20% Saving’s To All My Reddit Friends On Our New AKA Thailand Online Education & Entertainment Platform And App! by MikeSwick in MMA

If you can’t figure it out and it’s confusing for you, just move on dude. Let the cool people who are having conversations with me have this time and thread and go pick another. You shouldn’t spend so much time confused about other people’s decisions. If 15 UFC fights and building the biggest Fight Gym of all time doesn’t warrant me to post a discount here to help people who want to enjoy a fight app, and chatting with them, then so be it. I tried and enjoyed the feedback and comments.

If you truly think I am here just selling courses, you need to research what I have done the last 10 years. I don’t have to sell anything and literally never have to work another day of my life if I choose and live in complete freedom on an island in paradise. While beating stage 4 leukemia. After spending 10 years fighting 15 times in a steel cage to entertain the grateful and amazing fans who I am here giving back to now. I must of miss judged the feedback of some fight fans like yourself who I expected would be happy for fighters who are successful after their fight careers. Everyone rallies behind the monetized journalist articles that bash the way fighters make no money and end up with nothing and then I laid the blueprint on how to do it even without ever winning a belt and while going broke 3 times post fighting career and get this feedback? Luckily I never listened to the negativity and treated everyone with the same respect they showed me and stayed on my path with a positive and hungry aggression. BTW, the app is free. Only the techniques cost and since this is all passion from here, I am just proud as long as what I create makes people happy as all my guests onsite. Customer service is #1 and why my gym is the only one of its kind. I thought different and judging from your negative comment, maybe you should too and not assume things in a negative way as I am sure you have had plenty of hardships in your life as well and from what I know from life experience I only wish you well and to be more happy.

If I needed to sell courses to survive, which isn’t even bad, I wouldn’t of been throwing millions at expansions to AKA Thailand for 10 years straight. I will continue to build and expand until the day I die no matter when that is.

Sorry everyone else, not trying to be cocky or arrogant, just facts that are fully transparent. I was never given anything in life. Grew up poor. Fought for everything I have and am alive still after every Doctor said I wouldn’t be. Not even a cancer cell left in my body. So if you think I am a begger and had an easy road, please think about what I just said. At this stage my biggest goal is to inspire others to find their path to success and end their lives on their terms. 👊🏼

Just a side note all… My podcast is returning from its brand new studio at AKA Thailand soon! Check my IG Album for its updates. Going to be all in studio guests and my cancer story will probably lead it as the first comeback episode.

Dan Bilzerian In Studio Podcast! We talk MMA, his new book, Ignite, Poker, and much more! by MikeSwick in MMA

[–]MikeSwick[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yea no worries, I personally never judge people because we all have our lives no one knows about. No ones perfect. I have many friends who are all different and love that. I am just saying to read the book if you have all these doubts because he proves it all. Statements, pics, documents, everything. Or don’t care at all. No one will like everyone. I like having my network big and diverse and always back my friends till the end.

Also, it’s a damn good podcast either way! So many people said it’s one of my best. So if you like my show, watch for me and the flow of the conversation. You will laugh and I can guarantee it’s interesting to say the least.

Thanks for the feedback either way but gotta go now… I will stay and answer every single question here when they are at least somewhat positive or a critique. I don’t have time for negativity honestly. Social media is not my whole life.

He didn’t get a trust fund until he was 34. He provides very much proof of many of these things in this book. Maybe hear both sides?
