Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Mike (The Positive Gaines) Gaines . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Mike (The Positive Gaines) thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
The most meaningful project that I’ve worked on would be writing children’s books. I had started a podcast and after about a year, I decided I wanted to write a children’s book. I wasn’t sure where to begin, what story to tell, how to publish it etc. I centered around telling stories that I went through, with a twist. I decided to incorporate my podcast platform name as the author name. So here I am with just about 3 years in podcasting and,I now have 2 children’s books out.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Podcasting wasn’t something I dreamed of doing. Being quarantined really pushed my thinking to expand more in life. After initially giving it a test run, i knew I liked it and would continue! I offer a podcast that centers around positivity, stories that may help someone, and advice. Most guests are famous, some from major motion pictures, The UFC, music, etc. I’d say I’m most proud of the direction that everything is headed. It appears that the podcast and creating children’s books can go hand in hand. I feel as though my brand has something for everyone, people can relate to different guests I’ve had on the podcast. On the book side, parents have a book that they can share with their kids, grandkids, etc.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
A particular goal that drives me everyday is my family. My family has been very supportive of everything, and I thank God for them.
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
A couple books that I enjoyed reading was How to get out of your own way – Tyrese Gibson
One another book would be Young, Rich & Dangerous: The Making of a Music Mogul – Jermaine Dupri.
