Tell us a bit about yourself.

Hey! My name is Mihail (also known as Mike) and I’m the person behind the DroneSupremacy - a brand which was created by my passion of flying drones, which turned out to be so much more than just a side hobby - it morphed into a full-time job and a business that I can’t imagine myself without. I’m 34 years old and I live in Varna, Bulgaria with my beautiful wife & daughter.

What’s your favorite item on your desk?

It has to be my laptop - M1 Max 16” Macbook Pro. It just allows me to do everything I want  in terms of creating content online and it does not limit my creativity in any way. It’s still a complete powerhouse and goes through hard and heavy projects like nothing. Also - i can bring it with me anywhere I go so i never feel I HAVE to be in the office to work. I can do it from anywhere, which is awesome.

What does your typical day look like?

Usually I get up at around 6;00 - 6;30 and immediately go and start playing with my daughter, as she’s 2 and that’s all she wants to do now :) I drink my coffee right around that time and try to do some physical activity to get my body ready for the day. At around 8am I go to my office which luckily is at a walking distance from my house so I get to commute on my feet and don’t have to stay in traffic jams at all.

Then, it’s really up to what project I’m working on - some days I spent completely in the office - editing, planning, doing some behind the scenes work, other days I spend outside flying/filming and getting content for my channel. I go boxing a couple of times a week, so that’s usually what I do in the late afternoons, then it’s time to get back home and have some family time, cook or go out for a nice walk together, then it’s usually time to go to bed at around 11 pm. Not very interesting but I love my routine and I’m happy with it :) 

What niche interest are you up to recently?

Together with drones, which is an all-time interest of mine that luckily is still going and I’m not bored with it, I’m also a big fan of cars and everything car-related. So I spend a lot of time watching car content on YouTube, but I've also started to implement a lot more car content in my own work as well. That’s certainly an interest of mine that keeps growing and you’ll see more of if you follow my journey.

Any tips for other makers who want to improve their workspaces?

Yes - keep it simple. A cluttered and messy desk is my worst nightmare. It stresses me out and annoys me so much, so i always tidy up as much as I can and that helps me focus and feel better about the work i’m currently doing. Also, it helps my OCD as well :)
