One of the best ways to learn

about something is to listen to

what others say about it.

“Mike takes a very powerful ‘values-first’ approach to performance coaching that I’ve found extremely beneficial. He is great at ‘leading the horse to water’ through thoughtful questioning to get to the root of the solution or problem and the ‘why’ of things we are working through. Mike himself is also just a great guy & role model to be around…zero ‘holier than thou’ complex that is commonly found amongst other coaches. Would highly recommend!”

— Mitchell B

“Working with Mike was an extremely impactful, positive experience. Mike shared tools and concepts with me that I was never aware of and these tools really got me pointed in the best direction of my career, relationship, and life in general. I had someone on my side working my life.

I was able to get in better shape, even though I wasn't necessary looking for a fitness program, but I was more motivated to put myself first. Mike helped me look appreciate the simple things in life like cooking a great meal with great ingredients and making connections with people along the way.

I went from nothing on the calendar I was looking forward to a few months prior to meeting Mike to weekly bouldering, climbing the top of a mountain in WV, a guys ski trip booked, and my eyes opened to more opportunities in the future.

I wrapped up the year with my highest level of income but more importantly looking into what will really make me come alive in my career moving forward. I would definitely recommend working with Mike if you want to push yourself to the next level.”

— Ryan F

“Meeting with Mike was one of the best investments I’ve made in my personal growth as a young man. I could tell from our first meeting that he is the real deal, someone who truly wanted to see me flourish and thrive by using his toolkit of compassion, tough love, and a plethora of research backed knowledge, tested experiences, and actionable applications. He did a great job of meeting me where I was and exposing blind spots that I did not see. He knew just how much to nudge me towards actualized incremental progress. His goal was not to sell me a program, but to equip me to become a more balanced, strong, and generous individual in my mindset, my relationships, my vocation, my fitness, and my calling. Don’t expect a quick fix. But if you’re willing to do the work, expect to learn how to develop deeper roots for sustainable growth. If you are on the fence I would encourage you to reach out to Mike for a consultation.”

— Chris T

“I came to Mike during a time when my life was in a constant state of self inflicted chaos. I felt like I was constantly running from one thing to the next, never feeling like I had control over my day to day activities. Mike was able to 1. Have me clearly identify what I was looking to achieve in life and (What is success?) 2. Give me tools to ensure that every day I was making progress towards those goals. Through these activities I was able to gain control over my life, and realize that there is no sense in being busy to just be busy. I am now much more intentional and effective with my time, and all facets of my life have improved because of it. I can't thank Mike enough for what he did for me.”

— Justin B

“I can’t recommend work with Mike enough. I take anyone who I choose to work with very seriously. I want to make sure they are exceptional at their craft but also that they are a Genuine hearted human. Mike nails this. He’s compassionate and has qualities of a therapist while being an outstanding coach, he will check in , hold you accountable and make sure you achieve your goals! I am grateful I took the leap and went through with his coaching program. Highly recommend!”

— Drew

“I hired Mike as a personal coach after realizing I couldn’t do it all on my own and that Mike was the right person to help. It wasn’t an easy decision for me to commit to the investment in time and money. I can tell you now it was absolutely worth it and then some. Mike has helped me level up throughout multiple compartments of my life. He’s given me the tools to be healthier, wealthier, happier, and have better relationships with those I love, including myself. In addition to powerful tools and a vast knowledge base, Mike brought true compassion to our coaching sessions and beyond. I truly can’t recommend his services highly enough.”

— Ret

"I've always been a very blessed and healthy man and never really thought I needed help, but I am beyond glad I was connected with Mike. I personally lacked a lot of satisfaction with life and especially with my career.

Mike has significantly changed my perspective on every situation I am presented with. This has made a profound difference in my happiness, motivation, and relationships. He helped me discover parts of me that I didn't even know were missing!

I feel reassured that everything I have learned from Mike I can continue to come back to over and over through the rest of my life and also be able to pass this knowledge on to everyone who is close to me. That type of power I feel is priceless."

