Mike Jamison's Linkedin Analytics

My name is Mike, the CEO of NewAge Vending. I had a rough path to entrepreneurship. Still, I always managed to reach the coveted $100k milestone, even with a BAC constantly over the legal limit for years. I’ve generated tens of millions in sales for other companies but never really enjoyed any of it. I was miserable. Fast forward 2 years into sobriety, and I’m a new person. I think differently, see things differently, like different things. I'm a brand new person. I started with dropshipping, then learned how to build websites, which led me into learning about SEO and blogging, then ads, then social media, and then… vending machines? It was supposed to be real estate, but I was broke, so vending it was. Who knew I’d end up loving it. You see, I figured out that success doesn't require reinventing the wheel. You need to care about others. It sounds so simple, but it’s true. Solve their problems. One day while at the office, I saw someone banging a vending machine. Apparently, it took their money. So, I replaced it with a new machine. And of course, it had to have all the bells and whistles. Touchscreen, infrared sensors, you name it. The person loved it, so did their coworkers. Wow, something I did put a smile on their face. It wasn’t quite like being facedown in a bar, but I’ll take it! Since then, I’ve done nothing but educate myself on these machines and how to streamline operations in this industry with the use of technology, making it more efficient and more user-friendly. And in the long term, part of a local advertising network with the use of the screens and additional software that I’m creating. All while transforming Middle Tennessee’s vending situation, which is long overdue. Oh! And I wrote a book. You can find it in my featured section. Helping others is my new buzz. Hope to connect!
