Mike Tyson asked the audience member to give him a call

While discussing the importance of a mentor, the audience was given the opportunity to ask Mike whatever they wanted. So, one guy made the most out of the opportunity to ask Mike, “What’s the mindset you have when you’re looking to team up with somebody in the Cannabis industry?” Unexpectedly, Mike had an offer ready for the guy.

Mike immediately interrupted him and asked, “Well, what do you have to offer?” The guy responded by suggesting he had a few cannabis retail stores and a lot of knowledge about the domain. So, ‘Kid Dynamite’ asked how many stores he had. The guy claimed, “One, working on three.” That’s when Mike introduced the dreaded condition for the partnership. “When you get a 100, give me a call,” said Mike. With Mike’s offer out of the way, his parent company recently achieved a new milestone.
