You being laid off could turn out to be the best thing that happens to you. Once you get over this hump of emotions and confusion, a light will come on and you’ll find clarity ❤. We are all rooting for you 🙏🏽. Fun fact: My granddaughters’ name is Aiko. Her middle name is Monét. Born on Christmas ❤
Hi there... that's what I keep hearing and I know down inside, whatever happens - things always get better. Appreciate the support sm! And Aiko Monet - that sounds like a future star to me!
Hang in there Mikee. I've been laid off for almost 4 months and the situation sucks. In my second month, I stumbled upon your "Start Today" video and you convinced me to finally start this channel after many years of "talking" about it. We need to believe everything happens for a reason. Hang in there.
Hey, thank you and sorry to hear about your lay off. Wishing you the best and that you land something you'll love soon and good for you for starting your channel!
The TH-cam algorithm brought me to your channel and I immediately became a subscriber! I am sorry that you were affected by the layoffs. I was laid off last year and took a role a startup just to make ends meet. The job market is absolutely horrible but I love that you are using your time wisely and are taking care of your home and finding projects! I know from experience it helps to clear your mind and keep the negative thoughts and energy out! I love your channel and immediately became a subscriber! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and life!
@MikeeRogers You are a pretty interesting person a mugbang series will suit you for sure. But all you have to do is be consistent with your content and the viewers and subscribers will come.👍🏾😉🙏🏽 EDIT: And perhaps change the title of your channel.
Hello Mikee! Happy Thursday to you!!! I loved it when you asked your mom about the job situation and she said"I support you!" She is a beautiful woman ❤❤❤Blessings to you ❤xoxo
It is good to see you in better spirits and still making videos during this time that you are going through. Always nice to see glimpses of Donnie and your family. I just know you are going to come across something new and amazing for work. Keep being you Boo!
I know you’re really bummed about being laid off but you might have really needed this time to refocus and recenter. Try to enjoy this period and use it as a reset for things better to come 💙
Found your channel a couple months ago & have really been on a binge of all your videos. Love your content & always looking forward to the next video! Sorry to hear about your situation, but it’s great to see you in good spirits! Wherever life takes you next I’m confident you’ll thrive! 👏🏼
I’m really sorry to hear about your layoff. It’s a very crummy feeling to say the least. I’ve been there myself a few time, I understand. You’re incredibly lucky to have a supportive partner and family. I hope you channel continues to thrive while you’re in search of your next opportunity. 🤗
Mike, you seem like the sweetest person. I genuinely wish for you to find your own way and your next dream job. PS: Your film making skills are awesome.
OMG Mikee,congratulations 🎊. We literally just hit 14k subscribers a few minutes ago...I have been catching up as promised, and i watched the number change. That's so Major
Hi Mikee, I'm new to your channel. I know this is an old video, well, it will be old for me because I'm new to your channel. When you told us your viewers about what you did today, you aren't wasting your life away. I wished we embraced ease more here in the United States. Your day seemed like a really nice day to me. Mikee embrace ease. Embrace it.
I was laid off right before Christmas and is still navigating through this hard season of my life. Not going to lie, I do enjoy the free time for self discovery and self reflections.
Dang, sorry to hear and before Christmas... but that's ok, seasons are just that. Temporary and changing. Here's to us getting back on our feet sooner than later ❤️
I love your bowls, your backyard looks AMAZING!! For some reason the tiny weeds take me forever. You aren't "wasting time" doing things that aren't work, you're making up for all those times where you couldn't spend time with the fam when you were working. One question, which is a little personal, where is that mirror from that's in your kitchen? It looks huge and I want one.
Appreciate the insight (and you're so right!) 🫶🏼 - I got the mirror from Wayfair! It's HUGE and perfect for Vlogging and outfit checks lol. But also great for making the space feel bigger
Being laid off can take a blow to your ego. It happened to me and I stayed out of work for a year but I used that time to learn new skills as that lay off helped me realize how burnt out I was (I worked in the fashion industry- late nights, constant overseas trips, racism, sexism etc circa 1999) With my newly learned skills I was able to find a new career that I have been in for over a decade. Also your front entrance is gorgeous and so is your side yard
Hey Kahlynn, that's for sharing a little about your career journey. Currently trying to absorb and learn as much as I can, hopeful I can bounce back like you did 🫶🏼
I just lost my jon on January 17th. I just did some project management courses and am trying to get back in the groove! Definitely had some depressed days playing the Sims all day, I got to snap out of it.
So sorry to hear about the job loss, but hopefully this will create new and incredible opportunities for you. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us, have loved following along!
Hi Mikee! I'm so happy I came across your TH-cam channel. Firstly, I'm sorry you're going through tough life changes. I feel you, I'm going through it too. Secondly, I find your vlogs so inspiring. I relate to a lot of what your share, so thank you for authentically sharing yourself. Lastly, crazy how you started a UX/UI Design certification course with Google. I'm in the process of completing the same course. If you ever want to hold each other accountable or study together, I recently moved to SD and would love to connect. Good luck with the program and the life changes and looking forward to continue watching your TH-cam journey grow.
Hey Michael, sorry to hear you're going through some challenging times as well but wishing you all the best! If I'm honest, I don't know how I feel about the google course. I'm taking it but also thinking - "Is this where I really want to take my career?" 😭
@@MikeeRogershey mikee! thank you for your response. dang, I feel that way about the course too! I just want a high paying job after completion and I’m not sure how promising that is. Ugh, hope it’s not a waste of time. I guess I gotta remember to enjoy the process; however the outcome may be. ✌️
You'll make it through. I had a bad run for awhile....2018 my mom died, 2019 water heater blew out, 2020 got sent home to work cuz of pandemic. My electric panel on house blew. 2021 major plumbing problem $$$ with home, 2022 air conditioner had to be replaced $$$$, 2023 got laid off my job. But at least i had job through pandemic. So had some bad luck, but things always change. Hang in there. 😊
Appreciate you sharing and I can related in a way - this decade has started off rough for me all well with some traumatic losses. Hang in there as well and wish you the best!
Love this video! Day in the life vids are so my fav and I like how you show cooking and you eating in the end ❤ And you definitely belong here in TH-cam, you make nice vids! 🎉
I've been laid off for months now, started a TH-cam channel though say LETS GO! Anyway the tides will turn, now is tough for a lot of people. Keep your head in the right space and you'll make it though just fine ❤
Appreciate it! Plan... really not sure. My goal was to get my resume up to date as well as my website which I finally accomplished. Now hoping to get some interviews to see how I fair in the creative market. UX design is just something I'm adding to my skillset to help with my UI background. A big problem I have is, I was doing so much in my previous job, wearing multiple hats. So my path seems so open and honestly, confusing 😭
I also cut my own hair all the time! I've been doing it for over 2 decades now lol. And thanks for showing your backyard! I want a home tour!!!!!!! Hahahaha
Your videos are great. This could be a money maker for you. Some people quit their ft jobs to focus on creating content for their youtube channel. Looking forward to your next one!
It’s the Mikee and Aiko show 😂 good to seeing doing well!! Y’all have a beautiful home!! Hi Donny! I too watch TH-cam while I eat 😂 have a blessed weekend till next time ✌🏼🫶🏼
Hi Mike! It’s been a few weeks since you posted this, so I’m not sure if you’ll see it. Absolutely loving your content!! Just curious what camera you use? I feel like I see a picture profile and some color grading, but whatever you’re doing, the image quality looks great!
Hey, thanks! I'm using the Sony ZV-E1 and shooting in S-Cinetone and applying a LUT at low opacity and then just taking my highlights down. Haven't really dove into color grading so that's as much as I'm willing to experiment at this point but glad to see people like it as I get the question asked every so often. Also, ok I see you Top 500 Anna! Subbed! (I play on console and a sad support diamond player over here 😂)
Still playing around with it but so far I'm just using 2 shots of espresso, oat milk, the ube concentrate and then some sweetened condense milk and extra sweetener. Pretty sure I'm doing it wrong though as I haven't searched for a proper recipe haha.
👍I'm glad you're making income on TH-cam. You now will not neeed a regular 9-5 which is awesome.💥💥 I've been working at home online since 2003 and making money on TH-cam since about 2012 (on my other channels) 👍. KEEP GOING, you can make a fulltime living from YT if you work hard. It's worth it!🎥🇺🇸

