In 2020, he decided to take that growth into spirit, and created “Life Talks with Michael Bacchioni,” a podcast on YouTube and Spotify. He used that platform to have in-depth conversations learning about our human experience and how we can grow.He now works with men through his group “Born Again Men” on becoming their strongest versions through internal rebirth, a process of eliminating the lies we tell ourselves by facing them directly. He believes the kingdom of heaven, peace, and love, is within us which simply means living based on internal instead of external validation.About Deana:Deana Brown Mitchell is a driven, optimistic, and compassionate leader in all areas of her life.As a bestselling author, speaker and award-winning entrepreneur, Deana vulnerably shares her experiences for the benefit of others.