— Logan R

“Mike is a top notch performance coach. He takes a very consultative, inquiry based approach to help YOU identify your areas of opportunities. Mike takes it personally upon himself to add massive amounts of value to all of his clients and help them out of ruts, physically, mentally and spiritually. Mike is a true professional and a great human being, to boot. I unreservedly recommend Mike’s services to anyone looking to fulfill their potential and get more out of life.”

— Tommy C

“I very quickly developed a deep love and respect for Mike and the work he does. It's been inspiring, motivating, validating, empowering, everything I want in a performance coach. It's one of the best investments I've ever made in myself. His ability to simplify and offer clear actionable steps is so incredibly refreshing. I'm often finding myself digging out the tools and referencing notes from our conversations. He's just a straight up amazing radient human that I'm honored to have connected with.”

— Jordan D

“Mike's unique style of coaching combined just the right balance of listening, questioning and challenging me in aspects of my life that I want to improve. He was able to break down personal growth concepts that I've heard of before, but didn't fully understand, into really simple language, examples and challenges that often struck a chord and enabled me to push beyond my own comfort zone.”

— David S

“I was scared and nervous about reaching out to Mike. Asking for help wasn't something I have done growing up. Knowing Mike as a friend gave me greater confidence in trusting him but I felt more comfortable being vulnerable with him. 8 weeks ago I questioned how this would help me but at that time I couldn't see the light.

8 weeks later my family and friends say that I am a completely different person mentally. The way I speak and the word choices I use are very strong and they say, "I know what I want." I am able to apply tools Mike has taught me into different situations I deal with in life. I am still learning a lot about myself but these past 8 weeks have given me the confidence and control of my life I never had.

Doors of opportunity are opening up right in front of me. I am ok with having hard conversations and taking responsibility when I am wrong. I am not afraid of acknowledging how I feel or saying what I feel to others. He showed me how to take extreme ownership of my life and its given me my power back.

I am extremely grateful for Mike and what he has taught me. I can go on for days about how he helped me transform my life and mind. I am forever grateful for him and who he is as a person.”

— Mat F

“Working with Mike has been transformational for me. From following Mike on instagram, I had known for some time that he is a special person. When I reached out for our intro call, I was in a way different place in my life. Mike was able to help me figure out the WHY for all of the aspects of my life that I wanted to change, and from there enact guiding principles that I can look to and act upon.

Each week, Mike helped me focus on a different goal. I found it extremely beneficial to approach different parts of my life in this way, as I was able to shift all of my energy towards enacting true change. Every call was something that I looked forward to, and each week I was able to be more open and vulnerable as well as trusting with Mike. When you allow yourself to be so transparent with someone, and see the grand scale of positive influence in your life, it not only gives you hope for the future but it is so powerful in the present moment.

I am so grateful for everything that Mike has helped me with, as the changes will not only be lasting, but my mindset has shifted and I now approach life differently than I did prior to working with Mike. I can't speak highly enough of a human being than to say that Mike is knowledgeable, wise, and able to really read each situation with clarity and help figure out what needs to happen even when the lines were blurry for myself. I am excited to carry forward after working with Mike, knowing how to utilize the new tools in my toolbox, as well as motivated to make him proud !”

— Ben S

“My biggest takeaway from working with Mike was building a capacity for becoming more comfortable with the things I find uncomfortable, which have been directly limiting my ability to positively advance the relationships in my life, with myself, others and my career.

Additionally working with him helped me build and develop a toolkit for having more gratitude and for handling obstacles as they come up in a more healthy, successful way.”

— Jared S

“Man, I don't even know where to begin. You told me what we were going to do would not be easy but it would be worth it. Damn right it was. Mike really asks you questions that get you thinking, maybe it would be things that you don't really want to think about because "you're not good enough", "you're not capable enough", or "you're not...". Truth is, every single one of us is capable of a lot more than we think of, Mike taught me that.

