MORE FROM MICHAEL:
After escaping from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the media discovered my story. I began receiving calls asking me to come to speak to audiences about the lessons we should learn from the World Trade Center as well as talking about Leadership, Trust and Teamwork, Moving from Diversity to Inclusion and the Human-Animal bond. My wife, Karen, and I decided that selling life and philosophy was much more rewarding and satisfying than selling computer hardware and managing a computer sales team. I have never regretted the decision to change careers. I continue to travel and speak today.
