Yeah, My Friends Call Me Mike, Michael

There Are So Many Things That I Still Want To Do. My Foundation, Growing My Brand . . . The List Is Endless. I'm Honestly Busier Now Than I Was When I Was Swimming. It's Kind Of Weird, But I Feel Like More Of An Adult Because I Have To Do Stuff Every Day. Whether It's Checking Emails Or Making Phone Calls Or Doing This And That, It's Fun For Me. It's The Start Of A New Chapter. At Times, It Is Frustrating, But I Know It's Not Going To Be Easy To Accomplish The Goals That I Want.

I Think The Biggest Things I Am Looking Forward To Is Getting New Faces Into The Sport. Getting Kids Who Could Be Afraid Of Water To Feel Comfortable In The Pool.

Being Able To Do Something That's Never Been Done Before, That's What I've Always Wanted To Do. . . . There Was Nothing That Was Going To Stand In My Way Of Being The First.

With Social Media, So Many People Have Anxiety And Depression Because Of It. Of Course Technology Is Somewhat Good, But It Can Present So Many Issues; More And More We're Seeing What That's Causing, And It's Even Leading To Deaths. I Just Got Finished Doing A Documentary Called Anx With Children Talking About Anxiety And Recognizing Their Emotions And Understanding Them Better. We Need To Let Kids Know It's Ok To Not Be Ok. And We Need To Help Them Be Comfortable Talking About It.

So Many People Along The Way,whatever It Is You Aspire To Do, Will Tell You It Can't Be Done. But It All It Takes Is Imagination. You Dream. You Plan. You Reach. There Will Be Obstacles. There Will Doubters. There Will Be Mistakes. But With Hard Work, With Belief, With Confidence And Trust In Yourself And Those Around You, There No Limits.
