Mike Roderick has always been interested in solving problems and looking at things differently. His elementary school teachers said he had an overactive imagination, creating entire worlds out of a box of crayons.

Once he got to high school, Mike took a more entrepreneurial approach as he was often initiating and pulling things together. For instance, he noticed that the English department had far less funding that the sports department had, so he came up with the idea to have a battle of the bands’ fundraiser for his school’s English department, and filled the entire auditorium. Mike jokes that it's the night he beat George Lucas. The actual date for the Battle of the Bands had been set for when Return of the Jedi was being released. So they changed the date and then the movie theaters changed the date again. The school went ahead with the battle of the bands. Mike packed the auditorium, raising a lot of money for the English department.

Today, Mike Roderick is the CEO of Small Pond Enterprises. Small pond enterprises is a consulting company and educational resource for solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, and intrepreneurs who want to accelerate the success of their business. Mike's unique methodology comes from his own experience of going from being a high school English teacher to a Broadway producer in under two years.
