In the episode, we’re joined by Michael Arterberry, Master Encourager, and Dynamic Motivational Speaker.

As a teenager, Michael was fortunate to receive guidance from positive adult role models who helped

him overcome adversities and set high expectations for his future. Grateful for the role these mentors

played in his own development, Michael decided to dedicate his professional life to helping people

navigate the difficulties of life and launch their future into motion. For more than 25 years, he has been

helping teens and adults to use what they have gone through as a catalyst for success rather than an

obstacle for failure.

Michael received the 2010 USA Network’s Characters Unite Award for exceptional commitment to

combating prejudice and discrimination while increasing tolerance and acceptance within the

community. He is also the recipient of the 2014 100 Men of Color Award for leadership in education,

government, mentorship, entrepreneurial success and community service.

In 2008, Michael founded Youth Voices Center, Inc. a non-profit with the mission of helping young

people to become active, productive members of society by overcoming their obstacles, their history,

stereotypes and even their own self-image and limiting beliefs.
