Michael Franzese was born into one of New York's most violent and feared Colombo crime families. It was like a rite of passage to become part of the criminal underworld, or as they used to call it “the family business.” Michael was VERY good at what he did for the family. Michael was the first to walk away without protective custody and survive. He turned his skillset from his family business into good. Michael now uses his experience to help corporate executives, professional & student athletes, at-risk youths, and church audiences. Michael is a real example now for the world to look at and get better from.

The first thought that comes to mind when people hear the word “finance” is usually money, how to take care of your money or even how to make more money, but our guest today, Michael Policar, has a different outlook when it comes to this.

Michael Schwarz is the Founder of Treeline Cheese, a pioneer plant-based cheese brand. He left his career as an intellectual property lawyer after learning about the cruelties of animal agriculture and felt compelled to create cruelty-free alternatives to dairy cheese.  Michael began experimenting by fermenting cashews in his home kitchen. When he was confident enough with his recipe, he started knocking on the doors of small independent retailers in New York City's Hudson Valley, asking them to carry plant-based cheeses. Nine years later, Treeline retains its activist ethos on which it was founded and has grown to sell their products in 3,000 retailers across the country, including Amazon, Target, Whole Foods, Kroger, Wegmans, Ralphs, and many more.  Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:  What prompted Michael Schwarz to start Treeline Cheese and why he chose to use cashew nuts for his product line Michael explains how he started and scaled his business  The strategies Michael used to educate retail buyers and customers about his products How Michael's business has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and his thoughts on future demand for Treeline's products The evolution of in-person meetings with buyers Michael talks about building his team for Treeline, how he positions his company against competitors, and how he develops new flavors for his products  The importance of innovation in the food industry Steve Cleere and Michael share their thoughts on genetically modified foods, the future of food production in the world, and the growth of the plant-based foods market Michael's advice to fellow entrepreneurs on building a food business Where to learn more and buy Treeline In this episode… Creating a new product in a new category within the food industry can be risky. As an entrepreneur, you don't know for certain how your target market will respond to your creation, for better or for worse. And according to Michael Schwarz, a good idea and good intentions are not enough to build a successful business. To make sure that your brand is innovative in the market and desired by customers, you need to invest in research and development. This will help you assess the market and determine whether there is demand for your idea before you dive in headfirst. Michael says you'll also need to educate potential retail buyers and customers about the benefits of your products to increase your sales and grow your brand. Ready to get started? In this episode of the NexxtLevel Brands Podcast, Steve Cleere is joined by Michael Schwarz, the Founder of Treeline Cheese, to talk about the need for entrepreneurs to research their innovative products. They also talk about the growth of the plant-based foods market, the best way to educate buyers and customers about new products, and how Michael develops new flavors for his cheese line.

Hear how to understand your customers' needs, then fulfill them  It is always so enlightening to learn from other consultants how they do their jobs and how I could enhance my own consulting practice—as well as help you do the same. I was interviewed by Michael Zipursky on his podcast and thought it important to reciprocate and bring his ideas to you, our listeners. Michael speaks about his own journey, and it is a journey. At times he was in foreign lands and unable to speak the language, but somehow figured out how to break through the communication barriers to engage with others and help them grow their businesses. You will enjoy his personal and his professional stories, as they are closely interwoven. Listen and share! Watch and listen to our conversation here Some of the things we talked about: Michael's company, Consulting Success, is the worldwide leader in coaching and training for entrepreneurial consultants. How Michael and his cousin Sam Zipursky, also known as the “Zipursky Cousins,” are entrepreneurs, consultants, authors and strategic coaches. Together, over the past 20 years they have helped thousands of clients around the globe increase their impact, earn a higher income, enjoy more freedom and flexibility, and live a lifestyle they love and are proud of. Why "becoming" is more important than arriving or “being.” How helping others is a purposeful mission that inspires you to do good while doing well for yourself. Michael's life as a consultant, as I know so well, can teach us all a great deal about: The loneliness, and at times despair, of working hard every single day on building a new business with little financial results to show for the time and effort you're putting in. Feeling like an outsider, and not always knowing what to do next, as you “knock on doors” to grow your business. Imposter syndrome and second-guessing the value of your own expertise. Dealing with rejection while trying to keep a smile on your face. Neglecting family, friends and even personal health at times for the sake of the business. And yet, loving every minute of what you are doing. It is not about the destination. It is about the journey. How Michael grew his own business and then applied this to his clients: He and Sam hired mentors and consultants to help them with their consulting business, and what they discovered help them reinvent themselves. Things started to click and now they apply the best practices, systems, strategies and principles of success which they learned from those coaches and mentors. This fueled their success and has led to massive growth in business. Listen in and learn from Michael and me about how to really understand your customers' needs. It is not what you are selling them. It is what they need from you. Then check out Michael's website, Consulting Success, and take a look at many of his consultant teammates. You can connect with Michael on LinkedIn, Twitter or his website.

