Customer Reviews
Great informative packed podcast
The wick get to the point approach of this podcast makes it great listen. Lots of good topics presented in bite sized portions. Great job and will keep listening. Andy Simpson
Phenomenal Speaker/Teacher
I started as one of Michael's tenants about 4 years ago and enjoyed working with him. He was very helpful and supportive wanting us to succeed. Unfortunately, there were several things in the lease that I didn't understand, other items that I didn't know about or consider, and still more that I should have amended. He was always open and honest, so as my interest in owning a restaurant and developing real estate grew he was the first person I thought of. I now have the privilege of being one of his students/partners and he treats me the same as a tenant, as a student, as a partner. Decades of experience broken down into such easy to digest lessons. This is for the very beginner—like me—to the experts he works with daily. You will not be disappointed.
