Mike’s Bio & Media Kit
By his 35th birthday, Mike Michalowicz (mi-‘kal-o-wits) had built and sold two multi-million-dollar companies.
Convinced he had cracked the code to success, he became an angel investor… and proceeded to lose everything: his money, his confidence, and nearly his mind.
That breakdown became his breakthrough.
Determined to rise stronger, Mike committed to more than rebuilding his bank account. He set out to transform how business owners approach both their work and their lives. His mission: to create simple systems that generate lasting wealth, meaningful impact, and personal freedom, while elevating health, happiness, and purpose.
Today, Mike is known worldwide for helping individuals take back control of their time, money, and energy. He’s the host of the upcoming TV show The 4-Minute Money Maker, a mainstage speaker at top-tier events, and a trusted voice on major podcasts, recognized for his raw, real, and refreshingly practical insights.
Mike runs two thriving companies of his own and is a partner in two dozen more, using them as live labs to test everything he teaches. He’s the creator of Profit First, the cash-flow system that’s helped over a million business owners go from survival to consistent profitability. His next release, The Money Habit (2026), brings his breakthrough approach to personal finance, showing people how to build wealth by working with their natural tendencies, not against them.
His other bestselling books include All In, Get Different, Fix This Next, Clockwork, Surge, The Pumpkin Plan, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, and My Money Bunnies, a money book for kids.
Whether on stage, on screen, or in the trenches with entrepreneurs, Mike Michalowicz is a rare bridge between personal growth and business success. His anti-broey, anti-guru, real-world good guy approach empowers all types of people to have a better work experience and a life they’re genuinely proud to live—whether they run a company or clock in for one.

Why Mike’s Cool(ish)
Mike’s most humbling moment: After losing his fortune, Mike’s 9 year old daughter offered her piggy bank savings to support the family.
He is a recipient of the SBA’s Young Entrepreneur of The Year Award – and a (marginally) good guitar player.
Despite the fact that he would rather get a beer than take a final exam, Mike is a graduate of Inc. & MIT’s Birthing of Giants Entrepreneurial Program.
