Michael's Tips

Be a "Finder"

 

Grinders keep the wheels turning. Minders keep things running smoothly. Both are necessary — but neither creates extraordinary success.

Finders? They’re the rainmakers. The risk-takers. The ones who step out of the ordinary to bring in clients, close deals, and create wealth.

In a world where ordinary thwarts success, being a Finder is how you build the extraordinary.

Don’t settle for ordinary. Be the Finder.

— Inspired by Out-of-the-Ordinary: Ordinary Thwarts Success. Out-of-the-Ordinary Changes the World.

Give an Out-of-the-Ordinary Presentation?

 

Ordinary presenters read slides. They share information. And they get forgotten.

Out-of-the-ordinary presenters? They own the room. They tell stories, command attention, and transfer energy that moves people to act.

In business, ordinary presentations make slides. Out-of-the-ordinary presentations make deals.

Don’t settle for ordinary. Present with impact.

— Inspired by Out-of-the-Ordinary: Ordinary Thwarts Success. Out-of-the-Ordinary Changes the World.

Presentation Training

Master Class in Sales and Leadership

Master Class in Sales and Leadership

Presenting to a single individual, a group, or a large audience is daunting. They say "the only thing worse than death and taxes is public speaking" doesn't need to apply to you or your group. The number one problem with presenting is confidence. The fear of the unknown is scary and prevents people from excelling as speakers. The key to connecting with people is communication and the best communicators are the best presenters. My “Own the Room” presentation techniques revolve around improv, knowledge, and organization. Learn how the "IOK UOK" training can turn anybody into a world class communicator and speaker.

 I'm excited to invite you to join my transformative program based on my book, "Out-of-the-Ordinary." In this course, we won't just talk about thinking outside the box; we'll dive deep into challenging the default settings of your mind. This isn't another theoretical session on creative thinking. Instead, you'll learn actionable strategies to push beyond conventional boundaries and explore new, potentially superior ways of thinking and acting.

You'll discover how the most successful people break free from linear thinking, test the status quo, and when necessary, redefine it. Sometimes the default is the best path, but often, it's not. I'll show you how to critically evaluate these defaults, question them effectively, and map out a plan to establish new, more effective standards.

This program is designed to equip you with the skills to identify and challenge the default, navigate the uncertainty, and innovate fearlessly. Join me, and let's embark on a journey to unleash your full potential by mastering the art of rethinking and transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

I help firms grow by bringing an Out-of-the-Ordinary approach to sales, leadership, and management. Over my career, I’ve scaled AUM from $250M to $12B, coached more than 100 teams, and delivered 250+ high-impact presentations. Those results come from proven frameworks that clarify sales roles, sharpen messaging, and accelerate growth—combined with leadership coaching that turns managers into confident leaders and management systems that simplify execution and align teams.

Unlike one-size-fits-all programs, my strategy is built from real experience: leading national sales teams, founding a successful distribution company, and transforming the lessons from my book Out-of-the-Ordinary into actionable systems. Whether you’re an asset manager, advisor, or founder, I’ll help you sell smarter, lead stronger, and manage with precision—so your business achieves measurable, sustainable growth.

Out-of-the-Ordinary Sales, Leadership & Management Strategy

 

I didn’t start out as a natural presenter. As a kid with dyslexia, words often worked against me. But that challenge forced me to think differently — to see patterns, simplify complex ideas, and turn stories into connection. Those same out-of-the-ordinary habits became the foundation for a career where I scaled distribution from $100,00 to tens of billions of dollars,, coached 100+ teams, and delivered 250+ talks that moved audiences to action.

In my book Out-of-the-Ordinary, I share a belief: ordinary thwarts success — out-of-the-ordinary changes the world. That belief is the backbone of my Master Class Presenter training. It’s not about memorizing scripts or building pretty slides — it’s about helping people structure any talk with clarity, bring confidence to their delivery, and connect so strongly with their audience that the close becomes inevitable.

Now, I train sales people, founders, and leaders to do the same. With frameworks like the “Tell them what you are you going to "Tell them - Tell them what you told them "Model and the 3×3 Story Block, you’ll learn how to turn nervous energy into presence, transform data into stories, and make every presentation a chance to win business and inspire people.
