Before PPLSI, Mike Humes worked as a letter carrier for the post office. Within nine months of working his business, while still working 65-70 hours per week at the post office, he was able to retire when he was just 26 years old.

One year later he earned the prestigious PPLSI Ring. In April 2007, Mike was recognized for earning the $500,000 PPLSI Ring. Mike has also served as the Regional Vice President for six states in the Northeast Region and as the Regional General Manager for the Mid-Atlantic Region.

At 31, Mike became the youngest inductee in PPLSI’s Millionaire Club. This business has given him the ability to spend precious time with his daughters, Mikayla and Maia. “As a single father, the time I can spend with them is a dream come true.”

In 2020, Mike earned both the $600,000 and $700,000 PPLSI Rings. Along with best friend and mentor, Darnell Self, the two have started their second nonprofit organization, Fertile Ground. Whether it’s feeding the homeless, providing food and gifts during the holidays, annual trips to support orphanages in Haiti or helping new team members launch their businesses, Mike says, “Giving is what I enjoy most about success in PPLSI. This business has taught me that the only way to fail is to quit. But it is impossible to stop a man or woman who will not quit!TM”
