Who is Mike Hager?

A mysterious man who goes by the nickname the “NFT Guru” is putting his unique NFT knowhow to organize the greatest advancement of free money since the blockchain came into existence. So let’s get serious: YOU are what the Future of Finance is waiting for. So what are YOU waiting for?

The beginning

It wasn’t always that way

When someone meets Mike today, they might think: Wow, take a look at what he’s achieved. A successful media personality for over 20 years, a motivational speaker, at home on stages around the world, and now a successful entrepreneur, giving advice to major clients such as the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior. His radio figure personality, “studio technician Nullinger” has achieved cult status with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.

His YouTube channel has clocked up millions of views and that’s not all. Sounds pretty perfect, right? But it wasn’t always that way. Mike’s story is full of failures, personal defeat, and frustration. Just 20 years ago, Mike was at rock bottom. Severely overweight, he weighed 130 kilos, and was just as heavily in debt. Without a decent job, with no prospects, no love, and no ambition. He was light-years away from his big dream of working in radio. It seemed totally unrealistic to most that he would be able to earn a living on the radio, especially with such a thick accent and no experience.

And not just behind the scenes, but in front of the microphone. Because that’s where Mike wanted to be. His situation seemed hopeless and Mike didn’t have a clue how to turn things around.

The change

The Turning Point

One day the pain became just too great to carry on like that anymore. Once again he was not able to buy a new pair of pants, because the store only had sweatpants in his size. And once again a woman he was interested in gave him the “I like you, but just as a good friend” speech. Something had to change.

He couldn’t stand to watch himself growing fatter and more unsuccessful and more destitute and even more devoid of hope. The pain was unbearable. And as is so often in life, it is always darkest before the dawn. Mike took heart. He saw the sun on the horizon. He resolved to finally change his life, to become active and take his fate into his own hands.

He wanted to lose weight, but wasn’t sure how to make it happen. So he just stopped eating for a while. And bought himself an exercise bike. A second-hand one. And he got on it. Every day for an hour. 363 days in the first year because on two days he was sick. And somehow, he saw that he had lost over 30 kilos. He had made it! No more weight problems, right? Wrong. Mike got the chicken pox, and now he couldn’t do sports anymore, and in no time about 20 of the 30 kilos had piled back on yo-yo style and so Mike found himself back at the drawing board. But this time he got some support. In the form of knowledge. Mike got every book he could think of on the subject of losing weight and read them and followed the advice and it worked: one and a half years later, 50 kilos were gone for good.

And Mike had gained the most valuable insight: You can achieve everything in your life if you KNOW how to do it and you WANT to do it. Knowing and wanting, that’s the secret to everything. And that’s how he approached his mountain of debt. He acquired knowledge on the subject of finance and went on another diet.

This time it was a financial diet, or to put it another way, he started saving. No more expensive food, no more parties, no more vacations: just a lot of work in addition to his studies.

New life

A Brand New Way of Life

Within a couple of years, Mike saw many positive changes. First the debts were gone, and he started accumulating money. And because he had acquired the necessary knowledge on the subject of finance, he knew how to start increasing his wealth. Very conservatively and without speculation, he made only good, solid investments.

But their was still the question of how to achieve his big dream of being on the radio? Once again, he needed a plan. When the opportunity arose, Mike joined a student radio station that was just being set up at his university.

Mike experienced endlessly long nights, sleeping under the audio mixing console at the station, where he worked for no money, but in the end it paid off.

Mike began to earn his first few German marks at a small local radio station a little over a year after joining the student radio station. Another year later, he made it to Antenne Bayern, the most widely listened to radio station in Bavaria at the time. As a student, learning the ropes, he had created his studio Technician Nullinger character and Mr. Nullinger wanted to join Antenne Bayern.

The rest is legendary in Bavaria. The name Mr. Nullinger is recognized by over 90 percent of all Bavarian radio listeners and became a comic institution in Bavarian households for over 20 years. That’s how the fat, hopeless boy with a thick local accent made it into radio, after all.
