Topics covered in this interview:

• How Michael went from weighing 195 pounds at age 18 to 350 pounds wearing size 4XL seven years later--and his subsequent weight loss journey.
• His abusive childhood, starting with his mom, who was a drug addict and alcoholic,  cutting off his index finger when he was four years old, and also getting repeatedly beaten by his stepdad.
• Growing up “massively impoverished” leading him to become “an entrepreneur” at age 8; stealing candy bars that he later sold to others for money.
• He started getting high daily at age 12, drinking every day by age 13 and got thrown out of school when he was 14 for selling drugs.  To this day he does not have a high school diploma.
• The impact of rapper Jay-Z’s Blueprint album; starting him on a new positive path.
• For two years, he was turned down every job he applied for, until he got a break working in insurance, making $96K a year at age 21.
• Growing up bi-racial (Black and White), knowing what “White trash” and “Black ghetto” environments felt like, and the common theme of both: A poverty mindset, that he was determined to change for himself.
• Mistakes he made, including having $50K in debt when he was making a million dollars at age 26.
