56: Michael G. Dash: Entrepreneur and Best-Selling Author of ‘Chasing the High’ Talks Openly About His Gambling and Drug Addictions, and How F.A.T.E. Changed His Life


Listen Later

Michael Dash is a recovering addict and the best-selling author of Chasing The High, the Founder of FATE - (From Addict To Entrepreneur), a mentor, speaker and philanthropist.  

He struggled with multiple addictions throughout the course of his life, with the main one being gambling, which he was introduced to at 11 years old.  Struck with an unrelenting drive to succeed in life, Michael’s addictions grew to also include work, cocaine, marijuana and adderall just to name a few.  He worked harder and longer than anyone he knew and built a $5.5 million dollar a year company. 

After growing resentful of the very business he built, he made some intense life changes and realized that true fulfillment is helping others in relatable situations to change their lives as well.  

This led Michael to write Chasing The High and build F.A.T.E., a program designed for entrepreneurs and business leaders to take back control of their compulsive and addictive behaviors and step back into the leader they were born to be.

Michael is insightful, hilarious and energetic, and he shares some incredible information in this tell-all interview.
