Hi, I’m Mikey, and welcome to the Realistic CEO website.
February 2024, during a senior year high school class project, my business teacher told me it was ‘unrealistic’ for me to be a CEO. It’s been my dream to be a CEO since I was 10, so I told her it is realistic!
My dad and I also co-wrote an inspirational children’s book based on my story to help people create a plan and never give up on their dreams, no matter what anyone says.
Now I have interview conversations on my podcast and in my magazine with successful Founders, CEOs, Presidents, Business Owners, Executives and Community Leaders to learn from them what it takes to be a successful CEO.

I am a ceo. realistic ceo.
A captivating and inspiring story about believing in yourself and turning dreams into reality. The story follows young Tony, a boy from Dreamfield, as he sets out to prove that no dream is too big, especially when you have self-belief, a realistic plan, and the drive to take action.
After hearing his teacher say his dream was unrealistic, Tony maps out a plan to turn his vision into reality. From starting a lemonade stand to reading books and learning from successful leaders, Tony shows that perseverance, creativity, kindness, and an incredible work ethic can take you far.
This powerful story reminds every reader, young or old, that success starts with belief, followed by action. This isn’t just a children’s book, it’s a movement.
A reminder that success isn’t about where you start, it’s about what you believe, how you plan, and how hard you’re willing to work. This book is a must-read for all dreamers and doers.
Order I Am a CEO. Realistic CEO. today and give yourself (or a young dreamer you love) the belief, blueprint, and boldness to make any dream realistic.
