Meet Michael Clay

We recently connected with Michael Clay and have shared our conversation below.

Michael, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

How I found my purpose was, I always had a thing for sports and played sports growing up. I always have been that person that loves the outside. I hated to be inside.
Sports was my way of getting my mind off the real world and to forget about everything I had going on.

” Try Hard, Grind Hard and Never Stop Learning ”

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

” Take The Chance and Don’t Stop Grinding ”

Ever since I was young, Photography and sports was the only thing I had. I didn’t have any money growing up and I always found a way to make things happen. I always was an outside person and hated to be home.
I found myself following in love with Photos.

I started off as a DJ (yes, a DJ) I moved out to Las Vegas to put my skills to the test. I DJ with BIG NAMES and Well known artists. I found myself not getting any photos/Videos taken of me at these shows.
So I when to Best Buy and bought a camera & a tripod.
I started to film myself DJ and going LIVE thru social media platforms. I started to find myself doing more Edits/Shoots then I did DJ.
I then stopped DJ and sold all my equipment and bought real Photography setups. I went 100% into it.
I reached out to local sports teams and did photoshoots/Video shoots with locals.

I now shoot for big names in the sport world and travel shooting Football. I also videotape and photograph for all Las Vegas High Schools, UNLV and all sport events.
I keep growing and now own my own business ” Mikey’s Vision ”

Its was not easy and still is not easy. I had big bumps in the road that tried knocking me down and I overcame them. I always stick to ” KEEP GRINDING & DON’T STOP ”

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

WOW!! This is a hard question as I learned everything on my own with no help from anyone.

The Most Important things are:
– NEVER GIVE UP (no matter what)
– Learn EVERYTHING about it, I mean Soak up everything
– Stay Humble and always be grateful for everything you have. YOU WILL MAKE IT !!

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

I would LOVE to collaborate with all SPORT events, Teams and everyone in the SPORTS world..
