Michael’s parents got divorced when he just 13, and his mother moved to Wisconsin while Mike was back in NY. Mike’s confidence took a major beating because of this, and he had a particularly rough me in high school.

Fortunately for him, he was reunited with his mother just before college. At this juncture, Mike got his first taste of entrepreneurship as he went door-to-door preaching the bible. Additionally, once he got recognition, he was also invited to speak at congregations.

This experienced did him a world of good, and Mike was in overdrive by the time he entered college. So, when the opportunity to start a restaurant delivery business with his brother came along, Mike was quick to snap it up.

Being single and having no other commitments helped as Mike and his partners went all out to make their business a success. In 2015, after scaling to $40 million in revenues, Mike sold off his business at an extremely attractive valuation.

Recently, Mike has come back from retirement as the owner and CEO of Management Actions Program, Inc. (MAP), a consultancy firm.
