The Hunger Games is streaming on Netflix until the end of this month. I’m running through the series thinking about the power of symbolism and ideas. It’s long so I gotta multi-task and get this message to you all. 🏁
I have the pleasure of joining one of my favorite organizations, Junior Achievement of Central Indiana, for a couple of engagements this month. One of their flagship events, JA JobSpark, brings career inspiring moments to our youth each year. ECN did a feature on the event that you can checkout to learn about this annual idea sparking event.

Sparking The Change (10 min.) - https://elitecoalition.com/articles/jobspark-22

You can support Junior Achievement in their mission to expose our youth to powerfully foundational ideas by supporting their Best and Brightest fundraiser. They’ve nominated me twice now so spreading this opportunity is the least I can do.

The ELITE Fellowship has been going crazy this Spring and I couldn’t be more proud. We’re up to 14 Fellows this cohort with only about half getting college credit for participation. The rest are graduates who have volunteered to continue participating for personal growth and development. Their work is regularly published on elitecoalition.com and I would be remiss not to thank them here. 🙏 You all are all stars! 🌟 
Putting on the last chapter of Mockingjay and I’m glad we can unite through much more civil uprisings today. Like inspiring the next generation to be producers and not solely consumers. Imagine producing a two hour film… four times. Sheeeesh 😆
Okay. I’m done. Have a good weekend Familia 👁️‍🗨️⚔️🏁

Powerful Ideas

All I ever ask is that you keep it 100 with yourself. We all have more choices than we know what to do with UNLESS we keep the right perspective. Good morning! Stay locked in... We got one more quarter to make this year great.
Website Update
I finished the site update I was working on. If you're interested, you can check out the new digital home for ECN here ~> https://www.elitecoalition.com/about
If you're into the Monday Motivation vibe, here's something for your mental. A quick read about focusing on what's important during times of change. Another throwback from 2016 to checkout at your leisure 🙂 |

Old things must become new... 🏁

I'm updating the ECN site and came across this article from 2015. I remember this was a period when I was about to move to SF and we were taking our construction company full-time. We were doubling down and going all in.
Going all in on learning the things we're interested in can unlock a path to mastery. That's what this quick read is about. Tap in to boss up!

What it doooo?! This is Mike.
I've been operating a fellowship program with media students at Ball State for the past couple of years. During the program, we develop personal trajectory plans for each fellows professional growth. This summer's cohort has been great and many are progressing to positions with the firm or a second semester with us this fall. 
We aren't accepting any more school credit receiving applicants for the fall; however, I am opening several seats for brand builders who want to sharpen their skill set. I believe that the best education happens AFTER leaving the traditional school system and so I don't want to limit this growth opportunity to individuals who are in school.
If you aren't in school and would like to develop your ability to produce media, plan your productivity, and network professionally, you can now apply for our Fall '22 ELITE® Fellowship. Applications close on August 31st.

What’s happening everyone! I wanted to share a quick reminder that success is a direction and not a destination! If you are working on something that you love, you are successful. That’s what building a brand is all about. Clarity of purpose. Set the goal, embrace the journey and never quit on yourself! -mikh
