40+ Years of Financial Freedom, Putting God First, and Why Security is Overrated with Mike Wilson

Mike Wilson was the most unlikely person to become a global entrepreneur and sought-after speaker in 20+ countries, all while living a life of total time and money freedom with his wife Karla for four decades and counting.

"Introvert" and "loner" are just a couple of the words Mike would use to describe himself. He never graduated from college and his passion was tennis, not business.

And so begs the question... How did he do it?

Listen in as Mike and I go down a winding road on today's episode, talking about everything from the science of success, to the keys to leadership and entrepreneurial success, to strengthening your faith in God in the toughest of times, to why most people desire security over freedom.

Sovereign is a platform for storytellers—artists and entrepreneurs—to be able to openly share a diverse range of ideas.

Few other types of people have the power to shape civilization than storytellers.

At a time when there seems to be no end to societal tensions around the world, almost everything is becoming politicized, and "censorship" and "cancel culture" have become buzzwords, we need more storytellers to rise and level a playing field that seems to be leaning one way over all others.

The world needs more stories. We're here not only to tell them, but also to get them told.
