In this episode, I sit down with Mike Blake of High Score Strategies, where he and his wife Cordelia help businesses grow, scale, and protect their value through expert business, patent, and data appraisals.
Mike recently weathered a massive power outage in Portugal, which sparked a bigger conversation: What happens when you’re forced to unplug?
We dive into society’s addiction to technology, the importance of emergency preparedness, and how moments of disruption can become turning points for personal and professional growth.
Mike also opens up about the bold choices that have shaped his life: trying stand-up comedy, for example, and relocating across the globe. A seasoned polyglot and former Eastern Europe expat, Mike shares what it was like to assimilate into new cultures and how he and Cordelia eventually chose Portugal as their new home — a decision they’re thrilled with.
Mike’s personal mantra is care, serve, and forgive — and you’ll hear that spirit in everything he shares.
Despite what we see on the news, Mike reminds us: there are good people everywhere, if you’re willing to look.
