

retailer, he's seen the spectrum. He now grows and scales companies using real-world experience

to make this happen. His most recent company is on track to do 25 million in gross revenues.

He's a serial entrepreneur who develops systems to help other entrepreneurs run multiple

companies without having to be there. In 2012, Mike appeared on the ABC television show,

Extreme Weight Loss, losing 255 pounds. He has overcome a stutter, gone from the bottom of the corporate ladder to the top of the

mountain, and he loves helping others do the same.

Well, congratulations on that amazing journey you're on, Mike.

Tell our listeners around the world what you're engaged in now that has you excited and

motivated, if you would, please.
