Mike's Case Studies
I have a simple rule of business: I only work with people I love and businesses I love or can fall in love with.
WHY? Because when I’m inspired, I can put my whole heart into you and together we will create a useful experience that produces rapid results.
The clients I have worked with have had massive success in transforming their businesses. Below are the eight primary business categories that I have helped cultivate and transform. .
If your business type or category isn’t listed, let’s chat and see what kind of magic we can create. Every business and every owner has the same fundamental challenges.
Every business needs a unique story so it can be positioned as a “category of one,” so it can own and dominate an idea in your prospect’s mind with preeminence and authority. The same is true with YOU, the founder and owner of the business. As a business owner, you need to be seen as an authority, expert, or celebrity with status to make you competition and recession proof.
That’s what we do together.

Paula Abdul
What Mike Did:
Paula is a resilient and constant “reinventor.” She’s gone from being a dancer to MTV star, doing television and American Idol, to infomercials, speaking and her own line of products. I was asked to advise Paula while she developed her personal brand, helped her build her own list (like many big stars, she didn’t have control of her own database), crafted her messaging, scripts and directed her for a T-Mobile campaign.

TONY ROBBINS
What Mike Did:
I coordinated and connected Tony with some of the smartest and brightest marketers in the world, and as a result of that, we helped Tony produce two successful online launches. I set Tony up with a home video studio and gave him the idea for “The New Money Masters” – a program that featured legendary marketers, Frank Kern, Jeff Walker, Eben Pagan, Russell Brunson, Brendon Burchard, Dean Graziosi, Dean Jackson, Marie Forleo, and more. Tony changed my life and he's still an advocate and a friend. He was kind enough to narrate my “sizzle reel” which has served as a fantastic credibility booster anytime I walk on stage.

DR. GOWRI REDDY ROCCO
What Mike Did:
Dr. Gowri Reddy Rocco specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. She was looking for ways to increase her visibility and status as a medical professional, desperately wanted to share her message, had been “working on” a book for five years and dreamed of speaking and getting in the media, TV and podcasts but didn’t know where or how to begin. I helped Dr. Gowri find her voice, create a message, craft her stories and get her book published to #1 international status. I also media trained and interviewed her so she is ready for local and national television. We repriced her services that have increased her income and profitability significantly. I also got her booked for her first speaking opportunity.
More importantly, I convinced Dr. Gowri to finally talk about her and ask permission of her incredible celebrity friends and patients including Suzanne Somers, Sarah Palin, Dr. John West, NASCAR Legend Walker Evans and hopefully in the near future a veritable cornucopia of other celebrities and rock stars we’ve all heard of.

I helped her become a #1 international bestselling author, improved her messaging, developed her TED-style speech and created additional packages to elevate her value and pricing. Dr. Shelly graduated by speaking on my stage.

DR. KAYLEA BOUTWELL LENARZ
What Mike Did:
Dr. Lenarz is an extremely talented doctor who specializes in pain. She’s also incredibly funny, engaging and a natural-born presenter and performer. She belongs on stage in front of audiences. We worked on her messaging, origin story and transitioned out of a practice she worked at for over a decade to starting her own practice. After honing her story and message, we helped her publish her book and become an #1 international bestselling author. Next, we turned her story into a TED-style talk and put her on my stage. I media trained and prepared her for on-camera performances on television, web video and podcasts.

JR BURGESS
What Mike Did:
As the CEO of a 27,000 sq. ft. wildly successful integrated medical fitness practice, JR was on a mission to change the face of healthcare by helping other medical practices around the world implement the systems he’d developed in his own medical practice. I’ll let JR tell you his story…
“I used to work grueling, 100-hour work weeks at the expense of my family and my personal health. We had moderate success, but I knew there had to be a better way to share my message and help more practices using our Cash Practice Success Platform. When I met Mike and learned about his systems, I immediately knew that it would be a “game changer” for us. I began implementing and with Mike’s advice, we got clear on our message, increased our prices, skyrocketed our conversions and we’ve DOUBLED OUR BUSINESS IN ONE YEAR. We now guide over 60 practices worldwide in implementing medical systems that provide patients alternatives to drugs and surgery while addressing the real cause of disease and degeneration. I’m intensely grateful for Mike and his team.”
More importantly, I convinced Dr. Gowri to finally talk about her and ask permission of her incredible celebrity friends and patients including Suzanne Somers, Sarah Palin, Dr. John West, NASCAR Legend Walker Evans and hopefully in the near future a veritable cornucopia of other celebrities and rock stars we’ve all heard of.

