Malik Haleem, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?
I currently own 3 social media businesses; MahatonPlace.com, OnlyAthletes1.com, and OnlyUniforms2.com
1. Mahaton Place: is the first 2 letters (Ma) of my first name (Malik), the first 2 letters (ha) of my middle name (Haleem), and (ton) is the last 3 letter of my last name (Swinton).
2. Only Athletes: was created for athletes worldwide, need that be high school, college, semi professional, and professionals.
3. Only Uniforms: was created for men and women in uniforms from the military, law enforcement, doctors, nurses, and even construction workers. Basically, those individuals that do not wear civilian clothes to work.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
My name is Malik Haleem Swinton and I am an African American male and Disabled Military Veteran. I am one of very few multiple business owners in this country. I am the Founder, Owner, CEO, Author, Publisher, Writer, and Editor in Chief of MahatonPlace.com™️, OnlyAthletes1.com™️, and OnlyUniforms2.com™️. I served in the U.S. Army/13F. I have 2 college degrees from the University of Oklahoma (BA) and the University of Phoenix (MBA). I am a former All-BIG XII Track and Field student-athlete while at the University of Oklahoma. I am a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated; Spring 03/ Pi Delta Chapter, University of Oklahoma. I retired from the Department of Justice as a Federal law enforcement Officer (LEO) and a Human Resources manager. I love reading, learning, working out, boxing, training in MMA, and being creative. I enjoy learning as much as possible about some of the greatest thinkers and intellectuals throughout history such as: Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, and Confucius. I noticed in 2020 during the Covid crisis and even now that most people throughout the world are spending a great deal of time in front of their computer, tablet, cellphone, and television. That is when I founded all 3 of my businesses and companies. It actually started as 1 company (LLC) and 1 business; but as I read more and more books, I learned that past founders and or successful owners had a backup plan. So, in January 2020 I started unleashing my creativity and created 3 companies: (Malik Media Enterprise LLC, Haleem Media Enterprise LLC, and Swinton Media Enterprise LLC) and 3 businesses: (MahatonPlace.com, OnlyAthletes1.com, and OnlyUniforms2.com). Everything was eventually incorporated in 2021. I took 1 business idea and turned it into 3. I took 1 standard business revenue from each company and found at least 20 different means of making money. (Mahaton) are the initials of my first, middle, and last name. And I decided to call it a (Place) after brainstorming because I want it to be a place where people can come and spent hours entertaining their self. Nevertheless, Mahaton Place is a social media hybrid Information Technology e-commerce platform. On MP one can learn the best dating tips, advice, techniques, how to dress, and where to wear it, how to speak, what to say and the best places to say it, the best locations to meet a male or female, and much more. I also have multiple packages based on someone’s budget and a variety of newsletters called: (Luvers Lane) and multiple eBooks called: (The Worlds Big2est Secrets). Lastly, I created a feature called: (Ask The Expert) for serious users that need or want instant dating, sex, and or marriage advice. I wanted to shared my expertise and experience because I have been asked for dating and dress style advice for decades and this is my way of giving back; even after my lifetime on this planet has past. Next is Only Athletes. By the way, I created all of these businesses after researching the dating and marriage statistics in the United States and found a terrible trend. And that is out of 10 people that get married 5-6 will be divorced within 5-7 years and that number is worst for athletes and military personnel. But what readers and or the average person do not see or understand is the poor mental health that comes with a divorce or breakup. Many heartbreaks results in suicide or years of depression. Now, I wanted to help some of that hurt by creating a platform for athletes and people in uniforms living throughout the world. They can learn on Mahaton Place and then log on onlyathletes1.com and onlyuniforms2.com or any website for that matter. It’s a great way to practice what they learn.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
At a young age I was a star athlete in high school and I decided to join the military in 1998 after being in a highly dysfunctional and abusive family. I became a Reconnaissance (Recon), and Logistics team leader. I worked primarily at the Headquarters and Headquarters Battery. Years later I enrolled at The University of Oklahoma and join the Track & Field team and made the All-Big XII team. I took 4 years off and still made a Division I team at major university. Also, while enrolled in classes and being a student-athlete, I decided to join the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc.; one of the toughest and hardest things I have ever done. While doing all of those things I mention above; I decided to take modeling and acting classes when it was not in class, on the track, and helping my community volunteering with my fraternity. After that, I graduated with my Pre-Law/Bachelors of Art (BA). I took a couple of months off to rest, and then jumped into my Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. I was soon recruited by a number of different federal agencies. I started as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer after graduating with my certification of training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC). A year or so later I was promoted to a Human Resources Specialist and immediately to the HR manager. I did both jobs simultaneously. I retired years later and took a break to travel the world and in 2020 I decided to go into business for myself. I took everything I knew and learned about the dating, sex, and married world from my 2 decades of traveling and meeting thousands of people and put it on paper, and then transcribed it digitally. I am proud of the fact that not one thing I accomplished was easy. And I am happy of the fact that not one goal I accomplished was easy and people hate me for that. They hate that I am proud of doing something someone else has not or can’t do. Or they can do it BUT decide it is too hard and give up. I am also overly proud that my 4-year-old son said he will be better than me. That made me happy and proud.
