The Return of MikeMcCready.com: A New Era Begins

Well, here we are. 

MikeMcCready.com is back, after a five-year hiatus. That’s right—five years. It’s like I put the site in a time capsule, buried it, and then dug it up again with a rusty shovel. Honestly, I’m a little surprised the whole thing didn’t just disintegrate into dust, but here we are, better than ever.

You may notice something right off the bat: this site looks nothing like the old one. That’s because I completely trashed the previous version. It was like a car that kept breaking down, so I decided to set it on fire and buy a new one. And by new one, I mean I built a site from scratch. That’s right—zero to hero, baby.

Now, let me address the posts that appear before today. Yes, you’ll see some content from the old site lingering around. These are the posts that I felt were worth preserving—things that are still relevant or have some value, even if they come with a bit of dust. They were brought over here, mostly because I’m a nostalgic fool and can’t let go of everything (I’m looking at you, 2017 blog posts). But from this point forward, everything you see on this site will be fresh, new, and part of this new era of MikeMcCready.com.

So, why the reboot? Honestly, I felt like the old site had run its course. It wasn’t speaking to who I am now or where I’m headed. I’ve done a lot since I last posted here: from dealing with some health challenges, to a lot of travel, to exiting Music Xray and taking on new challenges like scalping gold on XAUUSD and trying not to lose my shirt while doing it. Life, business, and politics are always evolving, and it felt like time to build something that reflects all the evolution that’s taken place in my world.

This site isn’t just a platform for old achievements, though—it’s going to be a place where I can share my thoughts, reflections, and insights into the things that matter to me: from politics and society to personal growth and the constant flux that is my life. Because let’s face it, if we’re not learning and evolving, then what are we doing? (Don’t answer that—just keep reading.)

I’ll also be writing with a little more humor than before. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my career—and in life—it’s that humor makes everything more bearable. Politics, business, trading… they’re all serious, but if we can’t laugh at ourselves every once in a while, we’re probably doing it wrong.

So welcome to the new MikeMcCready.com. It’s a place for fresh ideas, occasional rants, and a bit of reflection on everything I’ve learned along the way. Whether you’re here for my thoughts on business, trading, or why authoritarianism is bad for democracy (let me count the ways), I hope you’ll find something that sparks your interest.

Thanks for coming back. It’s good to be here. I’m sticking around for a while.
