Baseball and Bitcoin – Micah Johnson on his transition to crypto artist

Micah Johnson was a baseball star, playing for multiple teams in MLB and enjoying an incredible career. While competing, he discovered that he had a talent greater than sports - painting. Micah dropped the bat and picked up paint and charcoal and began to pursue his passion, quickly finding success outside of baseball. Micah finally felt free, as he could voice his frustrations and aspirations to the world and be his own boss. Now his craft is inspiring disadvantaged youths everywhere, proving anyone can do anything. Micah Johnson and Scott Melker further discuss having one dream your entire life, learning how to play as the last man on the roster, batting for the first time in the pros, discovering a talent you never knew you had, painting black children as astronauts, balancing a newborn with a new career, painting the blockchain, battling depression during the season, learning how to compete as an artist, the stages of discovering Bitcoin, and more. --- CHOICE IRA by KINGDOM TRUST Don’t be part of the 7.1M Bitcoiners who have bitcoin and a retirement account but don’t have bitcoin in their retirement account.
