This is a raw conversation about addiction, redemption, fatherhood, faith, and what it really means to become a man you respect.
Michael opens up about growing up with an abusive father, the pressure to be perfect, and how that pain led him into heroin addiction and multiple overdoses. We talk about rock bottom moments, the unexpected people who stepped in at the right time, and the daily disciplines that helped pull him back into the light.
We go deep into presence, phone addiction, building businesses from solitude, creating a home full of love, and the hard moments that test you as a father and husband. This is an honest look at the inner battles men face and the quiet decisions that shape who we become.
If you care about becoming a present father, a grounded man, a better leader, and someone who finishes life with integrity, this conversation is for you.
This is real talk for men who want more from life and are willing to do the inner work to get there.
