Who is Mike Brockway?
Mike is a 38-year-old real estate investor originally from New York, who now lives in Denver, Colorado. According to Netflix, “Mike considers himself a ‘jack of all trades’ who loves to spread the wealth. During his time in the pods, he mentioned that he is part of a tribe. While he did not share much about his tribe, he shared, “a bunch of guys that are wealthy are part of it.”
Based on Mike’s Instagram and LinkedIn presence, it is clear that he is part of Gobundance, an organization for people with over a $1 million net worth. As Gobundance puts it, they are “the Tribe for healthy, wealthy, generous people who choose to lead epic lives.”
What is Mike Brockway’s job?
How did Mike achieve his million-dollar-plus net worth? According to his LinkedIn profile, Mike is the owner of Zen Haus Homes, which is “a luxury Airbnb brand based in Colorado, offering a curated collection of 15+ high-end short-term rental properties.” Prior to entering real estate, Mike worked in wealth management at Goldman Sachs and Fidelity.
What is the controversy surrounding Mike Brockway?
On October 2, TikTok user Story Time With Rikkii exposed numerous documents alleging that Mike and his business, Zen Haus Homes, owe service providers and small businesses thousands of dollars each in unpaid wages.
A cleaning service named Scrub Club Denver claimed, “You owe us thousands of dollars, Mike. Since you’ve ignored all my messages and my lawyer, maybe the Love Is Blind Instagram page is your preferred method of communication.” You can check out Story Time With Rikkii’s full video below for more messages from people who allegedly have worked with Mike in the past. Mike has not yet addressed the allegations.

Who did Mike Brockway date in the pods?
In the pods, Mike Brockway dated “Sparkle” Megan Walerius, a 35-year-old holistic nutrition consultant and brand owner, with whom he bonded over their shared values of wealth and health. While Megan confidently shared that the 38-year-old investor was the kind of guy she would have gone for in the past, she took a leap of faith by getting engaged to the 29-year-old single dad, Jordan Keltner, instead. We’ll have to wait until Megan and Jordan hit the real world to see if either of them will reunite with Mike in Denver.
