In the 60th episode of Be Real, I will be joined by Michael S. Seaver is the Founder and CEO of Seaver Consulting, LLC. He is an award-winning executive coach, author, keynote speaker, and podcast host. He’s on a mission to unlock human potential to help people uncover and live their purpose, and live a more meaningful and authentic life.

Michael was raised in a small, conservative West Michigan town in the '80s and '90s. His grandfather started their family's lawn maintenance business in 1953 and he devoted 12 years to helping his father and grandfather live comfortably. At the age of 23, he moved to Arizona to begin anew.

Two years ago, he contemplated suicide. He felt excruciating pain and had to emotionally surrender. His cat, Cleopatra, sensed his despair and kept him grounded. He chose to dig deeper into his spiritual practices and the following months transformed his relationships and business. He’s rising from the ashes and beginning to stand authentically in his truths.

There are many things I love about this episode, because of how he conveys his perception of life. Just like me, he is also crashing through conventional boundaries. Michael thrives at the intersection of next-generation business strategy concepts, positive psychology, and conscious capitalism. His unique methodology has revolutionized how leaders can live authentically and how organizations engage employees. Michael leverages eye-opening statistics, emotional storytelling, humor, and audience participation to deliver a memorable message with clear takeaways. He offers no-nonsense strategies to help people find confidence in their life’s narrative, commonalities across generations working today, and ways to communicate with emotional intelligence.
