The scrapbook...shout out to everyone who had a grandma who loved them that much. I grew up with a single mom who worked all the time, so my grandma worked hard to help raise me, and I wasn't always an easy kid to raise. I'll always love her, just wish she could have lived forever and known my kids. Go give your grannies a hug and kiss if you still got em!

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

Same. My grandma pretty much raised me but left too soon

His parents played such a huge role giving him the information that he could get paid and needed to be paid , salute to them 🙌🏿

[@bakeraus]

Sure did, and now he's sharing information for free. Other people are giving out a heap of free information to help others in Stock Market, Real Estate etc...hardest thing for most is getting that initial money to invest.

I love Mikey so much. He’s such an all around good dude and he made skating seem so fun with his personality ❤️

[@amado7760]

Hands down best skateboarding video I have ever seen in my life - Thank you Mikey Taylor, congratulations on your entrepreneurial success, and your willingness to share your wisdom to help others grow financially and hopefully reach financial independence.

[@atanjorquia]

The best content! Love Mikey since his Etnies days! And still hyped to always see him sharing and educating people about business and passion. Appreciate it a lot Berrics! Thanks for this! God bless y'all! Love from Philippines.

[@RollForever88]

Still remember the in bloom part Mikey. Iconic. Must’ve fallen asleep to that video 1,000 times in my adolescence.

[@deveron372]

this is what skateboarders needed to hear.

[@bakeraus]

All young people need to know this, I'm 38 now and I'm only just working out how to make money work for me. It's a different world but the access to information is so amazing now

[@RubenMaciel]

This is GREAT! More content like this plz and congrats Mike

[@gooseallie4417]

Mikey is a legend. Nicest guy too

[@spyboy33]

This is amazing, Mikey gets it, us as skaters hurt our selfs all the time for company’s and they can let us go any time, I know, heard of people get hurt and company’s dropping them. Our main goal as skateboarders is to try to skate as long as we can, school, company’s don’t teach us any thing about money. I’m happy someone like him is teach us how to be money smart and how to have more of a living. Mikey your awesome.

[@samljackson3983]

This was so rad I love this Mikey is the man one of the best personalities in skateboarding

[@platinumhandymansolutions]

So sick! Stoked to have gotten to see you and the crew at Newbury all the time back in the day. Miss skating and being old now.

wish there ws content like this when i was young. great for the kids

[@jasondashney]

He was on Maple?! I skated with him in 2001/2 with Tyler Hansen (Maple am, and I was the filmer and TM for Maple) and I'm amazed the subject never came up because this wouldn't have been long before that he was on Maple. Super nice guy.

Yeah, this was really awesome, I enjoyed watching this. Thank you. 🤔😁

Mikey Taylor Gang! I remember first finding Mikey in videos at the early berrics playing skate or dice; so crazy to see where he has taken himself! Great content

[@ryanmccoy602]

Thankful for this video

[@ryanrowe1975]

Mikey Taylor has just starting skateboarding since 1996 and a pro skater to flim a video of a skate sponsor is going to change Mikey Taylor through skateboarding and the companies that provides a elite budget on Santa Cruz Skateboards companies and switching to be with Eric Koston, Tony Hawk, Chad Muska, and vice versa while planning to get a 3 or maybe 5 years deal it is depending how much money from the sponsor of each sponsor is making the sponsor and helping out with sponsor and other skaters companies producing a good profit on social media to invest in their own income and a discount on the price of a project might have a contribute to learning and basic of fundamentals from skateboarding and self-discipline, and also benefit from the company of skateboarding!

[@ryanrowe1975]

Im just here to make sure that flat ground kick flip near the ends gets some hype.

[@mattimaranda9638]

This whole thing just seemed like "how can I make skateboarding owe me???"

[@Chyeahokay]

I like seeing old pros find success in outside ventures. to many pros now end up with bum ass jobs post skating.

[@Bobbytheman98]

This is what every pro skater needs to learn. Investment. Just like every sports career it doesn’t last forever and I wish skateboarding had a skaters association or 401k or whatever but it doesn’t. I think if possibly skate companies need to figure out how to make that happen.

[@HelloHello-gv2gg]

Mikey is an inspiration. Thanks doode!

[@GoofyFootersRule]

Mikey Taylor.....wow Full grown and brilliant

[@boogiekush9391]

Didn't realize there was so many but hurt people , his parents had money knowledge from the rip and made sure he learned as well. He saved his money , made companies and sold them... That's business and how creative people get paid, so confused why people are so upset with him. Who cares if I think it's whack , he's worked hard and earned it🙌🏿

[@dadboard]

“His parents had money knowledge from the rip” “He’s worked hard and earned it” PICK ONE

[@boogiekush9391]

@@dadboard why ? You can't do both? I don't come from money but I will always respect hard work. He literally said he lived off of 20% of his income and saved the rest and invested . That doesn't sound like daddy's money to me 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@dadboard]

@@boogiekush9391 someone who came up with the safety net of daddy’s money won’t ever make it look like they had that safety net. I respect hard work and hustle but let’s not act like ol Mikey got it out the mud. Dude had a silver spoon

If you dont come with a silver spoon, you make your own spoon. The statistic says that about 80% of millionaires are self made and they didnt got any daddy money. Eat that.

[@dadboard]

@@komoonkh “Eat that” what you parroting conservative talking heads that put out a baseless “study” in blog form? You believe everything you see on tabloid news sites? Show me an actual study. I’m not taking some fidelity investments poll you googled as fact.

Cool idea for skaters that have a network of people. Mikey gets to invest in real estate and a bunch of other cool startups.

The world is shifting. the meta is about selfgrowth. if the berrics are dropping videos like this, then you have to start realising, that people are starting to truly focus on their future.

mikey has aged every since he stopped skating professionally

[@parkouratheight]

A lot of mad people in the comments who didn't even look his company up. You can go to his website and they list what they invest in. Single family residences isn't even in their portfolio.

[@CraveThatCoin]

A lot of haters in the comments. Mikey is a smart guy. Unlike most pros who retire broke he was smart and knew that at some point he would no longer get paid to skate. Skaters like all athletes would benefit from learning how to invest their money because its easy when youre the best in the world to miss that at some point you will be overtaken

[@MichaelNickolai]

The sound editing on this is horrendous… it would be nice if they can re upload this without the distracting loud music whenever Mike talks

total ad from guys who don't skate anymore

[@19rayrayray90]

kids nowadays thinking like "i'm gonnab e a pro and make millions like prod and nyjah". dude, they are literally the only two skaters in this whole world that makes millions out of sponsorship. the rest are entrepreneur. Like tony hawk, rob dyrdek, koston, muska, etc. look at the pros now. how much money they have if one day their sponsors decided to shut their contract?

[@joshuapowers4623]

This isn't to Bash this dude, but I'm incredibly interested in knowing exactly how much 20% of his income was. Because if he was making more than 150 grand a year ten years ago, 20% of that is more money than about 60% of workers are making today. That's the biggest reason the percentage of people saving for retirement is so low. It's literally not possible for most people anymore.

[@jasondashney]

If you are making less than $30,000 a year, then, no, you don't have any money to invest. The average salary in America right now is $55,640 per year. You need to save what you can. Start somewhere. Upgrade your skills, delay, having kids, you have to do what you have to do. Go get a job in the trades. They pay well with minimal education.
