Some people have told me it’s pretty good.

For someone who grew up with a debilitating stutter and social anxiety, I consider that a win.

Being simple, kind, and right is a hard thing to maintain. Michael lives, writes, and works all three. I straight-up love this guy.

Michael is by far and away one of the best writers, life advisors, and all-around coaches I've met during my thirty-year career. In addition to helping my writing improve to the point where I've gained literary representation, I’ve seen him countless times serve as a catalyst to help people reach their greatest potential.

As a career pro in recognizing great talent, it dawned on me when getting to know Michael I'd just stumbled upon someone uniquely gifted - a writer's writer - someone who sees the stories in others and has a gift for coaxing their stories into existence. He's helped my storytelling to take shape and his insistence upon simplicity and distilling the broad and complex reminds me of my Apple days.
