Summary

On this week’s edition of Have More Money Now, John Layfield and Conrad Thompson sit down with entrepreneur and musician Mikey Rukus for an inspiring conversation about betting on yourself, trusting your creativity, and building a brand from the ground up. Mikey opens up about the risks he took to chase his passion, how persistence helped him carve out his own lane in the music industry, and why believing in your vision can change your life. The discussion also dives into the comparisons Mikey often receives to legendary WWE composer Jim Johnston, the man responsible for some of the most iconic entrance themes in wrestling history. Mikey shares what that comparison means to him personally, the pressure and pride that comes with it, and how he’s worked to create a unique sound that connects with today’s wrestling audience.
