Walking my path web series founders , Mike and Larry share their voice in an interview revealing how this merge began . They both met each other at a point where they needed each other ; Larry was writing a book and Mike was already an author and that meeting sprung up the Web-series-walking my path . Their drive was to show and expose that African American gay men are living and along the line , they both found out they were walking the path and it popped up . Mike and Larry , who were raised by their respective grandmothers who fought for them to have the best outcome in life no matter their start . With this foundation the both revealed that their only anxiety with the series is exposing themselves completely as this series is not scripted . On the same note they are both excited for the amount to liberation that will ensue by being openly candid for the advancement of sincere success .
A quick peep on business budgeting revealed that Mike is a free spirit spender while Larry is more of a financial advisor thereby creating a balance . Since Mike knows what is needed and Larry makes sure it is around the budget the two are not opposites but a balance . Their lifestyle is seen to be a real show of what it is with no aorta of pretense as they both aim for their success and not for fame . Their idea of no boss when working collectively greatly depicts the relevance of great communication between both parties . Both young men stated when choosing your entrepreneur partner its vital to choose someone who has similar visions of drive and creativity . Both being ambitious they flow well . They use their ideas to create instead of dispute ! It is draining to be with people that don ’ t know how to build your dream but instead pull down . There is NO BOSS when working collectively . That is where ego comes into play . There dynamic harmony was clearly seen as I conducted their interview . With such a great flow we ended up talking long over our scheduled time enjoyably .
As this is our Black Love incorporated issue we had to delve deeper . Mike with a bursting personality has elegantly explained he is open and ready for love although single . With great focus he puts a huge emphasis on timing and being whole within himself . Larry also giving a beautiful perspective of his own , shared he Larry is married , with a supportive husband having known each other 10 years before they tied the knot together . Larry shared that the key to his marriage is that him his husband set the ground for a strong foundation that gives them both the support they need with each other . Along with maintaining the importance of still dating long after the wedding bells ring .
With the arrival of 2017 Mike his current book “ Reflections of Me ” his first memoir on Amazon . Larry has just finished a book called “ The Mask ” where he touched subjects he never wanted anyone to know . ( Find More Information in our Support Black Owned Media section )
Mike and Larry enjoin other entrepreneurs to work with people who have similar visions and creativity seeing it as their own strength .
Advice : Mike : “ Walk Your Own Path ! Put in the work no matter how hard it gets . If you can ’ t do it on your own , find a friend with a similar vision . What is the point of just talking about it .
Larry : “ A lot of people look for validation in other people which stops them from their dreams . YOU MUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF otherwise who else can . Your dream can ’ t be built on if people like you or your work otherwise you have nothing . You have to be ready for a hundred no ’ s and know all it takes is that one yes . Help is great but never being dependent upon anyone making your dream come true . When
