Maybe one of the hardest and most vulnerable things Iv shared online 🙏🏻 Just want to be truly honest with yall, it’s always ways to talk about failures and hardships that are years in the past. But telling it in the depths 🫠

[@Karna00117]

Appreciate the honesty meng, It's why I follow you. Instead of presenting a false front for us to be in awe of, you get real and honest.

[@SilentMike]

Ya my leased Ferrari in credit card is late anyways 🫠 I do appreciate the kind words though truly 🙏🏻

[@Karna00117]

Ay man dont underestimate what a positive influence you've been to a lot of us who don't usually comment. I lost my desire to lift, and improve myself, from age 23-27. straight up if it wasn't for people like You, Omar, Alan thrall, Eric helms, matt ogus, i dont think i wouldve got that spark back.

[@god0fwar678]

I love this, Mike! Your channel is one of the reasons I decided to document my competition prep this year. Being vulnerable and uncomfortable is something we have to get used to for ourselves and no one else. I also 100% agree on the cinematic videos distracting from the information in them. Less flash, more substance. Keep doing you brother I'm here for it

[@chrisdalyyy]

What you said about running your own business showing you that everything is in your control, but also so out of it, really hit home with me. Loved the vlog, looking forward to more!

[@SilentMike]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@eddydrizzle]

You’re legit one of the most genuine people I’ve met in my life, Mike. I really feel you on the part about things bugging you. I am kinda the same, but I’m working on it. Keep the grind going. Tough times make tougher people

[@SilentMike]

💛💛💛 we keep it moving homie, lucky we crossed paths Eddy

[@YonexCC]

Appreciate the realism and honesty. Keep up the grind, I could never do what you're doing which is why I enjoy your channel and following along. We all have our trials and tribulations, but it's up to the individual that either pushes through, stops, or turns away. Keep it up!

[@Srstanrod]

Bro been following you for 10+ years since the old midtown barbell you one of the real ones! The economy is so fucked right now everyone is feeling it. I am making more money than I have before (nothing crazy substantial) but I am having to pinch pennies more than ever. I hope you find a way to stay afloat and keep living comfortably.

[@SilentMike]

AppreicTe the love for so long 🙏🏻 we keep moving, there’s always a way

[@Wisey_83]

Wife and I were discussing this over the weekend. Earning more then we ever have, but expenses in this past two years have more than kept up with it! Ridic!

[@leemedlin3100]

Nothing wrong with being vulnerable Silent Mike. Thanks for sharing. It's a breath of fresh air seeing someone on the internet, at the moment, being honest about life. Right now, across the US, with inflation kicking everyone's butts, the vast majority of people are in a tough spot; especially small business owners! You're doing all the right things. The famous saying goes "this too shall pass." Everything has a beginning and an end, and bad times are no exception. Hang in there. You've provided great content over the years. Cheers.

[@SilentMike]

Hit it on the head man, appreciate the kind words, we keep it moving 🙏🏻💛

[@dylancshea]

been following for such a long time & the sentiment throughout the video hits home - rooting for you, dude.

[@SilentMike]

Same bro 🙏🏻 only sending ya positives. Appreciate you rocking for the years

[@dylancshea]

my man 🤝🏼

[@mach500svt]

Looking forward to it. Been following for years & am also a car guy so I’m stoked to see what whip you end up with 🏎️

[@peppers1616]

I hope things work out well for you man.

[@nickschabacker5380]

Appreciate the vulnerability mike, been following since your first days online. Always loved the content and always will. Keep grinding brother good things will continue to come your way❤

[@damienlifts]

Man, this hit hard. WAY TOO relatable. I always say, you'll fail 9 times and when you couched on the 10th, everyone will say you got lucky. You've been a big inspiration to me for over a decade mate, keep going. It's hard out there right now.

[@judddddyy]

I love the message and the honesty i hope you keep pushing forward 😊 rebuilding seasons are hard but necessary. Purge the weak spots 👏🏽

[@SilentMike]

Only option is to keep it moving. 🙏🏻

[@pbj524]

love this and these kinda vids, even just the talking while lifting, hell yea!

[@LiamEryt182]

Some great perspective here Mike you’ve been a constant throughout my lifting “journey” the past 10+ years it’s sad to see you not doing as well as previous years. I think the fitness industry as it’s become more saturated is almost like dealing with the devil you have to sell your soul to stand out.

[@SilentMike]

You’re so right, Iv past on many business and collaboration opportunities because I just morally can’t. I had chances to “make it” but it’s not what the ultimate goal is

[@conanmagruder]

You helped me feel better about myself in some dark parts of my life. I root for you in whatever state you're in. Let me know if there's anything I can do from the other side of the world.

