[…] You can also stack with gift cards, as Mike, Joe and I discussed on the latest podcast. […]
[…] met him at conferences and listened to his podcast interview with the Saverocity Observation deck (found here) from around the time of the Chicago Seminars. Mike has seemed like a nice guy to me in person […]
Hey Mike, where is my money? Are you bankrupt?
Saverocity, you need to follow up on this.
What’s the story with Mike? Lots of people are owed money.
Would love to hear a follow-up on this now that we know he scammed everyone, he had a previous bankruptcy that NO ONE ever would’ve worked with him if we’d known that, etc.
Yeah we definitely need to do that
