Talks that are inspiring and not tiring.
Mike’s engaging, entertaining, and relevant content will make you rethink everything!
Mike’s NEW BOOK is now available!
After forty years in professional sport and business, Michael Friedman sits down to describe the harrowing career path that he — a self-described “ordinary guy”– pursued, stumbled on, raced along, departed from, triumphed through and is still following with undiminished enthusiasm.
This is no “how to” book, as Friedman admits, nor a “how not to” book. It’s simply what happened, but recounted with enough honesty that we can laugh and learn as we try to keep up with Mike’s busy but meandering path.
Think More. Do More. Be More. Get More.
“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better” – Jim Rohn
Results come with an actionable game plan. In order to get better results, we have to think about what we want. Thinking causes an emotion which triggers you to take action. Action generates power, and power makes you better. By being better, we achieve results.
Mike’s words will change your life.
Critically acclaimed and inspirational public speaker, Mike Friedman, knows how to deliver high-impact lessons through real-life story telling. His hilarious presentation will captivate your group and leave them connected and inspired.
Testimonials

Wanted to let you know how grateful we in the HED dept are for your time and inspiration. The HEDs were most touched by your message and life experience. We would be interested in having you teach the HEDs about monetizing their business within the 6 week curriculum. Watching all the hands go up when you asked who was interested in being an entrepreneur truly opened my eyes to how I could better serve the students. I wanted to acknowledge the value of your offering this session and send you gratitude.

I was a student at the Ohio State Fisher Business school and in my real estate class, Michael Friedman was a guest lecturer. I honestly felt I learned more with Mike Friedman's lecture than I did the entire school year. His style and ability to simplify complicated real estate concepts was amazing. He told us about his recent 300 Million dollar acquisition that he coordinated and his details about how a "REAL TRANSACTION" was so cool!
He also had everybody in stitches with laughter, as he described the use of acronyms as a way to FAKE YOUR WAY through a real estate meeting. I e-mailed Michael a few mos after his presentation to our class, (I asked him for his business card, and he gave it to me) and he spent 30 minutes with me on the phone assisting me with some questions I had about my first real estate job interview I going to have!

Michael Friedman came highly recommended, and his presentation was worth the praise. He gave a Powerful and passionate speech about finding one's personal passion, and how there is no real RIGHT WAY to influence and persuade people to take action. He spoke for 1 hour and the entire group was mesmerized with his message and his enthusiasm about the science of human behavior. He discussed that we all share the same fears about failure and that we all share the two same wants; Health and Success.
It was fascinating to hear him discuss why some people come close to achieving what we all want, (and the reasons why they do) and how most people do not find what they are looking for. We asked Michael back several times and our participation to attend this early morning meeting, was always the highest when the Northwestern Team knew Mike was speaking.
