THE SECRET THAT ALL RECOVERING ADDICTS KNOW
In my active addiction, I hid my true self and held myself back by not being honest. It was exhausting. In order to get clean, I had to master a process that has saved the lives of millions of addicts all over the world. A process that taught me how to live with authenticity and freedom.
For the last 17 years, I have developed the skill of living this lifestyle and used it to excel in my career, found an Inc. 500 company, give a viral TED talk, write a book and marry my soulmate.
Now, my mission is to equip you with a proven system for Addictive Leadership so that you can be your true self without apology, shame or regret and absolutely thrive in work and life. Implement my step-by-step process to elevate performance and satisfaction for yourself and your entire leadership team.
You’re not alone. I do these things too.
But the truth is, they get in the way of great leadership.
In my Addictive Leadership program, I share 3 principles that not only saved me from addiction but also set me apart as a leader:
ONE
Practice Rigorous Authenticity
TWO
Surrender The Outcome
THREE
Do Uncomfortable Work
If I didn’t master these 3 Principles, I would relapse and die by the age of 30.
I assumed practicing these 3 Principles would hold me back in my career. But they didn’t. They accelerated it! These 3 Principles became my unlikely competitive advantage. The success I was able to achieve was not in spite of being a drug addict, but because of it.
In Addictive Leadership, I teach you and your team how to apply the same principals drug addicts use to recover. You will learn how to apply my step-by-step system to break free and thrive in both work and life. By the end, you will have the tools that make great leadership as easy as being the true you.
Worried that being your true self will hurt you at work?
I thought so too, but it turned out to be the opposite.
The success I was able to achieve was not in spite of being a drug addict, but because of it.

I was holding back my unique talents because I was scared of things I couldn’t control. Since going through Michael’s program, I have taken steps to STOP holding back my gifts and START putting them out there for the world to see. In less than a month, I stepped away from my corporate job so I can be present and home with my son. I have taken steps toward putting my unique talents into a business I have dreamed of growing for years. I know this will allow me to be the best version of me for my family. A lot can change in 28 days. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next 28!
