While Michael has spent 15 years working in Learning & Development, he's also dabbled in pro wrestling podcasting, local journalism, social media writing, and nonprofit video production. The result? A lot of late nights, burning the candles at both ends... but also, a healthy appreciation for what really makes engaging content - including corporate training - stick. (Spoiler: it's endless pop-culture references and caffeine).He's passionate about a great brainstorming session, understands the creative process of the work is often as important as the result, believes authenticity and integrity are the key to building great teams... and knows no matter what you're doing to make a living, it's the people you do it with and for that make work matter.