“We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are.” – Oprah Winfrey We are constantly evolving, both figuratively and literally. As our cells turn over in our body, we essentially become renewed. Simultaneously, our experiences, thoughts, and perceptions shape who we become and help us evolve over time. The process is inevitable, but your participation in your growth is up to you.  If you ever wanted to learn more about transformation, unlocking your potential, and becoming an active participant in your evolution, there is no better teacher than Dr. Michael Beckwith. Dr. Beckwith is one of the greatest thought leaders in the space of personal development, meditation, and manifestation. He is a highly regarded speaker, meditation teacher, author, and seminar leader. He is also the founder and Spiritual Director at Agape International Spiritual Center.  On this episode of The Model Health Show, Dr. Michael Beckwith is back to share enlightening insights on raising your frequency, eliminating limiting beliefs, and practicing life changing gratitude. He's also sharing wisdom on finding opportunities and beauty during dark times, and why our society is going through a great awakening. There is a ton of valuable, transformative information packed into this episode, and I hope you are open to receiving it. Enjoy!  In this episode you'll discover: Why the human body is like a lightbulb. What it means to treat your body like a temple.  Why it's critical to have a clear purpose for your existence. An important distinction between energy that informs and energy that transforms. What it means to participate in your transformation. The importance of being cognizant of your words. How to raise your frequency with your thoughts. Why fear and negativity can stifle your growth. How gratitude can change your life.  The two biggest imposters and how to overcome them. What it means to watch your own thoughts. The four windows of manifestation. Why we need to change our perspective and ask empowering questions.  How Michael's meditation practice has evolved over time. The difference between being special and being specialized.  Why opportunity doesn't just knock once.  What malicious hypnotism is. Why we're in a great awakening and how to take advantage of opportunity. Items mentioned in this episode include: PaleoValley.com/model -- Use code MODEL for 15% off!

"It can't just be because it's cool," says UgoVirtual CEO Co-Founder Michael Cohen.  "It's got to be effective." He's talking about what works--and what doesn't--for hybrid events. Focusing on the human experience, Michael explains, is key to engagement.  That applies to real-world use of XR for conferences, seminars, job training and much more, And if you're creating a conference, festival, workshop or other onsite event, there are ways virtual, augmented or mixed reality can help keep participants engaged.. AR can allow for hands-on training.   Holographic historic figures can engage students' interest.   A scan of a phone can give attendees digital conference "swag". And Michael, who is also the President of the Toronto chapter of the VR/AR Association, says new 3D creation tools are currently available.   Educators, he adds, can expect to see even more of these coming online within the next two to three years. Meanwhile, UgoVirtual specializes in creating hybrid events.   Their website highlights the ways augmented, virtual and extended-reality technologies can enhance onsite conferences, meetings and presentations. Michael shared the story of UgoVirtual, explored the ways educators can put XR technology to use and highlighted some new resources for crafting applications. On this edition of Over Coffee®, we cover: How Michael himself first experienced the evolution of immersive technologies; Michael's first AR  "wow moment", during his career in advertising; The story of UgoVirtual; How a hybrid experience can work in an educational setting; Several of the resources for creating immersive applications for education and events (including a new, just-announced one from Apple!) Applications of augmented reality for both an academic setting and on-the-job training; One of UgoVirtual's technologies, which adds holographic imaging to a physical setting; What Michael considers the most important lesson he's learned, about XR and its uses.

