The Mike Styles Experience

In this short episode, I talk about how your coworkers are not your friends. Too many times we can get caught up at work by thinking that the people we work with are our friends. The lines between your workplace relationships and your personal lives can be blurred. Remember to keep your personal business to yourself, do your job, get your money, and go home. So, check out this episode where I shar...

I'm back at it with another episode. Should parents be held accountable for the actions of their children? I recently came across an interview that a mother did with a local news station in Baltimore. Her son was shot by police after a foot chase. During the chase, he took out a gun, a stolen gun before being shot. He has since been released from the hospital and is now in custody facing charg...

If you're a business owner and you have people working for you in your establishment, stop being cheap and stop cutting corners. It may cost someone their life. A 63-year-old woman in Louisiana froze to death after being trapped inside a walk-in freezer at Arby's. That door on the freezer was broken for 10 months and upper management did nothing to fix it. This should have never happened....

Do company policies about no weapons at work keep you safe? I'm asking this question because of a situation that occurred between a Charlotte, NC bus driver and a passenger. The passenger pulled a gun on the bus driver after the driver refused to make an unauthorized stop and then the bus driver pulled a gun of his own. They got into a shootout on the bus. The bus driver was eventually fired b...

I'm back at it with another one. In this episode, I break down a video that was captured in someone's backyard where an Amazon driver chased down a package thief. The driver was able to recover the package after one of the thieves told on the other one. Things turned out well, but it made me think about how things could have gone wrong. Then I also thought about how sometimes we put our jo...

It's been said that you can't lay the bricks, plaster the walls and paint the woodwork in the same day. But what about getting drunk, fired, and arrested? Check out the latest episode, where I break down this situation where a woman got drunk at work and refused to leave after she was fired. The cops were called and she still refused to leave and eventually, she was arrested. Who stays at...

I'm back at it again. In this episode, I talk about line-cutting and some of the people who do it. For whatever reason there are some people who feel like they don't have to wait their turn. Then when they get caught cutting the line, they want to get mad and argue about it. Some people have even gotten physical about it. But it just makes no sense. So, check out this episode where I share...

Watch who you call your friends. In this episode, I'm talking about the tragic situation that happened in Austin, TX where a woman went missing after a night out with her friends. Her body was found 5 days later about 70 miles from the original location. Her friends had her personal belongings after a fight where she was jumped. She was kicked out of the bar and the fight spilled outside of th...

In this episode, I talk about company potlucks, bringing food from home so that other people can eat it, and food left in the breakroom at work. Some people are just plain nasty when it comes to food. You can't eat food from just anybody and you can't just eat food left out, especially when there are other people eating the same food. You really don't know what habits people have when...

In this episode, I talk about a statement that some parents like to say. I don't know who this applies to, but if you check out this episode, it might apply to you or somebody you know as a parent. So, check it out, I wanted to give you my thoughts about this statement that I wish people who are parents would stop saying. Thanks for listening. Oh BTW, this is just part 1, I might make this a s...

In this episode, I talk about a tragic situation that happened in Mississippi where two cousins were shot and killed after arriving at someone's home starting an argument. The entire situation was captured on Facebook Live. This is a prime example of why you shouldn't go to someone's home to start trouble. Everyone is saying that the lady who shot them went too far. But keep in mind th...

In this episode, I talk about being careful when answering your door. The criminal element never sleeps. They're always active and looking for easy targets. We don't hear a lot about staying safe when inside our homes. Your home is your castle and you will have to be prepared to defend it if invaders come to your doorstep with ill intentions. Don't get complacent just because you'r...

In this episode, I discuss an altercation between a North Carolina substitute teacher and a student over a cell phone. There seems to be a divide between people saying that the teacher was in the wrong and then some stating that the teacher was right. But I see now why so many teachers are quitting the profession. The teacher in that incident decided to leave teaching after 22 years. Again, I see...

In this episode, I talk about spitting on people. This comes from a video of a black woman being spit on by a "Karen" in a hotel lobby who decided she didn't belong there. First of all, we all know that spitting on people is wrong. It's the highest form of disrespect. But if you spit on someone, you better be prepared for a fight. So, check out this episode where I share my thoug...

In this episode, I talk about a video that I came across where a lady posted a video of former NBA player Delonte West at a 7-11 store. She records him and then proceeds to laugh from her vehicle. Before recording the video, she stated that she doesn't believe in posting or recording videos of people at their lowest. I wanted to share my thoughts about the situation. I'm not sure what her...

In this episode, I wanted to address a question that a lot of people have when it comes to someone parking in front of their homes. Can your neighbors park in front of your house? There have been many disputes over this issue, which shouldn't be an issue at all. Check out this episode where I share my thoughts about the matter. Thanks for checking me out.

What's going on? I'm back at it with another episode. I'm trying something different by adding a video to go along with the audio. But in this episode, I'm talking about talking trash and making sure that you can back it up. I'm sure by now we've all heard the story involving LSU basketball player Angel Reese. Some people were upset about it. So check out this episode where...

In this episode, I thought it would be a good reminder to talk about respecting other people's property. For whatever reason, some people don't respect personal or public property. It should be common sense to know that you should return something that you burrow. Also, take care of it and don't damage it. You are responsible for whatever happens to that property when it's in your...

In this episode, I talk about when pranks go wrong to the point where someone is injured or worse. What might seem like a harmless prank to you can send someone else over the edge. These pranks that are being played on people in the public are very dangerous. If you're someone who likes to play pranks on people in the public, especially people that you don't know, think twice before you ge...

In this short episode, I'm talking about progress and why it's important to chase it over perfection. We aren't perfect and I think this is something that we all know, yet so many of us still chase it. You can't measure perfection, but you can measure progress. Check out this episode where I share my thoughts. Thanks for listening. Website: www.mikestylesexp.com Follow on: www.facebook.com/mstyles...

In this episode, I talk about feeling left out and how we believe that we're missing out on something. In reality, you aren't missing out on anything. Check out this episode where I talk about what you should be focused on instead of that feeling that you're missing out on something when you look on social media, when you're not invited, or when you're not included. You can't compare your life to...

In this episode, I talk about minding your manners. Is it me or does there seem to be a shortage of manners in today's society? Have we all become self-absorbed and ill-mannered people? Check out this episode, where I share my thoughts and give you some ways to mind your manners. Thanks for listening.

In this episode, I talk about people with money who go broke. I had an interesting conversation with my daughter who is 12 years old and I asked her what she thought was the reason famous people go broke. She said it's because they spend all of their money on useless stuff that they don't need. So we came to the conclusion that it was because of overspending. But outside of being a celebrity, I wa...

In this episode, I'm talking about over-sharing information and the impact that it can have on your life. We can often talk too much and give people information about us that they don't need to know. Unguarded talk can be dangerous. Check out this episode where I share my thoughts about oversharing information about ourselves in person and online. Thank you for listening.

In this episode, I talk about anger and what to do when it becomes a problem. How do you deal with anger? Anger is a natural emotion, but it's important to understand how to handle and manage your anger so that you don't find yourself doing or saying things that you will later regret. Check out this new episode where I share my thoughts about managing your anger. Thanks for listening. Website: www...
