Meet Mike Gaines | The Positive Gaines Podcast & Author

We had the good fortune of connecting with Mike Gaines and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mike, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
Some habits that have helped me succeed would be, being punctual, patience, and paying attention to detail.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a podcaster closing in on 3 years.The podcast features guests from movies, UFC fighters, musicians and more! I’ve also self published 2 children’s books. The books are based on true events through my life. My platform isn’t as traditional as others, it’s more of a brand, instead of just one particular thing. Nothing has been easy, but it’s been well worth the journey! I’ve learned to be patient, to listen, and to look forward, not backwards. I’d like the world to know that this platform has something for everyone, and that positivity can change a mindset.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
The Gila Valley has plenty to offer! If you’re in the mood for some great Mexican food I’d recommend El Mesquite Taqueria or La Casita. We have many options for off-roading, hiking and fishing. I’d recommend heading to downtown Safford, as there are many shops, coffee stops, etc.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family, friends, and all who have supported my platform. It means a lot to have people in your corner who truly root for you! When you first start out with something brand new, you never know who it’ll resonate with. I’m grateful to have so many people who support the vision!
