Michael Schwartz has always been a writer, but his profession in US Intelligence had him using those talents differently  than he does today. With his first album, Impossible Blue, Mike has found his groove as a singer songwriter. In this week’s episode Nicole asks Mike about his long and winding road to music, where he’s found his inspiration, and how he ultimately made the choice to transition from his career. Mike talks about family inspiration, professional motivation, the business of music, and how he coaches clients looking to make big moves in their life as well. Stay tuned to the end of the episode where Mike shares his first single off of his second album with us!
