As the world watched Michael's life play out on the TV show "Real Prison Housewives", a show he co-stared on while still in prison, he would not let that 15 min of fame go to his head. Instead Michael continued to build his plan for release; but as he tried to get his life on track as a newly licensed real estate broker, he could not anticipate his first client would shoot and take his own life on the day that the house went on the market. Not detoured, he persevered, and now runs two businesses, a household, and is taking the real estate industry by storm.
