Mike Weiss: A Journey of Innovation, Resilience, and Transformation
In the fast-paced world of finance and technology, few stories are as compelling as that of Mike Weiss.
His remarkable transition from Wall Street to the leading edge of AI innovation exemplifies his visionary mindset, unwavering resilience, and steadfast dedication to transparency and empowerment.
From Wall Street To Entrepreneur
From 1987 to 1992, Mike Weiss carved his path on Wall Street through determined progression and innovation. Beginning as a stockbroker months before the '87 crash, he rapidly mastered portfolio management, which led to his advancement into money management.
This success paved the way for launching his own wealth management firm, where he raised over $100 million in assets under management.
As his expertise grew, Mike expanded his firm's offerings to include two sophisticated investment vehicles: a fund of funds strategy and a dedicated hedge fund, while continuing to manage individual portfolios for high-net-worth clients.
His comprehensive approach to wealth management combined traditional investment principles with innovative risk management strategies, setting his firm apart in the competitive Wall Street landscape.
This period of intense growth and learning provided Mike with deep insights into the financial industry's inner workings. It was his hands-on experience managing complex investment vehicles that would ultimately reveal the troubling lack of transparency in portfolio reporting – a discovery that would soon inspire the creation of GreenTrak.
The Genesis of GreenTrak
The year was 1992, and the biotech sector was experiencing a meteoric rise followed by an equally dramatic collapse.
While observing the tumultuous financial landscape, Mike Weiss and his business partner uncovered a shocking revelation: their affluent clients had no idea about the performance of their portfolios and the severe consequences of the biotech crash.
Shocked by this revelation, Mike embarked on a mission.
He conducted a thorough analysis of statements from ten various brokerage firms, revealing a troubling reality: these firms were consistently concealing vital information regarding performance and fees from their clients.
This discovery ignited a fire in Mike. He saw an opportunity to revolutionize the financial industry by bringing much-needed transparency to investors. In 1994, GreenTrak was born – a company dedicated to providing clear, comprehensive financial information to investors.
GreenTrak's Bittersweet Success
GreenTrak's innovative approach quickly gained traction. By 1998, the company had grown significantly and merged with a private entity, reaching a valuation of $500 million. This success, however, was tempered by the looming Y2K concerns, which put their plans for going public on hold.
In a twist of fate, GreenTrak was sold to a public company for $82 million in 2002.
What should have been a moment of triumph turned bitter when venture capital firms and Mike's former business partner maneuvered to claim the lion's share of the proceeds, leaving Mike and his family and friend investors shortchanged.
This experience, while painful, would prove to be a pivotal moment in Mike's career, teaching him valuable lessons about business, partnership, and the importance of maintaining control over one's vision.
Pioneering Digital Marketing Automation
As the new millennium dawned, bringing with it the internet revolution, Mike saw an opportunity to innovate once again.
Recognizing the potential to transform traditional direct mail prospecting into the digital realm, he embarked on a challenging journey to master no-code business and marketing automation.
For three grueling years, Mike immersed himself in this new world, facing numerous setbacks and obstacles. His persistence paid off, and by 2003, he had become an expert in digital marketing automation.
This expertise led him to pivot his career, and he began consulting for financial companies, helping them leverage these cutting-edge marketing methods.
The NeuroGym Revolution
Mike's journey took another significant turn when he reconnected with John Assaraf, who had been his business coach in 1998 and 1999.
Recognizing Mike's unique blend of financial acumen and digital marketing expertise, John invited him to the West Coast to co-found NeuroGym.
At NeuroGym, Mike took charge of all digital operations. His innovative approach to automation and digital marketing propelled the company from $200,000 to $2 million in revenue in less than 18 months.
This remarkable achievement didn't go unnoticed – in 2012, Mike was honored with Infusionsoft's "Internet Marketer of the Year" award, a testament to his groundbreaking work in the field.
New Horizons
In 2015, Mike's successful tenure at NeuroGym came to an end with a buyout, marking the close of another chapter in his entrepreneurial journey. But for Mike, this was just the beginning of a new adventure.
The EdTech Revolution
After analyzing over 7,000 of his customers who participated in their online education, Mike identified a critical issue: the abysmal completion rates of online courses, ranging from just 3-12%.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, he founded the Client Engagement Academy in 2016.
This innovative platform achieved unprecedented success, with course completion rates soaring to 40-80%, far exceeding industry standards.
Capitalizing On Microsoft’s Purchase of LinkedIn For $26 Billion
As the 2020s dawned, Mike found himself captivated by the potential of artificial intelligence. He saw in AI the same transformative power he had recognized in transparency for finance and mindset work for personal development.
With the launch of Clout Selling™ in 2020, Mike began exploring ways to harness AI's capabilities to help small businesses thrive in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
The results were immediate and impressive. Within its first year, Clout Selling™ generated over 350 million views for clients on LinkedIn, effectively turning social media engagement into tangible business results. This success fueled Mike's passion for AI-driven solutions and set the stage for his next innovations.
Business and Marketing Automation To Level The Playing Field
In 2021, Mike unveiled the MYCOMM System, a groundbreaking SaaS marketing automation platform. This AI-powered system consolidated multiple tools into a single, cost-effective platform, helping companies streamline their operations from lead generation to sales growth.
The MYCOMM System quickly became a game-changer for businesses struggling to navigate the complex world of digital marketing.
Embracing the AI Revolution As A Software Developer
Building on this momentum, Mike invested 18 months and $80,000 to develop Clout AI Writing in 2022. This sophisticated software addressed the growing demand for consistent, engaging online content by generating high-quality thought leadership pieces for businesses.
Once again, Mike had identified a critical need in the market and delivered an innovative solution.
2024 marked a significant expansion of Mike's AI portfolio.
Recognizing the need for comprehensive AI solutions, he launched AISTACKIFY, a full-stack, full-service AI digital agency.
This venture offered businesses of all sizes access to cutting-edge AI-driven solutions, democratizing the power of artificial intelligence.
Simultaneously, Mike introduced AI Sales Copy Generator Pro, a revolutionary tool that leverages over 60 proven frameworks to streamline the creation of effective sales copy.
This innovation addressed a persistent pain point for marketers and business owners, further cementing Mike's reputation as a problem-solver in the AI space.
From Rotary, To Beeper, To Push Button To Cellular Phones
As 2024 draws to a close, Mike is poised to unveil his most ambitious AI project yet: a Conversational AI system designed to revolutionize customer service and lead generation.
This advanced system promises to handle inbound calls, qualify leads, book appointments, and provide seamless customer interactions, potentially transforming how businesses engage with their clients - 24/7 and 365 days of the year.
Throughout this AI-focused chapter of his career, Mike has remained true to his core principles of transparency, innovation, and empowerment.

With each AI tool and service he creates, Mike showcases his remarkable talent for anticipating market demands and providing solutions that deliver tangible results for businesses.
