In this episode, we'll explore Michael's approach to surviving hard times as a business owner, how he deals with challenging situations, and how he manages to make big money despite agoraphobia. 

 

“Knowing how to run your business and do that kind of stuff. But to take what that experience I went through and how to apply that in my business. I think it taught me to be more personable and to be transparent in who I am, and recognize where my strengths are and allow other people that had better skill sets to do different things within the company.”
