I sat down with Mike about a month ago and recorded this interview. I wanted to focus more on Mike’s history and how he went from car salesman working 70 hours a week to an Internet marketer in charge of a 7 million dollar business. Mike has some great stories from his years working at car dealerships and we learn a lot about how he managed to transition from working as an employee to being in charge of an Internet business.
Mike also spends some time in the interview talking about one of his core skills - building buzz using viral marketing - and you will learn about what it takes to create a viral marketing event online.
I hope you enjoy the interview and as always, if you haven’t already done so, please check out my podcast archives for more interviews like this, all free.

Thanks a lot for posting these valuable podcasts.
I’ve never heard of Mr. Filsaime but if you endorse him he must be good.
Thanks again.
Wow, check out that speed.
Hey Yaro,

I love reading your blogs and listening to your podcasts.
Have a great day.

[…] was listening to Yaro Starak’s interview with Mike Filsaime, which was pretty entertaining and […]
Awesome. Just discovered your interview podcasts. Like a goldmine…
That’s a great overview of Mike’s life and a good example of how someone got into the IM market. These kind of stories always inspire me.
Mike F is a man where you can learn a lot from and is also willing to admit his mistakes. That’s something almost no marketer dares.

Great story by your guest! Great insight on the viral section, especially the part about having users spread the word as part of the use of the product.
One criticism though, Yaro your sound level was way below Mike’s so I had to keep juggling my volume control to balance the audio.
I love Mike, he is such a simple genious. Butteryly Manuscript did it for me and made me realize his genius!