Michael S. Sorensen is a business executive by day and a bestselling author, speaker, and relationship coach by night. He has helped hundreds of thousands of people across the world heal broken relationships, revitalize their confidence, and become masters of connection in business, love, and life. Unique among others in his field, Michael is not a therapist, social worker, or medical professional. Instead, he gained his knowledge by going to therapy himself—1-2 times per week, for over five years—and voraciously consuming every relationship and self-help book he could get his hands on. On this podcast, Michael talks about one of the most valuable (yet little-known) communication skills - validation. The subject of his book, I Hear You, validation is the key to calming fears and uncertainties, increasing feelings of love and appreciation in relationships, and giving advice and feedback that sticks. Michael shares his 4-step method for validating others (and oneself), talks about how to identify emotions, and shares why validation is such a simple yet powerful interpersonal tool.

And so I also think it's important as a leader to show your team like, you know, when times are rough, I'll go in the trenches and be right there by your side, whatever it is. Cause that's what it has to be done." - Michael Uvalle   "We wanted to position ourselves as the anti-lawyer basically. We're lawyers, we're providing legal services, but we're not just like lawyers that nobody can get along with or wants to get along with at the beginning. So positioning ourselves in a more powerful place and more approachable place, we thought that was critical for what we wanted to do. "- Michael Uvalle   "The brand awareness thing is critical because we can advertise one day, but there's only so many people that will have a need on that given day for us. So we've got to make sure that we're top of mind every day. So when that need does arise, we're the first phone call that they're making." - Michael Uvalle   "There's a graphic online, I think it says that everyone thinks the road to success is a straight line up. In reality, it's a squiggly line that goes backwards, forwards, and all over the place. And eventually, you're making progress." - Michael Uvalle     Engage with Michael Uvalle LAW BOSS Website     Visit Access EFM: Website Facebook LinkedIn Twitter   Click here to listen with Access Points Podcast

Today we're talking about how not to give up on your dream.Even if we discover our dream job or purpose at a young age, on the path to pursuing it, we often have to grapple with our own self-doubt, tough decisions, and at times, challenging and unexpected obstacles.Today we’re talking to Michael Cornell, a 5th-grade teacher in New York City. After struggling with anxiety and depression during graduate school, and then facing the realities of education in NYC, his journey in education became more and more challenging. But when he discovered Buddhism along the way, chanting helped him expand his own vision for education and develop the spirit to do his best at every task in front of him. Key takeaway: Our environment doesn’t need to dictate whether we feel we are on the right path or not. Rather, by tapping into our Buddhability through chanting, we can create the conditions to advance toward our dreams, no matter what’s happening around us.CHEAT SHEET 1:24 How Michael discovered his passion for education 4:21 Why he was drawn to Buddhism 10:58  What his vision for education was 14:23 How chanting impacted his daily life 32:41 What a value-creation based vision for education looks like 39:01 How to create the conditions for trust and success 46:20 The award Michael is currently up for

