Extraordinary America

Published by Cosmos Dar

  • Education
  • Business
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Self-improvement

America has always been about freedom, opportunity, and the pursuit of happiness. However, most Americans are not free when it comes to the financial front. Most are under financial slavery due to losing their jobs, having stagnant wages due to outsourcing, inflation due to money printing, and debt of all kinds. Wealth and income inequality runs rampant across America while the middle class has all but disappeared! Where there is no freedom, there can never be opportunity nor happiness. Such a disconnect between who we are as Americans and our Financial reality cannot be allowed to continue. ​ Therefore, Extraordinary America is about the abolition of financial slavery. It is about the financial freedom of the 99%. It is about Americans awakening and unleashing the Extraordinary within themselves and setting themselves free! ​ The truth is Americans are Extraordinary. As immigrants and descendants of immigrants, they have overcome insurmountable obstacles and barriers with their pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit, and this time is no different. Americans should never give up or surrender to hopelessness and despair, no matter how bad the situation is, no matter how much the odds are stacked against them. Just as spring overcomes winter, Day overcomes Night, the light within us shall overcome the darkness around us. Its time for us to know that we are our own saviors, that there is an Extraordinary within us waiting to be unleashed, that freedom is our birthright and that we shall realize the American Dream! ​ The path to financial freedom is by educating and transforming ourselves into Entrepreneurs and Investors on the light side! In this podcast Cosmos Dar interviews Entrepreneurs and Investors who fought against the odds, and in many cases came from humble beginnings to attain financial freedom, to see how they did it. He hopes through all these stories that the Extraordinary within the audience shall awaken, that they shall take the actions necessary to abolish financial slavery from their lives and finally Realize the American dream!

Armed with strong technical skills but lacking formal business training, he built the company through trial and error, persistence, and continuous transformation. He is the author of The Reluctant Entrepreneur: Anatomy of a Business Start-Up – From Uncertainty to Unstoppable, a candid account of his journey that details the missteps, near-failures, and hard-won lessons that turned an uncertain start-up into a sustainable business. Mike regularly speaks at major universities and business organizations, sharing practical, real-world strategies with the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders. In addition to his writing and speaking, Mike hosts two podcasts: The Reluctant Entrepreneur Podcast, where he interviews business owners about their own startup and growth journeys, and The Reliability Matters Podcast, which focuses on technical excellence and best practices in the electronics industry.
