What an honor to see Mikey’s name in Forbes, and to have Frank highlight the in-home studio where The Life Shift gets made. It is my office for work and my studio for the show, one corner of a Florida house that has changed a lot over the years.

This has been a wild, sometimes expensive, overwhelmingly beautiful journey. Thank you, Frank, for making room for independent creators.

“I know that the neon sign is a little extra. But I love it. And the shelf behind me has things that actually mean something to me, like a drawing I made of my late dog, Mikey.”Matt Gilhooly, in Forbes