Michael McKnight is an educator at heart. Although he no longer teaches in the New Jersey classroom where he got his start and now has a handful of accolades and additional titles to his name, Michael is still as passionate now as he was four decades ago about connecting with students in ways that empower them to learn, not just stuff their heads with more information.  On this episode of The Sidewalk Talk podcast, Traci sits down with Michael to chat about all things education, technology in the classroom, and the research that gets Michael the most excited about the future of education. Michael specializes in working with kids who have endured adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), but although these kids have gone through more than many adults at a young age, Michael holds on to his characteristic optimism and hope that kids’ pain-based behavior can be transformed by teachers like him who put kids and connection first. During the episode, Michael even shares his advice for parents walking through a global pandemic and the subsequent disruption of the education system with their kids. Parent, teacher, student, or someone in between—don’t skip this episode with Michael McKnight!    Episode Milestones [00:07] Intro  [02:52] Meet Michael  [07:31] The hope in transforming a kid’s pain-based behavior  [09:22] Michael’s mentors and the research that gets him excited   [13:40] Quality connection versus the obedience model in schools today  [16:07] Michael’s advice to parents: rupture and repair   [21:02] How Michael stays optimistic about educating kids  [25:47] ACE’s: adverse childhood experiences  [27:12] Technology and connection in kids and the classroom  [35:50] Michael’s word for you [40:00] Outro    Resources Mentioned Life Space Crisis Intervention Unwritten: The Story of a Living System Stockton University “Resilience: The biology of stress and the science of hope”   Standout Quotes from the Episode “Most of our most troubled kids are really kids that carry enormous amounts of pain, and that behavior that we see, we call it pain-based behavior—behaviors by kids in pain.” —Michael McKnight  “For the most part, young people learn not so much about whatever it is they’re studying—they learn from teachers they like.” —Michael McKnight  “Parenting is absolutely a task that is impossible to do perfectly. And I think we have to give ourselves a little bit of room there.” —Michael McKnight  “We focus on credential-izing, we focus on content, and then we wonder why teachers are in the classroom and that’s all they do.” —Michael McKnight  “I don’t see technology as being a specific kid problem. I think it’s an adult problem because it’s so easy to get caught up in it. It becomes an extension of self almost.” —Michael McKnight  “This isn’t about fixing you—it’s really just about getting to know you and seeing who you are, and that dynamic affects me as much as you, maybe me more than you.” —Michael McKnight  “At our core, we’re really feeling creatures who think. Human beings are feeling creatures who think. And we have to be able to go into emotions because they drive learning, they drive attention, they drive everything we do. And yet in many areas we’ve kind of disconnected that and kept this illusion that teaching and learning is purely an intellectual pursuit. It is not.” —Michael McKnight “Without that connection, many of our kids are there in body but not in mind. And our schools need to be able to shift from their current model of thinking to something much more alive and something much more whole and natural.” —Michael McKnight      Connect: Find | Sidewalk Talk Podcast At sidewalk-talk.org On Instagram: @sidewalktalkorg On Twitter: @sidewalktalkorg   Find | Traci Ruble At Traciruble.com On Instagram: @TraciRubleMFT On Twitter: @TraciRubleMFT On Facebook: @TraciRubleMFT   Find | Michael McKnight  On LinkedIn: @MichaelMcKnight On Twitter: @mmcknight32 On Facebook: @MichaelMcKnight    SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST On Apple Podcasts On Google Podcasts On Spotify  

In today’s episode of the As Told by Nomads Podcast, join me and my guest, Michael Sharkey, as we talk about the power and importance of storytelling. Michael Sharkey is a podcaster, radio veteran, and coach with vast experience in the audio industry. Now, with the rise of podcast listenership, Michael helps entrepreneurs find their voices by confidently giving them the ability to create unique podcasts. Today, he shares his wealth of knowledge to develop the audience we want using the right tools we need. Also, if you are looking to start a podcast of your own, feel free to check out Michael’s gift in the links below!Sharing Your Uniqueness in Service of OthersPodcasting is not about finding a good microphone and talking into it for hours on end. It is about finding your voice and telling your story. But it is not easy to find your voice when you are just starting. Hence, if you plan on starting a podcast yourself, the best place to start is to know what you want to talk about—and I mean, not just anything under the sun. It should be something you genuinely care about because it will help you find your voice and share a uniqueness you may have never known you had. Michael Sharkey said it best with a quote from Larry Winget, “Find your uniqueness and exploit it in service of others.” To Michael, this quote encompasses the truth of podcasts. In podcasting, everyone has an opportunity to find their uniqueness. But the best part is, when they share that uniqueness, others who identify with it will be inspired to do the same. In the end, everybody deserves a chance to share their story, and who knows, your story might just inspire someone else to share theirs.Outline of the episode:[03:25] How Michael got started and why he pursued the audio industry.[05:40] The power of storytelling and the importance of critical thinking.[08:29] Why he took a sabbatical after leaving radio and how it changed his life.[11:25] How traveling is essential in self-discovery, learning, and development.[12:30] Finding your voice amid vulnerability and exploiting in service of others.[15:02] A step-by-step discussion on how to start your podcast and the value of knowing your uniqueness.[19:35] How 100% of podcasts evolve and why it is okay to diverge from the initial plan.[22:19] The secret to every great interviewer and why you should treat interviews like any conversation.[24:33] How the only barrier to podcasting is your mindset and why everyone deserves to tell their story.[26:57] Why quality still matters when starting a podcast and how your podcast can sound just like your favorites.[30:47] How Michael Sharkey developed his Podcast Roadmap and why he enjoys sharing information with the world.[35:41] How your podcast can take any shape you want it to be.[39:26] Michael’s advice for aspiring podcasters and storytellers about being proud of your uniqueness and sharing it with the world.

