What the heck is a “Mikey’s Fest”?

[Mikey P]

If you’ve ever been to a family reunion (with family that you love) where you stay at a beach house or mountain cabin for a weekend, hang out, go for a swim and just have the best conversations and agree to do it every year it was so good, yeah, it’s kinda like that.
Even if Aunt Liz the tree hugging lesbian and her 4 year old twin boys shows up…

The ability to hang out with rock star cleaning business owners who are in a position that you yourself want to be in in five or ten years, is both PRICELESS and life changing. We have countless examples of amazing successes to back up that claim.

It’s a total nerd fest as well, attendees get the ability to use all the latest truckmounts, VLM gadgets, wands and tools on REAL soiled floors and furnishings. Usually along with the person who designed and made the tool to help guide you..

Giving back to the Ronald McDonald House and the Phoenix community not only feels great but is highly addictive. With super fun live auctions too!

Remember Chris told I cried at the end of the last one in Nashville because I was so sad it was the end and the “family reunion “ was over.

more sich a let down at the end of a feast high to have to go home. Physically and emotionally exhausting but so worth it!!

You wheelchair vans with extraction capabilities.

We actually had a wheelchair bound attendee one year!

AND to top it off he was also legally blind and an albino!

Amazing story. He’s out cleaning every day even with his disability!

Yeah but he's Australian. They outclean Americans on one leg while blind as long as they have a taxi driver. It's all because of the Vegemite.

I’ve been to three. The connections and personal friendships I’ve made at these events have helped our business to grow because I now have a pool of resources to draw from when a question comes up that Scott doesn’t know the answer to.
Jim and I were talking the other day about how you guys are kinder to me than you are to some people and I think it’s due in part to spending time together in person and getting to know each other from the other side of the keyboard. As much as I’m not a people person, there is no acceptable substitute for spending time together face to face with people who can help you grow. It just creates a different emotional investment.
I have also struggled to find joy in my work since being pushed into the family business, but through spending time at the fests and meeting Meg, Holly, Lisa Bunce, Paula, and others, I now have a personal AND professional support network to call on at need. A lot of you leave your wives at home when you go to these. You shouldn’t.

Mine won't go even if I begged her. She's met a few cleaners & instructors when we've gone to dinner with them.

However she isn't the shopping type or hang out with the girls either. She isn't into carpet cleaning or carpet cleaners.

I get "the look" whenever I've asked if she would like to go. lol

Scott has anxiety when he travels so you won’t get him without me, lucky you.

Anxiety about plane crashes?

Lots of pussies here have that..





Or anxiety about waking up on time, eating three squares, combing his hair, tucking his shirt in or falling asleep in class sort of stuff?

Being somewhere unfamiliar where he doesn’t know how to get around or where he’s going. Some people thrive on adventure, it stresses other people out. He takes the lead in every single thing we do…except travel. It’s baffling to me because I moved to NYC knowing no one and figured everything out myself with not a single ounce of fear or anxiety. It was exciting to me, experiencing something new. Not everyone is like that, though.

My life and adventures would freak most out...

Write a book, I’ll edit it. Maybe. If you promise not to use extraneous punctuation.

I always loved adventure and traveling.
I use to get bored easily.

Holly had a great time at the 2 that we've gone to. We did meet Paula at one, Mikey is blessed to have her. Holly came to the Experience with me at Vegas as well. It was an eye opening experience for her, (excuse the pun) gave her a new perspective on how large the industry is. She enjoyed meeting some of the other wives and still talks to them on facebook.

My wife went to Vegas MF in 2013....but really has zero interest in CC or CC events....
