He discusses his career evolution, including a pivotal $50 million contract win that required him to reinvent himself as a CEO, and his approach to handling business uncertainty through innovation and focusing on what he can control. Michael reflects on the daily compromises of being a business owner and father, his approach to qualifying advice, and his desire to leave a legacy of compassion and empathy rather than business achievements.I hope you enjoy.
