Time To Grow

In this week’s episode, Kyle is joined by the one and only Mike Fata. After dropping out of school at just 13 years old, Mike joined the workforce earlier than most. When he found himself weighing upwards of 300 pounds at 18 years old, Mike began a weight loss journey that would spark his passion for the health industry and lead him to founding Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods in 1998. With Mike as Chairman & CEO, Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods became massively successful and was sold in 2019 for $419 million dollars. Throughout this conversation, Mike describes the lessons that dropping out of school at 13 years old taught him, his current focus on mentorship, the qualities of a great founder, and more. Mike’s entrepreneurial story is unlike any other and his wealth of knowledge is valuable for all!