I was scared to juggle a lot of things in my life all at once because I thought I would burn out and not be able to give my all. I remember this phone call with Mike. He asked me "Why can't you do all these things?", I told him that I didn't know. Then he made me think for a solid minute or two and asked "well, do you want to?". The word 'want' plays a crucial role in my life now. Why? Because Mike showed me that I get to live the life I want. I have a choice with everything, we all do. He took something that society has made so complex and really made it simple. Obviously, it won't be simple right from the start, but you start to realize as you go.
I reached out to Mike wanting to be a more confident athlete, I am so happy that didn't happen. I am not just a confident athlete, I am a confident person. Mike has given me 'tools' to add to my tool box so that whenever I deal with another 'hurdle' I know how to take a step back, recalibrate and get after it.”

— Fred

Mike is an amazing human! I wholeheartedly recommend coaching with him if you truly desire to 'level up' your life and secure a better future for yourself and those around you. His approach has a way of reaching deep within and challenging key aspects that can only be discovered once you've gone through the process. Mike's words will jumpstart a journey for the best version of you; however, you'll also need be open to making changes and be disciplined with the work required to get there.

The person you will be tomorrow needs the person you are today to say YES to coaching!

• Kevin

I found coaching with Mike to be highly valuable. What struck me most was that the wisdom he brings to each session allows him to meet you wherever you are and to guide and support you in your journey to analyze your life and make concrete changes for the better. His sincere belief in you is inspiring and liberating, giving you the confidence to take action and pursue your dreams. Couldn’t recommend coaching more. Thank you, Mike!

• S.A.

Mike’s ability to blend a heart centered approach with concise questions is astounding. It’s as if he’s got night vision goggles and a steady supportive hand to delve into the emotional realm. In just two months of work together, some deep seeded beliefs and behaviors were unpacked, transformed and healed. Now I’m enjoying moving forward with more empowerment than I thought possible!

• Lisa F

“I decided to work with Mike for performance coaching after meeting him and working with him for my photoshoot. He is very soft spoken, kind and caring so naturally it was easy for me to decide I wanted to work with him as my coach.

Right away he was giving me exercises to implement and holding me accountable for said exercises. He gently challenged me and pushed me out of my comfort zone.

You can tell he truly cares about his clients and helping people change their lives. Mike is incredibly smart and I’m very grateful for the time working with him and would recommend him to anyone looking to better themselves mentally or physically! 

Thanks again Mike! Appreciate you “

• Anna O

“Mike gave me the most important thing any life coach can give anyone: permission. Permission to to have fun, to do self-care, and most importantly, permission to live the life that I WANT, not the life that I “should.”

His approach isn’t one size fits all. He didn’t give me some “10 top ideas for self care.” He uncovered and brought to light the things that were MY top things for self-care. He helped me remember what I truly love doing, and let go of what others might think. He has helped me feel free! 

Mike helped me become self-aware without being self-conscious. I never felt like I needed to filter. He helped me see things in myself that I had never seen before. He helped me learn to love myself: that self-love and self-care is not selfish, but is necessary for me to selflessly love others, free of resentment. How to communicate with others, and not make assumptions about their feelings. He gave me a key to happiness that I lost long ago—FUN! 

If you’re wondering if it’s the right time to go for it, the answer is YES! When I had a feeling to contact Mike, it was technically the worst time for me to do it. Some difficult circumstances that came up had me thinking I just needed to survive right now—not try and grow! But it felt right, and I am SO glad I acted on the feeling. I just MADE it work and signed up. It was one of the best decisions of my life!

Mike has given me the tools to handle anything. Now when challenges hit me I feel like Wonder Woman, blocking bullets with my bracelets!”

• Sarah H

“I have had the privilege of working with Mike as my one-on-one performance coach, and I can confidently say that he has made a significant impact on my life. Mike's expertise, dedication, and genuine care for his clients set him apart as an exceptional coach.

From our very first session, Mike took the time to understand my goals, challenges, and aspirations. He listened attentively and provided valuable insights tailored to my specific needs. His ability to ask thought-provoking questions helped me gain clarity and uncover hidden potential within myself.

Mike's coaching style is both inspiring and motivating. He knows how to push you outside your comfort zone while providing unwavering support along the way. His positive energy and enthusiasm are contagious, making each session an enjoyable and empowering experience.

