With so much change happening so fast in the word, and with so much instability on so many levels, it can be hard to stop and realize what really matters.

Do You Live in a Hostile or a Friendly Universe?
Do you live in a hostile or a friendly universe? How you answer that question can drastically inform what and how you achieve in life.
If we're creating negative energy and are fixated on worst case scenarios, then we're living in a hostile universe. And positive outcomes cannot happen in a hostile universe.
In this episode, I encourage you to focus your mind and creative energy toward finding positive outcomes in all scenarios.

An Inside Look at Mike Ayala’s Entrepreneurial Journey w/Matt Aitchison
After publishing more than 200 episodes of this podcast, I thought it was time to give you an inside look into my entrepreneurial journey.
I brought on my amazing friend and real estate investor, speaker and philanthropist Matt Aitchison to interview me about my life in investing, business, and tons more.
I open up and go deep about how I got my start in investing and entrepreneurship. You’ll hear about what motivated me to work for myself as an entrepreneur, what it took to make the big move, and how I took the leap to start my own business at 24 and haven’t looked back since.
Matt helped me bring you an episode loaded with value, in which I detail my “entrepreneurial awakening” and my “investment awakening.” I also go into detail about the systems, strategies, and mindsets I cultivated on my road to freedom.

Staying the Course To Get To Your Best Case Scenario
There's best case scenario, there's worst case scenario, and often where we land is somewhere in between.
My friend Justin Donald dropped that knowledge during our Next Level Couples Mastermind event recently in Austin, TX. And it's worth keeping in mind when we're cultivating a mindset around entrepreneurial endeavors like new investments and future ventures.
In this episode, I dive deep into this concept and share what I've learned while contemplating and putting this notion into action during these challenging times.
