With 36 published Sports Comic Books, his goal is to distribute 1 million ebooks of his sports character by 2016. Say hello to the Creator of Mike - Mr. Jim Sweeney. As creator of the Trademarked MIKE cartoon sports character, Jim Sweeney has crafted his digital innovation to become the first universal animated brand in sports. Sweeney envisions MIKE as a witty, alter-ego personality to eventually be seen and heard on network television and Jumbotrons. In order to build brand equity before signing MIKE to an animation deal, Jim’s property has enjoyed an incredible start in digital media. With 36 published MIKE Sports Comic Books, Jim’s goal is to distribute 1 million MIKE ebooks by 2016. All of the ebooks contain clever sports comics and light hearted commentaries on MIKE’s unique observations about sports. Besides penning a near daily blog, Jim just launched his MIKE on Sports! podcast on iTunes and Stitcher Radio. In addition to creating sports content for MIKE, the 57 year-old Sweeney still participates in sports (slowly!) as a masters athlete. He is the USA representative for FIMBA - the governing body for masters basketball tournaments around the world. Sweeney has played on USA senior teams in Prague in 2009, Brazil in 2011 and Greece in 2013 and now is tasked with expanding the FIMBA brand in the United States. A three-time basketball captain at Boston College, Sweeney was recently seen in the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Playing for the Mob. Sweeney is utilizing his lifetime experiences in sports and business as a catalyst to bring the MIKE cartoon sports character to life and develop MIKE into a sports and cultural icon.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Jim on LinkedinMike on Sports Podcast   Please subscribe

Maura Sweeney, of  Maura4U: Live Happy - Inside Out, joins the Go For It Show to share her thoughtful insights that inspire others to discover their own personal happiness and authentic living. Her personal story of finding her own happiness, despite external expectations and social pressures holds motivational value for all of us. “Going for it doesn’t have to be, ‘the world said to do it this way’.  There are so many ways to find yourself doing what you want to do and pursuing what you really love…Nothing will really happen if you don’t go for it.” A few gems from the show include: Guidance on motivation.  -Find what makes you happy, find what it is that makes you want to jump out of the bed in the morning and do because it fires you up on the inside How to let your desire to be happy exceed your fear of failure.

Any number of challenges, any stage of life or age - there is always a way to open up a door to something new.  ‘I don’t know what it is yet, or how yet I’m going to do that one new thing, but I will have that moment of enlightenment’. It is doable.  We can do new things, learn new things and expand ourselves in ways we never knew we could before.” A former corporate manager and home schooling mom, Maura Sweeney's currently enjoying her third act as both entrepreneur and best selling publisher.  Maura is a regular contributor to Huffington Post and has also appeared in Better After 50, Midlife Boulevard, Match.com, Tampa Bay Times, Boston Globe, Expanded Consciousness, Britain’s BBC Radio, Project Eve, Spirited Woman and a number of radio and podcast talk shows.
