How Producer Mike Will Made-It Is Making Millions From Music And Business

[@jamaycaharris7377]

“A mastermind is a collective of minds.” Profound

[@thursdaycampbell7399]

I was definitely taken aback off that one

[@mladabitanga2677]

That's not his own concept, Napoleon Hill spoke about mastermind groups for brainstorming back in the early 1900s

[@JVaden-o2j]

Mr. Williams hosted an art show at his building last summer- I sold every single painting I hung that day and the extras in the U-Haul. I thank him for that opportunity. Even stayed back late enough to meet him and Rae sremmurd and they were very kind and down to earth. I hope to work with them more in the future.

[@josiahamaze]

That's so solid

All this year FORBES has showcased black success without it feeling like they have an “Diversity” quota. Forbes keep it up. Our culture has so many successful individuals from small business owners to CEO’s of major corporations. 🔥 We are tired of being the topic of conversations only when it’s something negative ❤️

[@SamFocused]

Great to hear the Story of how Mike went from SuperProducer to a great Entrepreneur & Investor who always followed his Vision 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Love his mission to help the creatives after the money comes in. Inspiring Conversation 💯💯💯

[@slopaxo]

“9-5 never really worked out with me” now we on Forbes mama! Letsgo boys

[@PlatinumHustle]

To be honest, that’s a pretty broad statement. No sane person wants to work a 9-5 😂

[@slopaxo]

@@PlatinumHustle pretty sure most normies do

[@alicetheegreet]

You’re a really great interviewer. You always know how to connect to everyone you talk to and help them articulate what they are trying to say in a ways that you know your audience will be appreciate.

[@hiphopmgmt]

Y'all don't understand how competitive the Music, especially Hip-Hop is... And this man been riding it at the top for decades, it takes a special kinda of mentality and execution to achieve that.

[@hoopbeast7187]

For longer interviews I give about 10 minutes to see if it's worth it. Mike talking about how he reads the room to base if the song will be a hit is very smart. In statistics, we use sample sizes to assess the larger population. He may not have taken a statistics course but this is intuitively the best way to go about seeing if the song will do well. Word of advice increase the sample size to maybe 50-100.

Mike will was born in 1989, bro made a mixtape in his mama’s womb 😂

[@latenights6131]

Crazy how some of my favorite producers are still relatively young. Happy to see Mike Will doing his thing 🔥

[@hoodaffairstv]

i've personally seen this mans grind. A Young Legend 4sho

[@056_trey]

Mike Will is brilliant. sir i apologize, i was unfamiliar with your game💯 you’ve gained a new supporter

[@chrisbullock6477]

I have to say Forbes, I'm impressed with the concept and execution of this interview. Certainly stepped the online magazine game up compared to other legacy outlets like GQ, etc.

I'm loving these serious my guy Jabari Young and the team has been doing an amazing job of bringing us top influential people of our culture. I for one greatly appreciate it.

[@FiyaBretha-lh2tm]

He doesn’t speak very cogently… But I believe there is wisdom that he still drops

This is how God disguises his chosen people

​@@PremiumToyCollectFACTS

[@futuristiccavemanofficial]

​@@PremiumToyCollect huh? That's ridiculous.

[@ronalpha5097]

@@futuristiccavemanofficial I think you misunderstood what he meant. It's true. Some great people won't look or sound like what you think they should, even Moses had a speech issue. God issued his brother to pass messages to Pharaoh for him.

[@TheGDunkulific]

He sounds like me. He may deal with Cluttering (which is similar to stuttering as it affects the ability to convey your thoughts). In short, our brain goes a lot faster than our communication system can accommodate. We struggle with word finding and having a word on the “tip of our tongue”. This results in our messages jumping all over the place and not being concise in what we want to communicate

[@hhhfdaf5307]

🔥🔥🔥 great Interview

[@JAKITTACASH1]

Speak on ESTATES PLANNING, Wills, and TRUSTS along w EXPANSION 💯

[@alicetheegreet]

I believe the word he was looking for Miley Cyrus is **visionary** and brave. It takes a certain type of vision to recognize and then trust the talent of someone who isn’t well known yet; and then to let them flourish. I believe that’s what she did for him.

[@agentjacob4099]

Without a doubt, this year will be worse than the last. I lost a lot of money last year as a result of bad investment choices that I would not have made if I hadn't been so worried about my portfolio. I kept investing, but I couldn't determine whether to start paying for a house. In the end, I sold my positions, and the house needed more work than I had planned. I'm not sure how long I can keep going like this

[@ms_christinejones]

We've all made mistakes at some point. You should consider financial planning

[@LouisMorganxb3]

True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.

[@agentjacob4099]

Do you mind sharing your financial planner?

[@noahrad]

great interview

[@NateGoddard]

"I just told you." These reporters need to learn to actually listen instead of inserting their robotic follow-up questions. Mike spits out a detailed, insightful and interesting answer and bro follows up with a completely unrelated question because that's the one he planned to ask and it's more about him. Have a real conversation homie.

[@ProdByApm]

Yea I caught that too, Will was telling him and interviewer interrupted bro was dropping gems

Outstanding information,with world crisis,rising inflation and economic instability due to poor governance, consider digital assets as a means to attain financial freedom.

[@Janejones-hz6sj]

Building wealth involves good habits and risks like putting money into solid investments like digital currencies,having a good financial manager is what people tend to shy away from,and it keeps hunting them in the near future after many losses, be disciplined and get certified manager, I pray that anyone reading this will be successful!!!

[@DanielSmith-uv2yt]

Thank so much for the advice been seeking means of being successful in the digital market,do you recommend any professional ?

[@Janejones-hz6sj]

I don’t really do but luckily Anna Dorris Arthur is the best I can recommend so far..

[@DanielSmith-uv2yt]

I'm curious to know more about the expert broker you're considering. Could you share some details about their experience and why you believe they might be a good fit for people’s trading.

[@Janejones-hz6sj]

good reputation don’t lie makes me 17k weekly I’m so happy and I support the work of God now, the ability to manage risks is what makes me believe.

[@dtc8756]

Say what you want, but I've never heard of him doing bad business. Also, he doesn't seem to be getting taken advantage of like some of the artists who sound more articulate.
