In this episode, we sit down with Mikey Taylor, a former professional skateboarder turned multi-million dollar entrepreneur and real estate investor. Mikey’s nearly two-decade skateboarding career, highlighted by sponsorships, the X Games, and viral skate videos, taught him resilience, problem-solving, and the value of seeing obstacles as opportunities. As his skating career wound down, Mikey began laying the foundation for life after sports by co-founding Saint Archer Brewing Company, which was later sold to MillerCoors for over $35 million. This pivotal moment allowed Mikey to achieve financial freedom at 33 and dive headfirst into real estate. In 2018, he launched Commune Capital, which now manages over $200 million in real estate assets, including apartment complexes and self-storage facilities. Mikey shares how his experiences in skateboarding and business fueled his passion for educating others about financial literacy and the FIRE movement. We also explore his work on the Thousand Oaks City Council, his vision for empowering others to prepare for life beyond their careers, and how resilience and adaptability have been key to his success. This is an inspiring conversation about perseverance, building wealth with purpose, and leveraging challenges to create meaningful impact.
