<![CDATA[Millennial Mike]]>Millennial Mike

No one's path is linear. The past builds the future. And nobody really knows what they're doing, we're all just figuring it out.

Welcome to Millennial Mike — the podcast for the generation that grew up between dial-up and fiber, Blockbuster and Netflix, MSN Messenger and TikTok. We're the bridge. The ones who remember when $100 felt infinite, jingles were sacred, and the radio actually mattered.

Each week, host Mike takes you back — not just to laugh (though you will), but to remember that every weird job, every cringe moment, every spectacular failure was a stepping stone that got you exactly where you are today.

If you burned a CD for a crush, worked a job that humbled you, or can still sing the Pizza Nova jingle from memory — pull up a chair. This one's for you.

🎙️ New episodes every season. Stories told are better than read.

Ridiculous, unhinged, song-filled videos between two internet strangers who became best friends before they ever met in person — and then finally did, running toward each other in slow motion to Chariots of Fire in the middle of Paris. (Yes, really.)

For the very first episode of Millennial Mike, I sat down with the person who basically dared me into starting this podcast: Jenna Jean Davis — gymnastics coach turned "Juicy J" the Australian juice-shop girl turned social media agency owner turned viral content creator turned yoga teacher turned actual French resident. We go full memory lane: the backflip she still hasn't landed, the TikTok that went viral by accident, the dating-with-IBS series that built her first 100K followers and turned her most embarrassing moments into a whole support group, and the one-way ticket to Nice that turned into a whole new life.

It's messy, it's hilarious, it's oddly moving and it's the conversation that convinced me to hit record in the first place. Grab your headphones, this one's a ride.
