Join us as we explore the remarkable journey of Mike Cyger, a quintessential serial entrepreneur who took a bold leap into self-employment, leaving behind the security of a Fortune 500 career. Contrary to popular belief, Mike's path to success has been paved with challenges, including the sale of his company not once but twice.
Throughout his journey, Mike has successfully established well-known industry brands like Domain Academy and Domain Sherpa. In this episode, we dive into Mike's experiences, from his leap of faith into self-employment to his investments in his 30s and his ventures in the domain industry.
