Millennial Millionaire Ep. 77 - Michael Gutschmidt
In this powerhouse episode of Modern Motion, host Steven sits down with longtime friend, Marine Corps veteran, and solar powerhouse Michael Gutschmidt to unpack what it really takes to go from humble beginnings to building a multi-million-dollar life.
Raised in rural Iowa, Michael’s journey took him from working cornfields to fighting in the Marine Corps, then diving headfirst into network marketing and eventually discovering his ultimate vehicle: the solar industry.
Over nearly a decade, Michael has built a reputation for relentless discipline, unwavering values, and leading from the front. In this episode, he shares his insights on:
How direct sales transformed his life
Why ego and comfort destroy more dreams than failure
The role of physical discipline in shaping business success
What it means to serve under great leadership vs. chasing status
The future of solar and the uncommon mindset required to win
Detaching your identity from outcomes and finding deeper fulfillment
This isn’t a fluff piece. It’s raw, real, and deeply tactical. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, team leader, or just someone on the grind — Michael delivers clarity, purpose, and a battle plan for long-term success.
