In 2020 Mike Butorac was a senior on the verge of graduating. Like all students from around the world, Mike had his plans for graduation cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Undeterred, Mike applied and became one of many Instagrads as a part of the worldwide outreach program Instagrad2020.

Two years later I caught up with Mike to discuss how his life has changed and how Instagrad2020 influenced his outlook and life plans. I can’t say I was surprised; Mike was an Instagrad2020 Star and is doing well as an author, artist, student and community leader, and as an entrepreneur. Tune in to hear this awesome story of how he maintained and triumphed over challenging circumstances and his encounter with Danny Trejo. “Let’s Talk About It!”