Hi again! And thanks again! lol... Helping clear my mind has been clutch these last few weeks 🥹
Maybe think about going full-time on TH-cam?
Hopefully one day I'll be fortunate enough to have a channel that can pay the bills! 🥹🫶🏼

Even in its current state, your yard is gorgeousssss!
Mike, you seem like the sweetest person. I genuinely wish for you to find your own way and your next dream job. PS: Your film making skills are awesome.
Pavel, thank you so much! Sorry so late, I'm just now getting to my comments ❤️
Great vibes, giving yourself time to destress and more.
You’re doing good Mikee! Don’t give up! We all believe in you! 😊😊😊
Thanks Daylon 🥹🫶🏼
You right your trees are not thriving for that reason. You have a lot of yard work but since your not working you have time. 👍😊❤
Hi Nan, nice to hear from you! Ok good to know, thanks! Going to hopefully work on it this weekend ☺️
Glad seeing you getting on with your life so well 🫶🏼
Thanks PJ - definitely in better sprits these past few days 🫶🏼

Dang, sorry to hear and before Christmas... but that's ok, seasons are just that. Temporary and changing. Here's to us getting back on our feet sooner than later ❤️
Definitely! It’s lead me to also take the courage to start documenting life.
I love your bowls, your backyard looks AMAZING!! For some reason the tiny weeds take me forever. You aren't "wasting time" doing things that aren't work, you're making up for all those times where you couldn't spend time with the fam when you were working.

Mikee, love sushi and now I’m craving it 🤤 Also, I saw someone comment suggesting maybe you doing TH-cam full time 👏🏽 That would be awesome! ❤
Hey Miranda! I'm hoping one day I could do YT full-time... that would be my ultimate dream job!
Mikeee I was only gone for a minute and you have almost 13k subscribers. I’m so proud of yuh and your growth congratulations. ❤
Thanks! Had a window of quick growth for about a month. Was a nice ride while it lasted lol. Hope you're well!
I love your personality! I hope you keep doing content creation!
Thanks Luna! That's the plan and hope you stick around for the ride! ❤️
Your home is so beautiful!
I love that your mum buys herself a bag for Christmas! They are stunning

Hey Mikee. Would love to know what your ube latte recipe is.
Still playing around with it but so far I'm just using 2 shots of espresso, oat milk, the ube concentrate and then some sweetened condense milk and extra sweetener. Pretty sure I'm doing it wrong though as I haven't searched for a proper recipe haha.
good luck in your job search Mikee!