This helped him grow his annual event and membership platform, “Abundance 360” which attracts worldwide visionaries, influencers and financiers.

He built and sold an AI company, MTELL which pioneered machine learning in industrial diagnostics. That’s the technobabble. Alex is all about augmenting people to become superhuman. I helped him craft his core story around human transformation, not things, about being, not doing which resulted in messaging that cuts through straight to your soul. Armed with the message, clarity and confidence, in just six months, Alex wrote and published the #1 international best selling author of “Augmented Mind: AI, Superhumans, and the Next Economic Revolution”, got media trained and expanded his platform to a new web site and is in the process of expanding his reach through speaking, podcasts, “Neocortex Ventures”, his incubator and “Global Mind”, an elite AI and Machine Intelligence mastermind group.

DOUGLAS TRAYLOR
What Mike Did:
When we first met, Doug ran a $100 million insurance company that creates unique financial instruments for banks that are sold by financial advisors. His goal is to reach $1B in sales in five years and knew he needed to uplevel his speaking, authority, influence, get media trained, become a bestselling author and become more accountable. In less than 90 days, he became a #1 International Bestselling Author, developed his TED-style speech, created his press package, media trained and interviewed him professionally in studio. Doug’s big breakthrough came when we worked on an offer story that he delivered to a prospect he had been working on for nearly five years and closed an $80 million deal. You read that right – $80 Million! That opportunity has developed into a relationship Doug values in the hundreds of millions – putting his company at a run rate of $1B, 4 years sooner than he anticipated.
Figure/stat improvement: An $80 million deal closed in 48 hours was just a start, take a look at this text message from Doug – he anticipates reaching $1 Billion in revenue this year…now, if I only would have negotiated a percentage! Doug, remember me during the holidays!

TODD ELDREDGE
What Mike Did:
Todd Eldredge is the founder of CardioRisk Laboratories. Todd has a unique product that saves lives by predicting heart attack and stroke risk early by measuring plaque levels in arteries. For years, he’s struggled to establish authority and converting doctor and medical lab leads into customers. In less than six months, we crafted his messaging, produced and published a #1 international bestselling book, created a new package offering, increased his prices and composed a speech and offer that resulted in the highest converting sales from a single event in the history of his company. We also developed a personal, authentic and emotional core story that connected deeply with his target audience in his speech and book. He called me recently from his car with his wife, both of them in tears, thanking me for their best year ever.
Figure/stat improvement: Last year Todd reported he had the best sales in the history of his business due to the book, product offering and the presentation speech we crafted!
“I just received a message from my accountant – our business has MORE than DOUBLE the number of accounts using us this April and May compared to the same time period LAST April and May! I’m verklempt!! 😂🤩🙌Thank you so much! I believe that is a direct result of the book and the subsequent platform it created. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!”

TRAFFIC GEYSER AND INSTANT CUSTOMER
What Mike Did:
Traffic Geyser was originally launched in 2005 and represented the first automated digital video marketing platform and came out the same year as YouTube. As the product evolved, it allowed users to upload content and with the click of a button distribute it to as many as 100 different video sites, blogs, podcast directories, and social media networks to automate the top 10 search engine ratings in as little as 20 minutes. Over the course of nearly 10 years, Traffic Geyser was used by nearly 40,000 customers.
Instant Customer was the first interactive two-way mobile text email, voicemail, marketing system that allowed users to text their contact information to a phone number or shortcode and deliver text, photos, and video. It automated direct response marketing, lead capture, podcasting, social media distribution, and IVR (Integrated Voice Response) systems in one platform.
Both companies were acquired by a publicly-traded company in 2015.

Testimonial:
“I know I touch lives as the voice behind Hal Elrod’s, Miracle Morning Audio Books. My career as a professional voice over actor has been prosperous and something I passionately love doing. I’ve triumphed over many hardships, including the near death of my daughter (and myself!) and I realized what made that triumph possible. Action. I knew I was meant to help people, but I had no idea how to get started. I found Mike’s systems and coaching to be invaluable. Over 3 months. I’ve built my brand, grown my own platform, grown a community of thousands, I’m speaking on stages and have taken the experience and advice I used to give away for free and am now getting paid 5 Figures to consult entrepreneurs and business owners. It is a beautiful thing to wake up every morning and know that you're making a difference with your message. Mike showed me the steps needed to accomplish it all. I am sure glad I took action.”
