In the months that followed, Mike became a professional wrestler, found and won the heart of his future wife, became vegetarian, and shed countless pounds to become stronger and more agile.
His primary life focus has become to inspire people to find the joy, value, and meaning in their lives, no matter what the circumstances. Learn how in this exceptional interview. As a special treat, Mike also performs a song on guitar that he wrote for a friend dying of brain cancer.
