In college, Michael dropped his speech class and swore he would never take the stage again after a humiliating presentation. But destiny had other plans and soon he was drawn to the stage once more, this time not out of duty for a school credit, but for a desire to impact and inspire people. Michael has spent thousands of dollars and countless hours training to overcome his fears and become an impactful presenter which he heavily relies on in all aspects of his business, from sales, to marketing, to speaking from stage.
