Together, they explore the transformative power of "going to your edge"—the psychological, emotional, and spiritual boundaries where growth happens. Michael shares personal stories from his acting days, the importance of stepping beyond comfort zones, and how to stop performing and start truly showing up in both life and business. Learn why acting before you're ready and embracing vulnerability can create the biggest ripple effects in your life.