What truly impressed me about Mike was his deep understanding of the intricacies of personal and professional growth. He helped me identify and overcome self-limiting beliefs that were holding me back, and his strategies for setting achievable goals were instrumental in my progress. With his guidance, I gained a newfound confidence in my abilities and a clearer vision of what I want to achieve.

In addition to his coaching expertise, Mike has a wealth of knowledge and resources that he readily shares. He introduced me to various tools, exercises, and recommended reading materials that have enhanced my personal development journey.

If you're looking for a performance coach who is passionate, supportive, and dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, I wholeheartedly recommend Mike. His guidance has been transformative for me, and I am grateful for the positive impact he has had on my life.”

• Jason H

One of the most significant experiences in my life. The amount of insight I gained into how to improve my life, both intrapersonal and in my relationships, was amazing. I could not be more stoked about the growth I experienced in a mere few weeks, and everything I am taking with me for the rest of my life! Mike is the real deal and so, so impactful. Being able to share and open up my life with other guys going through the same experiences was so insanely valuable and eye-opening.

• Trace

Mike's energy and enthusiasm were infectious. He made himself extremely available. He was also a better listener than my therapist! Mike was really out to challenge me and have me expand my life, to stop waiting around and say the things on my mind or ask for the things I want. The materials and assignments he provided are things I will revisit later on my journey of personal growth. 

• Thomas

As we move through day to day life, often it’s subconsciously and without direction. Mike encouraged me to question the why of my movements and decisions. It challenged my routines and I found the time to not only drive questions about me and who I am, but also to think critically about the rational and long term effects of smaller daily habits. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in exploring their inner selves.

• Misha

This experience completely changed my outlook on how I approach different situations in my life, and I expect will have a lasting impact on my personal life, as well as relationships with others. Going into this one of the things I struggled the most with was consistency in terms of working out, and stress related to my work life balance.

Some of the tools that Mike taught me has helped me to reframe my thoughts on these previous struggles. Rather than telling myself that I should work out I have learned to reframe it as saying I will or want to work out. Instead of continuing the habit of doing tough workouts for a week or two then completely stopping I am now trying to make better habits, and even if I only do a 10 minute workout it is better than nothing.

Regarding stress and my work life balance, some of the breathing exercises I learned help me to relax in moments of stress. I also no longer look at work and life on the same level, rather than referring to a work life balance I think of it as just a life balance, and try to spend more time focusing on the things that bring me joy. I am continuing to learn a lot about myself but this group helped to provide me with the tools to to express gratitude more frequently and handle obstacles that I come across in a healthy manner.

• Michael

I was going through a lot of change in my life and felt lonely and lost. Signing up for coaching with Mike was a perfect antidote. Through the group meetings and daily exercises I learned several techniques to help me take a deep dive into the emotions I am experiencing, feel gratitude for where I am, and take action to get to where i want to go. I went from feeling lost to finding myself.

• Jake

I reached out to Mike in a period of major transition in my life. Ending of a long term relationship, accepted a new job and in the middle of a move to a new city. I was seeking help in many areas of my life but most of all needing help looking internally at who I really wanted to be and become. What locked me in was Mikes response during my first call with him, I explained to him what I was going through and his response was "It sounds like you have a lot going on but I am so excited for you!" Not the response I was expecting but he went on to tell me how that although this chapter is ending I have a chance to let go, become who I want to be, focus on the relationships that are important to me, reengage with friends and family that I had neglected and grow! The group of 10 men I was connected with was incredible! Everyone was very open about their struggles and why there were there. We went through 8 weeks of workshops and lessons on our own and came together every week to review and go over what we discovered, had trouble with or what works for us. It was nice to know other people were struggling with similar circumstances but also that they were looking to grow and change for the better of themselves, their partners or their families. Mike was a great leader, coach and his continued optimism throughout is something you don't find in many people. Big thank you to Mike and the 9 other men who shared and continue to share their journeys! 

