50th Episode Special: Becoming Your Authentic Self

Parallel Mike Podcast

For episode 50 Mike is joined for a special in person interview on his farm in Poland by returning guest Jonny HODL of the Staying Free Podcast. Jonny interviews Mike on the topic of his early childhood experiences and the journey that led him to becoming the man he is today.
Mike explores what it was like growing up the son of a prominent British gangster who was sent to prison when he was aged 11 for his role in attempting to smuggle $40 million dollars of drugs into Great Britain. Mike discusses the impact this had on him and how he almost ended up going down a similar path in his own life.
They talk about turning obstacles into strengths, intuition and the profound changes that we are now experiencing as a consequence of big cyclical changes. Unstoppable changes, that one way or another we must accept and face up too with all the strength we can muster. In part 2 Jonny discusses his experiences of depression and what this taught him about living authentically.
All in all episode 50 is a story about growth and living with radical personal responsibility. Accepting what will be and moving forward courageously, knowing that the outcome is not what matters most, but how we act en route to it.
