Mike Klein graduated with a Bachelors of Science degree in finance from Arizona State University, and received his Master in International Management (MIM) at Thunderbird University. He grew up in Mesa Arizona where he was a member of the LDS church. He also went on a mission for the church and became a high achiever in all the leadership positions in the Mormon church thinking that if he did all these good things and high achievements in the church that God would take away his gayness. Mike struggled a good part of his life, trying to fit in and trying to deny that he was a gay man. He even went to repetitive/conversion therapy. The reality was he was attracted even more to men which added more shame to his life. Mike married his wife and proceeded to have seven children and continued struggling with himself, even to the point of considering committing suicide. He tells a fascinating story of how he was able to pull his life together and become his authentic self. He will also talk about his relationship with God, and what God thinks of him. This is an incredible podcast.
