We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Miguel Mike Medina . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Miguel Mike below.
Miguel Mike , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
Double L 94 Productions: I named my company after my grandmother. Her initials are two “L” and she was 94 when she passed away. She was a huge inspiration to my life. Naming my company after her is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I miss her dearly. I lived with her for 22 years and I’m sure she’s smiling at all of my accomplishments.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Aside from having my own film production company, Double L 94 Productions, which produces films, web series and theatre. I’m also the founder and creator of The MMM Journal – a rising independent media online company. The blog publishes Sports, Movies and Music articles. The goal is to provide more opportunities and create a platform for working in media remotely. It’s here to stay and it’s for the long haul.
I’m also the Podcast Host for “The Respect and Praise Show” and “Baseball Heat Podcast with Mike.” You can find “The Respect and Praise Show” episodes on YouTube on the Double L 94 Productions channel and the baseball podcast on Spotify.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
I watch a lot of YouTube videos about management and entrepreneurship such as Patrick Bet-David and Valuetainment, Brian Tracy. Movies like The Wolf of Wall Street, Moneyball, The Social Network. As for Books, there are so many, but I would say Blue Ocean Strategy and How to Win Friends and Influence People.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Rejections and constructive criticism have always pushed me to become resilient in anything I do. My creative writing professor refused to write me a letter of recommendation because she didn’t feel that my writing was strong enough for grad school. I had an A in her class during my last semester in college as an undergrad.
Getting left back in 5th grade was one of the most challenging times I ever had to go through. It taught me that you can’t achieve success without failure.
I have several businesses that I’m working on. I can’t say I’m an entrepreneur, but I’m an amateur working to become an entrepreneur. It all takes time, focus, hard work, dedication, and fearlessness.
