Despite financial challenges, his strategic pivots and focus on business coaching drove significant growth. His story highlights the importance of passion, resilience, and continuous learning. Michael Sheridan is “Ireland’s favorite dream expert,” author of two books, and a radio host.

He was a regular on the #1 TV talk show in Ireland — Ireland AM — as well as a regular on Ireland’s most popular radio shows, including “The Inbox” on 98FM, sharing the stage with both metaphysical and movie stars such as Paddy McMahon and Frank Vincent. He’s appeared on the BBC and countless other premier media outlets, interpreting dreams for his wide audience. He’s the author of two books as well as a radio host with his own show on KKNW. His passion is to see people become all they came here to be and to live their life to its fullest potential. He does this by interpreting dreams.

With a focus on helping clients heal childhood trauma, Michael launched his first course in 1992. In 2012, he added online courses to his offerings and by 2015, after much experimentation, he switched entirely to an online hybrid model using the Ruzuku LMS. The hybrid model greatly increased course reach, course efficiency, and course effectiveness — and laid the framework for many later courses.
