Hey! If we haven’t met yet, nice to meet you.

I am Mike Kaeding, and I run Norhart, a $200 million Real Estate business with over 250 employees based in Minnesota, US.

Years ago, I used to be very active here on Twitter.

But unfortunately, like most people that run a company, it’s hard for us to make the time to be active on socials

1/3: Remembering that Christmas is like taking a trip down memory lane. 🎄

My parents, knowing my love for all things tech, gifted me a LEGO Mindstorms set.

It wasn't just a toy; it was a symbol of their belief in my passion for programming and computers.

2/3: Getting my hands on that LEGO set felt like stepping into a whole new world.

The gears, pulleys, and pipes were a playground for my imagination.

But what made it truly special was the love and support that came with it.

Muhammad Ali was once asked:

"What's the toughest part of training?"

He answered:

"Running, sit-ups, watching what I eat. That's the easy part. The tough stuff is missing the big moments, the nights out, the celebrations you skip."