• Kyle

I feel really fulfilled when I look back at the last few weeks. Coming into this experience I was prepared to find tools that could answer the question I was fixated on but didn't expect the wealth of small gifts that I feel I have received. I am leaving this class with new language that helps me find the space I need to grow - removing the burden of expectation through identifying shoulds, clearing space around self-criticism through acknowledgement, speaking directly to my values through sharing. The biggest surprise in all of this is that I have been worried about purpose without having cleared the clutter in front of me to be able to work on that with clarity. I'm taking the important lesson of having a Clear vessel to work in forward. I'm finding that I don't understand as much as I thought I did when it comes to what I need to be myself. Most importantly I'm realizing how important it has been for me to hear and speak in front of peers; men who are also on the journey of discovery. Through our conversations I have found myself asking questions that I feel could only have come through the dynamic we are sharing as men. It's driven me to ask more questions about my relationships with my father and his past, my sister and our lives as siblings and with my partner as we work to understand our future life. Overall, I'm leaving this not only feeling like Mike met my expectations but it set me up to lead the life I want and encounter the blind spots that have tripped me up in the past with power and knowledge.

• James

Really enjoyed group coaching with Mike. He does an awesome job providing exercises and assignments that prompt reflection and self inquiry, and he creates an environment of trust and vulnerability for the guys. You won’t be off the hook giving easy answers with Mike - he will hold you accountable to challenge your own views and help you see and consider new and different perspectives. It’s not an easy six weeks (you dive into some hard-hitting topics), but it is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend to anyone seeking personal growth.

• Bryan

Mike's unique style of coaching combined just the right balance of listening, questioning and challenging me in aspects of my life that I want to improve. He was able to break down personal growth concepts that I've heard of before, but didn't understand, into really simple language, examples and challenges that often struck a chord.

• David

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with Mike and "the group". I was hesitant in signing up primarily because I've never done something like this...however, I'm a huge believer in self growth and working towards happiness in all aspects in my life (personal relationships, health, and business). Mike's coaching helped with all 3 areas.

If you think you are the only man with issues, think again. It was refreshing to hear the 9 other guys talk about their problems and helped me open up about my own...and in return everyone helping with solutions. I can ultimately say this was well worth the time and money and I highly recommend Mike as a coach to help you through some of life's curveballs.

• Steve

It is hard putting into words the power behind this course. The simplicity of it makes it accessible to anyone and the knowledge gained to be applied and live a happier life is priceless. PRICELESS. The work to be done is hard but it is the kind of challenging introspective work I’ve been wanting to figure out for myself and it will continue to push me to stay sharp and work to become a better man. Thanks to Mike and the opportunity to chat with other men about the subject, I can see that the lion behind the curtain is really a cat that needs MAJOR tender loving care. (Insert mindblown emoji) I am beyond grateful I was able to participate and take away SO MANY powerful tools that will help me improve and become a person of significance.

• Pablo

I thought this was a great group that helped me accelerate my personal growth. I took a couple of very valuable personal connections away and added some more tools to my self awareness tool belt. Mike is a great dude who clearly has the best interests of those around him in mind. Mike’s one on one calls are phenomenal, as well. He’s got a true gift for understanding the little shifts that we can all make to get out of ruts.

• Tommy

Mike’s personal group coaching has really impacted my life and given me tools to help achieve the goals that I want to and feel more in charge of my life! As men, it can be so hard to let yourself acknowledge your own feelings, but Mike has shown our group how to do this and still crush your goals.

• Ronald

Mike provided a lot of clarity all the time, sometimes with simple steps to break down some overthinking and analysis-paralysis patterns I tend to have. He also helped me become more self accountable with my own actions which is a simple but highly valuable concept. He was always well prepared for the sessions and kept us engaged at all times. He has a special talent to be able to connect, judgement free, to me and all the men in the group. He is just an overall super cool and solid guy!

• Elliot

For me and those in the group, we have become lost in the pursuit of success within our careers. We are now coming to terms with the cost that has been incurred in our lives, how un-balanced we are in day-to-day life. Mike asks the right questions for you to dig deeper and find out the root cause of this unbalanced living and calibrate your compass to you get you pointed in the right direction. By all means, don't expect this to be easy.

