© 2026 Think Bigger Podcast
Description
Everything we do comes from the way that we think. How we conduct business, how we treat our fellow human beings, our levels of success, you name it... it starts in our minds. The time has come to get out of our own way, change the way we think, and begin the growth that we all desire. The time has come to Think Bigger.

Do it. Make it real. Get it out of your head, and your heart, and talk to someone about it... in real life. That someone being me. Send me a DM on IG and share with me what is heavy on your mind right now. It doesn't matter how small, how heavy, how simple, or how complicated it is, whatever you are concerned about or stressed about, share it with me in a DM to my Instagram and I promise to read it answer you. We all need an unbiased, trustworthy place to talk and person to talk to, and that ...
Have you ever noticed how the Fast Lane is full, but the slow lane is the one with more room and actually moving more quickly? Now think of that instead of on the freeway, but in your life... why do so many people go to the the Fast Lane just to sit behind someone else wishing they could go faster, when there is a faster way right next to them.... From literal to figurative, in this episode we go into this perception and idea and break it down to discuss it as it pertains to our lives. I look...
"Give it how I live it." The foundation of this podcast and this community to me is authenticity. In this episode we discuss so many of the inner thoughts and outer experiences that we are all having or seeing others have as we go through this life, and I specifically open up and remind that I'm experiencing the same mindset shifts, hardships, and struggles - and that I have to fight to walk the walk live by the same standards that I give to y'all and that we discuss episode after episode. Th...
We're halfway through January of 2026... and just like that the month will be over and can be a repeat of previous scenarios in which you wanted to make a change, and yet somehow didn't. The reason for that lack of change starts within. What has to happen... to your health, to the country and society around you, to your finances, to anything that matters to you before you say Enough is Enough and do something about it? In this episode, that's what we talk about. - I appreciate you all f...
We're kicking off 2026 with a heavy dose of self-reflection, accountability, introspection, and mindset shifting! In this episode we talk about how the one common denominator in our lives is... our SELVES, and how we must start by looking within and making changes to how we see the world, to change how we live in this world and how we act and react to the problems that we have. This one is a jumpstart to the new year and to achieving your goals and resolutions, no matter how small or big! HAP...
This episode is dedicated to my friend, Deja, who just passed away from cancer. I was inspired to record this while driving home from her funeral, so please forgive the audio quality and just tune in to her story and the beauty of her life and how it can and should remind and inspire all of us to grab hold of the life that we have right now and LIVE. Everybody dies, but not everybody lives. Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Enjoy life: LIVE. - I apprec...
Sometimes it is really is right in front of us, but we don't see it because we aren't looking for it. This can be blessings, opportunities, the "silver lining" in a difficult situation, the list goes on... What you're looking for is what you'll find, and yet we can train ourselves (or be trained) to look at what others are doing, what we DON'T have, and things like that in which we see the things that make us unhappy and yet we stay surprised that those are the things that we keep on getting....
Is money the word that comes to mind to fill in the blank in the episode title? It’s understandable if it does. We get into that - what about pain, though? How much pain does it take before we learn our lessons and change? Can’t we learn from others’ hardships and experiences all around us and apply it? Or does it HAVE to happen to us first, and if so, WHAT needs to happen to us for us to decide to prep and plan NOW and be proactive… financially, mentally, physically, and more. In this episod...
This episode features an insightful discussion on automotive culture, personal passions and foundations for business and pride in bringing value and quality to the culture and the industry - as well as delve into what has led up to the creation of the ever-growing Motorcar Cavalcade Concours d'Elegance, and why it stands out amongst its peers. Thank you to Jason for having me at his esteemed workshop, and to the Charis Culture media team for the production on the video aspect of it. For all o...
Whether the loss of a home, or the loss of a loved one, life can (*WILL) hit each and every one of us with disasters that can break us and make us feel like our whole world burned to the ground. The question is, what good can be found in a disaster? From mental to physical and literal, in this episode we discuss the ways to look at what others have gone through, what we have gone through, and how there are so many good things that we can pull out of and from a disaster. I appreciate you all ...
