For the past 19 years Michael has been studying why exactly some people have been invited to this “Party” called success and why some people have not. It became very evident to Michael at a young age that he was NOT being invited to this “Success Party”. It was at this point that Michael began his never-ending journey to discover how he could gain this illusive “invitation”. Michael would spend over a decade uncovering what exactly makes “successful people” successful. How do they think? How do they act? How do they respond to situations? How do they influence and lead people?

Just as Michael was beginning to think he had this mystery solved, he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (Cancer). Michael would lose 68 pounds, from his 6’ 1” frame, on his way to an extremely frail 142 pounds. Due to a tumor touching his spine Michael would spend over six weeks in a hospital bed and would be left unable to walk.

In the 8 months to follow after undergoing several different treatments along with seemingly endless physiotherapy Michael would learn to walk again while completely eliminating the cancer from his body. It would be during a visit back to the hospital when one of his doctors would confess, “It was nothing but your attitude that saved you”.

After a full recovery, Michael would move into a sales position with the Fortune 300 company he worked for. Putting the same principles to use that he had used to recover from cancer, he would immediately become a top producer. After finishing #1 in his first year, he would go on to maintain a 99.6% client retention rate while still remaining a consistent top producer through out his sales career. Michael would put the finishing touches on his career by finishing #1 in his region and #2 in the country in his final year.

It was then when Michael realized he had truly been invited to this “Party” called success and was living it in every area of his life.

Three months later, Michael would leave his exceptionally successful career to found Madison Inspiration Inc. He now speaks and consults with individuals and groups all over North America on his “Life’s A Party” philosophy and how it improves lives on every level. He not only talks of his own experiences, but also teaches a 10 Step approach on how to achieve an entirely new level of success in every area of life!