• Ryan

My experience with the Mike and the men's group was an amazing experience! Mike was able to help broaden my perspective on how best to address my daily struggles in order to reach a more fulfilling and meaningful relationship with myself. The tools and knowledge he provided me are invaluable and will be something I can always reference for years to come. Mike is a very caring, understanding, and patient person who really wants the best for everyone he coaches. I would highly recommend his coaching group and services to anyone interested in wanting to learn ways to improve themselves!

• Oscar

I really enjoyed working with Mike's group coaching program. I feel I grew a lot during the time thanks to Mike's instruction and commitment to helping his clients. He asked great questions and created a welcoming environment for everyone to share and learn together. Would highly recommend for anyone that feels stuck or is looking to bring their life to the next level.

• Aidan

I really enjoyed taking Mike's Men's Performance Coaching Program. It was filled with actionable knowledgeable. Some tidbits that the program included were steps to defining and accomplishing goals, build positive self-image, and facilitated thinking about purpose and meaning. It provided a wonderful framework for self exploration the combination of hearing other guys on their journeys was very helpful and insightful. I really enjoyed the course and look forward to continuing to apply some of the practices I learned throughout my life. I would recommend this course to other folks in a heartbeat.

• Adam

Dear Mike,

From the moment I reached out to you for training you had my back. Every time we talk or I share something uncomfortable, you always, every time, show up for me. I have seen and talked to mental health practitioners and none of them, none, could come even close to the sense of safety and trust I have with you.

You patiently opened up doors for me and allowed me, on my own terms to walk through them. I never felt pushed, obligated, or cornered into making decisions. You supported me being me, me thinking for me. To me the tool of eliminating ‘shoulds’ was the golden tool that tipped the scales and allowed me to really think for myself. Free of the shoulds and with the trust you earned from me I was able to open up to you and we were able to dig in.

You helped me realize that my relationships were not in the state I wanted them to be in. In order to get to a place where I had what I want, the skill I needed to work on was communication. The lessons learned in communication from you are one of the most precious gifts I could have ever received in this life. I utilize them every day. I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for the improvements in my communication with others.

Empowered with solid, honest communication:

I revitalized my relationship with my parents, it’s honestly never been better and more fulfilling to have them back in my life.

I ended the relationship I had with my partner at the time in the most mature and honest way. It was very difficult, but there is no negative energy and we are still friends.

I ended some friendships that were draining me, doubled down on some of my other friendships and they are blossoming. I went on a 19 day road trip which would have scared the heck out of me but through communication with the group I was able to get what I wanted out of it, they were able to get what they wanted and it was incredible.

I am open to new people coming into my life and excited for it. With no shoulds, and the courage and confidence to communicate what I want it’s never been more exciting to interact with people.

Next up was the big, ‘I should stay at my job’ thought that had been plaguing me for years. This was tricky for me to express but you showed up and helped me figure it out nonetheless. Now I am on a four month sabbatical, I have time and space to continue investing in myself with a nice safety net. The opportunities in front of me are just that, exciting opportunities. No longer are they sad or hard things that may not work, they are exciting life adventures and I get to decide what happens. These mindset shifts to being excited and pumped about what I have the ability to do are another invaluable tool you passed along to me.

I feel like I could write forever about all the positive things I came away with from the coaching I received from you but two more things stick out above the others right now, gratitude and self love. You helped me develop a gratitude practice that has changed my perspective on life forever. I continue to actively work on it but the quote you passed to me, “if you can find gratitude in a shoe box, all you need to be happy is a shoe box.” As you would say, finding gratitude in the small things, that’s ninja stuff.

To cap it off my self love. Everything about our time, all of it contributed towards me loving myself more. We even dug deep into me working on my lover energy and that helped further my self love. I cried during the six hour meditation you sent me on because I realized I had stopped believing in myself for the past few years. Then I cried more because I knew I had started believing in myself again with your help.

I am a bit overwhelmed trying to convey everything you have done for me in words. I hope this serves as a starting point for you and others to understand how powerful your support can be.

You absolutely changed my life Mike.

I will always have the tools you gave me to continue the journey and live the adventure of my dreams.

Much love brotha.

• Dillon
