Would you consider yourself a competitive person? Maybe you have witnessed someone so persistent in showing up in their business that there was no other outcome than success? In this episode, I am chatting with Michael Romain to discuss the importance of showing up, being persistent, and not giving in to the temptations of a more simple life.
Mike is the editor and staff reporter at Wednesday journal. He's also the founder, editor-in-chief, and publisher of Village Free Press, a local independent portal of information, news reporting, analysis, and story gathering for Proviso Township. Mike has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and creative writing from the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. He is also a Maywood native. A special episode because Mike is the first guest invited to the show.
"I would not take on a PR or communications job, especially if I had to give up what I'm doing now, for any amount of money, because it's not enough. I value my freedom more than $100,000." - Michael Romain.
Highlights from my conversation with Michael include:
- Introducing Michael (1:09)

- Mike's reason to keep going (11:38)
- Why persistence is important (13:11)

Mike has such a great story and testimony on how the Village Free Press came to fruition, and I know he will inspire you after hearing it. As always, I would love to hear where you are in your business and how the show is helping you lead behind the scenes!
