Gamification has been used in countless businesses to improve implementation of their offering, increase accountability, and even to build brand loyalty. But can playing a game actually reveal valuable information about who you are as a business owner? Can gamifying your life help you achieve goals that have been outside of your reach for far too long?

Michael, a seasoned coach with over 30 years of experience, introduces a unique framework that helps entrepreneurs turn their coaching businesses into impactful, revenue-generating ventures that align with their passion.

Michael shares his adventure experience, where participants are taken to three different gamified worlds, presenting them with challenges that mirror everyday obstacles, all with the goal of positively impacting the lives of one million sentient beings.

Throughout this insightful conversation, listeners will gain valuable insights into defining their own championship team, addressing toxic players, and assessing their personal and business environments.
