Owning Your Life's Journey

Michael shares from his experience about how taking ownership of your life helps you create the journey and life you want and deserve. Michael lost both his parents as a teenager, his Mother to cancer and his Father to suicide. He was on his own without any money or a place to live.

Michael shares his story about his journey and how he created the life he desired despite those challenges. He built multiple multi-million dollar companies, had a highly successful career running gold standards divisions for Pepsi Cola, wrote or co-authored three books including a #1 best-seller, appeared on Home Shopping Network and got featured twice in Entrepreneur Magazine. He will talk about the people how he owned his life’s journey, stories of those who helped him, and how he believes in paying it both forwards and backwards.

He will also share his 10 Personal Keys to Success and how to take ownership to create the Life you Want and Deserve. Michael in describing his keynote said "This talk is not about what I’ve overcome". Many have been through far worse. It’s about what I’ve learned from this experience in the hope of helping others. If my talk can help my audience, their teams, or their friends and family, that would be my hope.
