THE SECRET THAT ALL RECOVERING ADDICTS KNOW
In my active addiction, I hid my true self behind so many masks. It was exhausting. In order to get clean, I had to master a process that has saved the lives of millions of addicts all over the world. A process, that taught me how to live Mask-Free.
For the last 17 years, I have developed the skill of living Mask-Free and used it to excel in my career, found an Inc. 500 company, give a viral TED talk, write a book and marry my soulmate.
Now, my mission is to equip you with a proven system for living Mask-Free so that you can be your true self without apology, shame or regret and absolutely thrive in work and life.
DO YOU FIND YOURSELF:
Saying “yes” when you could say “no”
Hiding a weakness
Avoiding difficult conversations
Holding back your unique perspective
Spending time on things you’ll regret at the end of your life
BEING THE REAL YOU WILL
No matter who you are or what you do, your entire success is based on your ability to connect with others by taking off your mask. By hiding what makes you unique, you are depriving the world of a truly great leader: YOU
1
Practice Rigorous Authenticity
Be true to yourself in word and action
2
Surrender The Outcome
Let go of the result in any situation
3
Do Uncomfortable Work
Do the emotional work you’re avoiding
It’s an entirely new way to live, and it all comes back to the three principles. You were put on this earth for a unique purpose. If you live by these principles, it’s almost impossible to wear a mask.
If you are ready to identify your masks and remove them for good, click here to start.
WARNING: These principles can sound simple but they are extremely hard to practice. 90% of leaders don’t. But if you do, they will give you a competitive advantage.
Worried that being your true self will hurt you at work?
I thought so too, but it turned out to be the opposite.
The success I was able to achieve was not in spite of being a drug addict, but because of it.
The secret isn’t just knowing what to stop – it’s knowing what to start

I was holding back my unique talents because I was scared of things I couldn’t control. Since going through Michael’s program, I have taken steps to STOP holding back my gifts and START putting them out there for the world to see. In less than a month, I stepped away from my corporate job so I can be present and home with my son. I have taken steps toward putting my unique talents into a business I have dreamed of growing for years. I know this will allow me to be the best version of me for my family. A lot can change in 28 days. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next 28!

Michael’s Mask-Free workshop is unlike anything we have ever done as a team. We not only learned the three principles we learned HOW to use them. It was a great way for our group to bond and understand the importance of living Mask-Free.