[@SilentMike]

Always appreciate you bro 💛💛💛

[@fahdkamil6863]

Brave video Mike! Inspiring. Great message to be authentic

[@SilentMike]

🙏🏻 means a lot, it doesn’t always feel the best but I think it’s what the internet needs

[@adamjc9167]

Like the Hawthorne Heights reference, brought me back to high school days.

[@dvmtraining6231]

Not the BMW! That thing was beautiful. Rooting for you since 2012 Mike!

[@IsaiahElliott180]

Before my greatest achievements or peak financial months, there was always a very real low that nearly took me out of the game. I’m currently experiencing one of those times too. But this time it’s my health. I’ve been so healthy the last three years and have been in the best shape of my life but 3 weeks ago, I got hit with something the docs haven’t figured out yet. It could be a bad abdominal tear or a hiatal hernia or maybe worse. I haven’t been able to hit the gym in 3 weeks. Haven’t missed the gym in 3 years. And I’ve lost 15 lbs. all my strength is gone. I can hardly move. And I got two kids. I just keep telling myself I’m gonna come back bigger and stronger because I’ve seen people come back from worse.

[@SilentMike]

Sending you all the positive vibes man, I’m sure yall will figure it out and you will be healthy and strong again

[@firejava]

Keep it up brother, keep pushing

[@taylifts]

Idk about Hawthorne Heights but YT might get your ass for Frolic, speaking from experience lmao. Being a "fitness professional" has been hard the last year and a half (also speaking from experience lol), you're definitely not alone! Rooting for you!

[@eslaubachel]

Wish you the best buddy

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

We all struggle fella. I’ve been self employed for years but have had to get a paye (employed) job now for financial security. England is getting more and more expensive to live in but our wages don’t go up to match the expense

[@artsim5977]

Mike this is gold!!!!!! There are so many “influencers” that talk about how they make so much money owning real estate and invest in the “sp500” but that’s all they talk about. Need more details for regular working class joes

[@mikeliterus1628]

I suggest looking into Jeff Booth, Parker Lewis, Jack Mallers, Michael Saylor.. this will get you started to become financially literate

[@SilentMike]

Thanks, I’m pretty financially literate. This doesn’t = automatic cash though, it doesn’t work that way. My investments are solid

[@mikeliterus1628]

@@SilentMike You said you are broke and hoping to be good in 5-10 years. I didnt say btc = automatic cash. Do you actually understand debt, credit, fiat centralized systems and why this is all destined to fail?

[@heftygainz]

I like the message. Honestly I find most influencers incredibly fucking annoying because its usually wealthy people just telling you how to stay wealthy, all while promoting/ selling you something lol.

[@SilentMike]

Ooof I feel it. KZbin was cool because it was transparent real vlogs & entertainment. Now it’s a flex off of clout and fancy material goods

[@ozzman31982]

They don't say what they did 10 years ago because they had no idea what they were doing, they found some sort of exploit and exploited it. Stop trying to win and make a life you want to live. Money ain't shit

[@SilentMike]

I’m not sure I agree, I think financial stability allows freedoms. I think wealth and finances are a crucial topic and harder to come by. I’m not trying to get rich, I’m trying to grow wealth

[@thomaspecorelli6104]

should jump back on the slingshot gravy train...

[@SilentMike]

I’m good.

[@eslaubachel]

Hey man reach out to Smelly and see what he can do for you

[@SilentMike]

I’m good, I got a roof and food. Focusing on wealth, not riches. it means sacrifice and not everything is liquid

[@artsim5977]

This video is very sulek. But I like it

[@afatasi4804]

IDK, Maybe you continuing to talk about your mental health is like gasoline to a flame, meaning. You never get the chance to move on, because YOU are constantly reminding yourself, therefore the cycle continues. This is just IMO and my approach may not work for all again IMO.

[@SilentMike]

This is called ruminating, yes it’s something that should be looked at and tools to help change thinking patterns. But not sure this video or I apply to this. I’m simply being transparent here

[@PedroMartinCorboRich]

who cares about you boi

[@SilentMike]

Seamingly you, who watched and even took the time to comment 🥰🥰🥰

[@mikeliterus1628]

honestly this is why more of us, trainers & coaches alike, need financial education to become financially literate. Honesty Mike if your plan over the next 5-10 years does not include bitcoin as a store of value, you're toast and not gonna make it.

[@SilentMike]

I don’t disagree that the more people understand finance the better off they are. Blanket statement of Bitcoin is where you lost me. Lots of stocks, real estate and options that are great places to hold money. Making money to begin with is a completely separate topic and a issue in our economy

[@mikeliterus1628]

@@SilentMike Hard to have nuance and much context in the YT comment section. Your reply however, still shows you dont fundamentally understand the problem.
