He is the host of the Finding Mastery podcast, which is a staple show for me personally. Every once in a while you meet somebody who is just different. They vibrate at a higher level, and you know it right away right when you meet them, that they have a special gift. Michael is one of those guys. After digging into Michael's work I was so excited for this conversation, and I was blown away in speaking to him. He is the real deal. He is as advertised. He's brilliant and thoughtful with an amazing gift of deducing his life's work into simple, actionable steps for anyone to understand and implement. Above it all, He's an incredible man, husband, and father, and it was an honor to host him on the show. So here is my conversation with THE Michael Gervais.
