Mike Zeller is a man of many paradoxes.  It’s true that his businesses have done over $300 million in sales, and that he himself has founded or partnered in over 20 ventures with a heavy emphasis on social entrepreneurism. It’s also true that he studied under masters of the industry such as Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Jay Abraham, and many others. And yes—he’s even mentored over 100 high-level entrepreneurs from four different continents.  As one client of his explains it, “Mike is the most famous entrepreneur you’ve never heard of.”  But while all of his accomplishments are impressive, they’re not the things that Mike most wants you to know about him.