And just like that 2025 is almost over… well, the first week of 2025 is almost over. And, in all seriousness, do you feel like we’re a WEEK into the new year? No! None of us do. But, I think it’s a perfect reminder already that if we do not get focused on the things that we want to do and accomplish, we will find ourselves saying, “Oh look at that, 2025 is almost over and I didn’t accomplish what I said I would… again!” So, my friends and family, this pod episode is your loving HAPPY NEW YEAR...
If you're looking for negative, you will find it. If you're looking for positive, you'll find that, too... at every point in our journey of life, in very obstacle and heartache, in every milestone and accomplishment, what you think about and train your eyes and heart to look for is what you will find... it seems obvious enough, and therefore easy to control, and yet we all as people need the strong reminder to stay vigilant with our thoughts and mindset as we navigate this journey of life. In...
This episode is special because our guest, T, spent time with me in person to talk and share her story with all of us the night before she went in to have surgery to remove both of her breasts. Yes, you read that correctly. She just finished 6 rounds of Chemotherapy and the doctors said the next step was to surgically remove lymph nodes and her breasts to remove any remaining cancer cells and to help prevent any from returning. So even with all that going on, she was kind and hospitable and g...
IF YOU'RE NOT GIVING, YOU'RE TAKING - What does that mean? The reality is that there is no neutral ground, there is no time where we can get complacent and lazy and not be thinking about how we are contributing to our relationships and giving to our loved ones, our friends, our community, and our culture. It means that our very existence inside of that relationship takes from the other person and people, so we must always be thinking of the other and giving to them. When we do that, we ...
The time is now! The time to... make a change, make progress on what you've been procrastinating on, eat better, exercise more, get healthier... anything and everything, THE TIME IS NOW. From people in the community whose lives have changed drastically due to a medical emergency, to the clock of life simply ticking away on all of us, to just listening to positive words to inspire and re-inspire you do a small thing or a big thing you've been wanting to do. The time do that is now.... T...
From racing shifter karts to wrenching on cars, to working at the ID Agency and Motortrend, to then creating his own company - the BMS Brand - my friend Brandon Scarpelli has an amazing resume and a work ethic and energy that is borderline unmatched. His successes and growths speak volumes, and it was an honor and a pleasure to sit down with him in his home to have a conversation for the community and for the culture. I look forward to you all listening, and I look forward to hearing your t...
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. It is because of your messages in person and on my IG livestreams, DM's, and comments, that I know how much the Think Bigger Podcast has and does mean to all of you. It is because of all of you that I have fought through my personal struggles and hardships and gotten back on the mic to create and provide this podcast for us to listen to and think about. I do it for the community, for the culture, and for the people - and your love and support has been t...
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are kicking off 2022 with Season 2 of the podcast. There has been SO MUCH going on in my personal life that has prevented me (or should I say, that I ALLOWED to prevent me) from being in the right frame of my mind to create for you guys. But it is because of all of you reaching out to me and letting me know how much the content means to you that I pushed and pushed myself and stepped out of my comfort zone to create this episode and open up about my personal life - and crea...
You guys honor me by sharing your personal stories and struggles and thoughts and dreams. Those of you that answered the call to action in the last episode really gave me insight and perspective and I hope and pray that I did the same for you with my responses. Because of all of that, I decided to continue this series and this episode is part two of that call to action. I look forward to you all listening to this episode, and to hearing from all of you in my IG Messages Thank yo...
There is a whole lot going on right now... What do you do when you feel like there is TOO MUCH going on? There are times when it just feels like life is hitting us from the left, the right, from friends, from family, from the world around us, and on and on... what do you do? How do you deal when you're in one of those phases where you just can't seem to keep up with something before the next thing comes up? In this episode, we talk about it. - I appreciate you all for listening. Thank...








Keep going Mike, stick with this. I always look forward to more content!
