Hey, I’m Michael.
I write about startups, self mastery, and spirituality.
On a mission to expand consciousness and merge it with the systems shaping our world. I deploy capital, ideas, and wisdom toward ventures that yield freedom + impact.
ABOUT ME
Advisor, Author, Investor
I’m an 11-year tech leader, SaaS advisor, and micro-investor. Author of Content Capitalist, the definitive guide to content-led growth.
In 2018, following a powerful spiritual awakening, I founded New Earth Knowledge™ — a new-age education platform that grew to 60,000 followers before I exited in 2023.
I’m 2x YC-linked, ex-Antler (Dubai Spring 2024), ex-SAP. These days I split my time between my full-time job at a YC-backed Bay Area scale-up, building my personal channels, and writing small checks into startup ventures.
At my core, I’m obsessed with systems — whether that’s the mechanics of a lead funnel, the discipline of heavy lifting in the gym, or new experiences that push me beyond my edge.
I live for expansion, growth, and finding the patterns that move the needle.
I usually keep to myself. My solitude and space for inner reflection are the most sacred things to me. My best ideas usually come while running trails, in a cold plunge, or sitting with the void beneath a full moon.
I believe that personal power comes from balance: building, training, learning, and then stepping back to recharge.
I work and reside in Silicon Valley.
I’m a multi-dimensional philosopher-operator.
My natural energy confuses a lot of people. As you can see, I sport tattoos, dope-ass shades, and the occasional bling. Yet I’m simultaneously sensitive, soft, hyper-intuitive, and quiet. I just think of myself as unique. My personal aim is to continue to become a modern Renaissance Man, a polymath, and enlightened guru — each tall tasks in their own right, but I hold myself to incredibly high standards most do not understand.
My personal values:
Relentless discipline
Heavy lifting, long runs, and consistent deep work. The body and the business both demand reps.
Experimentation as growth
I treat life like a test cell — iterate, measure, and double down on what works.
Self-sovereignty
I build for freedom: the ability to travel, invest, and choose projects on my own terms.
Unfiltered truth
I don’t sugarcoat. Whether in business or life, clarity beats comfort every time.
Exploration of edges
New countries, new ideas, new systems. I go where others hesitate, because that’s where the leverage is.
Solitude as power
Time alone fuels clarity, creativity, and sharper judgment. I protect it as much as any meeting.