By the time he was 9, his family was in poverty and often homeless all while being a member of the Mormon Church. At twelve, he was adopted by his grandmother and quickly turned to drugs and alcohol to survive the continuing abuse. Despite multiple learning disabilities and not graduating high school on time, Michael found success in Corporate America in his early twenties. However, success only made things worse. Michael found himself morbidly obese, high and drunk daily, and ultimately self-sabotaging everything around him. it was not until finding his inner power through his Mirror Moment and choosing to do whatever it took to work through childhood trauma that his life really began. Michael Anthony is the author of the best-selling book Think Unbroken and is a coach, mentor, and educator for adult survivors of child abuse. Michael spends his time helping other survivors get out of "The Vortex" to become the hero of their own story and take their like back. Michael hosts the Michael Unbroken podcast, teaches at Think Unbroken Academy, and is on a mission to create change in the world.

How do I become a great leader? I’s a common question that many of us ask. And if we think of great leaders, we may think of business, military, political, or spiritual leaders as examples. However, that doesn’t always paint a picture of the path to get there. As Michael Pollard reveals, that path may not always be as linear as we’d like to think. And it is often NOT easy. However, for those called to lead well, there are no shortcuts. Listen to discover: The role mentors played in Michael’s life How Michael’s leadership shifted after he left the military Whether leadership is different in the military The difference between authority that is given and authority that is earned What Michael lives for If you’re interested in growing in your leadership, you’ll benefit greatly from hearing Michael share his story and insights.

About this episode This week's episode my guest this week is Michael Sharon, Co-founder of Taika. Taika is a stealth health brand that is looking to take CPG products that are consumed by millions of people every day and redesign them to be delicious and truly healthy for you. The brand has tremendous opportunities within many product categories but they're starting with coffee. They take 5 adaptogenic herbs that they bring to you in the coffee and it helps deliver focus and energy to your daily life. What stood out to me was their packaging, but Michael's story is incredible! His story unpacks how he moved from South African and made his way to New York only to discover just how far behind our mobile technology was in 2002 especially as compared to the rest of the world. This prompted Michael to launch his first mobile start-up. Now you might be asking ‘how does a mobile technology expert get to a place with launching a coffee brand?', and well that is a great question and one that finds its answers through the halls of Facebook's headquarters in Silicon Valley but much like every start-up Story we need to start at the very beginning and Michael's beginning is not like any other story that we have ever unpacked before. In this episode, you'll hear: How Michael was born in Israel then moved to South Africa as a child to a cult How by the age of 10, he opted out of the cult when he found his love for video games and computers. But kept the vegetarian lifestyle until he was 38. Michael shared how growing up he didn't have a clear idea what his future would be, but he knew it would be related to computers. How Michael went to University in South Africa and originally studied Computer science, mathematics, English literature and Astronomy. But he lost interest in computer science as it wasn't challenging enough and ultimately, switched his degree to a degree in psychology and law but kept English literature. While at University he was in a Band and after he graduated he started a production studio to create jingles to fund the production of his album. How he went to work at Trigger as a brand strategist, this is where he had his first opportunity to sit down with the CEO and tell them the potential of their company. Michael shares how he was let go from Trigger and used the opportunity to begin a graduate program. In April 2002 he received a scholarship to NYU, his friends tried to persuade him not to go but he saw an opportunity in New York and wanted to take it. While at University he was writing about mobile technology. Michael shares how South Africa was a lot further ahead with mobile and bank technology compared with America, this sparked his entrepreneurial flare. In 2005 he founded a Startup called Socialight, a location-based mobile social network. Another reason why he co-founded the company was that no one would hire him as he wasn't an American citizen, so he hired himself. How Socialight was ahead of its time and didn't accompany the mobile technology at the time. Michael shares how he joined Facebook as the Mobile Product Manager in 2008. He could take all of the ideas he had for Socialite and develop them on Facebook. After 8 years he took a step back and assessed what he wanted to do. Michael shares how he found the problem to Taika when at Facebook. Due to the high levels of stress, he was dealing with 5 to 6 cups of coffee a day, which wasn't agreeing with him. So he went searching to understand how to create coffee that has the correct adaptative in it. How he launched Taika in 2019 and tested it by adding a phone number on the front of it and changing its packaging every two weeks. Michael explains the importance of creating a community through their CPG company Resources from this episode Join Grindology: https://grindology.com/ ExpressVPN: Get 3 Months Free → https://www.expressvpn.com/startupstory Get Emails: https://app.getemails.com/referrals/newaccount?ref=R18HWW5 The Startup Story Inner Circle: https://www.thestartupstory.co/vip The Startup Story on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thestartupstory The Startup Story is now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/jamesmckinney The Startup Story on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestartupstory LIVE Founder event: https://live.grindology.com/ Light Ray Solutions website https://lightraysolutions.com/thestartupstory/ Taika Website: https://taika.co 15% Discount Code: startupstory Share the podcast The Startup Story community has been so incredible sharing our podcast with others, and we thank you!

