Mike
Mann Recaps His 30-Year Career as
a Domain Industry Pioneer in New
Video Interview
Domain
industry pioneer Mike
Mann,
who assembled one of the world's
great domain portfolios and
founded both BuyDomains.com
and DomainMarket.com,
is still going strong after three
decades on the web. Last year Mann
(whose historic sales include Sex.com
at $13 million) launched
his own You
Tube Channel that
features in-depth video interviews
with movers and shakers
both in and outside of the domain
industry. The shows are generated
from an 11am live stream he does
every Wednesday morning. Mike had
me on as a guest in November and
at that time I suggested that he let
me turn the tables on him and
ask him the questions in a
future show. The arrived this morning.
While
Mike needs no introduction for
anyone who has been in the
business for any length time, we
have had many newcomers
arrive in the industry in recent
years and his show is attracting
viewers who aren't familiar
with what it took for Mann to
get to where he is today. So,
with 20 shows now under his belt and
a brand
Mike
Mann
new year underway,
I thought this was a good time to do it. So when we sat down again for Mike
Mann Live Stream #21, I took Mike back to square one when his
story began as a 15-year-old runaway. While Mike told his parents he
was leaving, he didn't tell them where he was going!

The
first leg of Mike's escape covered thousands of miles and he has been
running non-stop ever since, building businesses and selling domains that have
generated millions of dollars in sales with much of that money going to his
real passion - charity work. All of the amazing details are in the 35-minute interview
that you see below:
