How

Hi, I’m Mike Malatesta, the creator and host of the "How'd it Happen?" podcast. On the podcast, I have meaningful conversations with some of the most successful people about how that success happened to them. My guests include Entrepreneurs, Athletes, Physicians, Non-Profit & Academic Leaders, Consultants, Financial Experts, Authors, Moon Shot Explorers, and more. I dig in deep with every guest to get to the roots of their success. To discover not just how it happened but why it matters. My mission is to expose and share the ideas and clues you need to Inspire, Activate, and Maximize the greatness in you.