Let’s talk about eating intuitively. Maybe you’ve been tracking your food for a while and you’re curious about shifting to a more intuitive way of eating.  Maybe your lifestyle no longer supports precise weighing and tracking.  Maybe you want to get more in touch with your body and trust its signals rather than relying on external measures of success (like hitting your macros and your body weight on the scale).    This kind of shift can feel a little scary. You may have questions like: “Will I lose all the progress I made while I was tracking food?” “Can I really trust myself and my body without monitoring my intake?” “Where does the scale come into play? Should I weigh myself and use that as a marker of progress?” In our latest episode of the WAG podcast, Adee answers these questions and many more during a live coaching session with former WAG member Klaudia Rossol.  Klaudia spent several months strictly weighing and tracking her food. Since then, she has shifted to intuitive eating. She has come to Adee with concerns about whether intuitive eating is right for her and whether she’s doing it correctly.  If you are curious about intuitive eating and how to trust your body’s signals, you’ll love this episode!  We would love to hear from you!

Trusting your instincts can often provide more clarity than any outside source. Dr. Michael Verbora felt this sensation after prescribing his first patient CBD. At the time, it was frowned upon, but Dr. Verbora knew it was the right thing to do. A check-up later, the clinical results validated his hypothesis, leading him towards a new path in his medical profession. Today, Dr. Verbora works exclusively on researching and advocating for cannabis and psychedelic-based medicine. In this episode of Field Tripping, he sits down with Ronan to discuss his journey to challenging the medicinal status quo, his thoughts on the current North American medical system, the results he’s seen from psychedelic usage, and how psychedelics can change medicine by normalizing an integrative approach. Learn more about Dr. Michael Verbora here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mverbora Show Notes:2.19 - How Michael started working in psychedelics.3.44 - Michael’s initial thoughts and trials with cannabis and psychedelic research. 6.00 - Why Michael went to medical school in the first place. 7.40 - Michael expands on the culture of medicine and its incongruence with his values. 9.00 - Ronan discusses the similarities between his and Michael’s story. 10.03 - The risk of falling outside the norm in medicine. 12.48 - The challenges within the North American medical system. 13.32 -  The “patient-centered” medical system. 15.16 - Why psychedelics are more effective for treating mental health disorders. 18.24 - What happens when you take psychedelic molecules. 20.37 - Michael’s take on the materialist vs. dualist debate. 25.02 - Michael’s experiences on psychedelics. 30.21 - Michael’s inward experience with ketamine. 33.35 - What can we do to advance the conversation about psychedelics in a medical context. 35.50 - What impact Michael has seen psychedelics have on today’s mental health challenge. 40.30 - How psychedelic medicine is going to change medicine by normalizing an integrative approach.  

Highlights:  “This is a cash flow strategy. It is not a payment strategy. So you have to treat your HELOC just like it's a checking account.

It wasn't really speaking to my soul and so I decided to go back to school for my Master's in mental health counseling. And I pursued that career, I loved that career, I was a licensed professional counselor and that license right now is also an on inactive status. And so I'm not currently practicing in the field. And what happened there was I was doing a lot of trauma therapy, and eventually just became kind of burnout. And so then I transitioned into doing some coaching and really loved that as well.
