Time to get paid!!!!

Up until now, you've been providing your services for free...lol.

Appears to me, you work pretty hard at it too, Monday through Friday. As your new adviser...I don't recommend you starting a gazzilion threads on MD anymore, until we can discuss some sort of compensation.

**kSwiZZLe** · 08-31-2015, 05:06 AM

BMC...I was joking for the most part, (Mike is a star, 15 minutes of fame) but you are commercial enough with most of your 40 thousand plus posts on MD, minus the excessive weed and porn advocating. Get rid of that and you'd be super commercial. Some might even call it, a sell out...Lol

Didn't that David Baye fellow get his start at MD in a position not dissimilar to yours? only you have about 10,000 more posts than he does, and you've been with the forum longer. Time to start making some demands?

David was just a regular member then he got the call to the big leagues! LOL He has a great gig. Traveling and covering shows. Im sure its a shit ton of work though.

No more porn and weed posts? WTF??? Im not sure if that's possible! I like to smoke and think it should be legal. Man I love this sport, but I don't think I could ever do something full time in this industry bc there is no security like in most "real" jobs. Blechman can get rid of Dave and Adina at the drop of a hat. No meeting with HR to discuss it. LOL I like the security of my "real" job, but who knows, maybe something a few weekends a month like I discussed with MPJ would work

Yes sir! Im pretty normail in "real" life. Pretty boring actually.

Where people work hard and produce a good product their skill set provides its own form of security. David and Adina can both transport their skills and experience to other companies in the fitness industry if that were ever to become necessary.
As for you Mike, you are something of a celebrity who deserves to capitalize on it. Surely you have ruffled feathers and you and I have had disagreements over that as for me this is just business, the business of bodybuilding. Guys like Shawn Ray and Bob Chic provide excellent examples of how you can be your own man and make it big in the sport providing value to it as a commentator and analyst and make a good living. Palumbo does a good job too in so many respects as does Aceto and Romano. That's obviously what keeps this site relevant. I don't agree with any of you on everything, but that's life. We all love this sport and industry though.
Looking forward to working with you in a couple weeks if you have the time. Let me know and I'll see about getting you press access.

^^^Will definitely let you know. Im just glad I was able to get my NPC card after my posts about how the NPC was handling their business. LOL Like Shawn Ray or hate him (there is no middle ground) he is a damn good businessman! Only jobs he has held were in bbing. Never a normal 8-5 gig. But, he hustles hard!

Cox, I advise you to go to this meeting. You both live in Florida; it's set.

Don't get all anxious and afraid and thus find an excuse to back out into obscurity. If you don't explore this potential now you may not get another opportunity, which is fine too; in that case, it was not meant to be. Things appear to happening fast for you Mike. Don't get scared...hahaha!

Imagine how jealous Rocky 3 will get when he here's of this...

**kSwiZZLe** · 08-31-2015, 07:57 PM

PS. you should let a.j know you are still married...might change his batty boy opinion of you.

He thinks you are hardcore gay.
