Welcome to the Edd and Mylett show. This podcast is for those who want to do more. See more and be more.

Welcome back to Max out everybody. I'm Ed Mylett. Today is going to be interesting. It's probably one of my more difficult introductions because this man's accomplished so many different things. We talk about Max and now it's maxed out multiple areas of his life.

Michael is named first. He's going to sound familiar to you. The man to my right here is Marshall Silver and Marshall. Great to see you Ed. Great to see you.

Thank you for being here. Too long coming man. I know. Everyone's been trying to get us together and we finally connect here today. And in researching you, that's why these intro is so difficult.

He's played on all the main stages in Vegas but on Letterman 5, 6 times all the late night shows. And that's how I knew you. It's from back in the day watching you do that. And then he's parlayed that into an incredible career and all kinds of other venues.

So I call you. You're an author, you're a speaker, you're a personal development expert. He calls himself a millionaire maker which he's done many, many times over and over again. I think you're a thought leader.

But he's really a person that can teach you how to influence other people and because he's so influential. And so you're talking about somebody who's had an infomercialist in over $100 million. He said $200 million in sales himself decided to retire and then started to have a family.

And so my favorite part about you though of that entire intro is the most impressive part is the way that you speak about Erica, your wife, your goddess.

And she loved that lady, right? And we always are men referred to us and thought of us that way. And then Sterling, Maximus and Prosperity.

Sterling Silver got a better point. Sterling Silver. Sterling Marshall Silver like his father yet a little more refined. Maximus Marshall Silver and Prosperity Erica Silver.

It's pretty awesome. It's fun. And that changed your life because that sort of leads us to today to some extent in that really the birth of prosperity.

Tell them about just your life, a little bit about your background, what you would achieve. And then what the catalyst was to sort of reengage on this maximum level you've been unknown.

I was born on a farm in Michigan. We had no running water. We had no electricity. We had no phone. I have 10 siblings. And my mom pretty much raised all the kids on her own because of just fathers coming and going.

And so very early on I realized if I was going to get anything I had to get it myself. The second home we lived in was a converted chicken coop.

We were homeless for a period of about two, three weeks in the middle of a Michigan winter. And they knew we were going to die. And so they converted a chicken coop and we lived there for four years.

And it was a great place for me at seven years old. The place had running water, had electricity and no adverse side effects. It was great.

It used to do magic shows in the barns and you know, building into haunted houses. I started the magic when I was seven. And then I discovered it. Ten that people would pay me to do what I loved. And I thought, this is it.

And so I was a professional magician all my young years. Really? Yeah. And when it's a, how do you think I'm curious because you've talked about this with your own kids.

You were going to go in and out of different things here. Because I obviously today we both agree. We want to really serve the audience. And you're just such a wealth of knowledge in all these other areas. But I know a child's upbringing influences them.

You've talked a little bit like ton of ages zero through eight. How their brains are still all of our programming is already done.

So how did that affect you? And then what has what's been the contrast that you've tried to do with your kids? My father was a very.

He was a hardcore alcoholic and a mean drunk. And when he and my mother divorced, I would call my dad on the phone to tell him I loved him. And he'd say the first words out of his mouth would be you little less.
