You've built the career. Now build the life.
Most people stop at good. Good job. Good relationship. Good enough shape. I work with the ones who can't shake the feeling there's a version of their life that's genuinely great — and are ready to go find it.
About Mike
From the dream life to the real one
I grew up in New York City. I took a bet on a fully remote sales job before remote work was a thing, and my life expanded. Thirty-plus countries. Total freedom. People told me I was living the dream. They weren't wrong. But deep down I knew something was missing — a career with real purpose, a relationship built to last, and a body I was genuinely proud of.
In 2020, a two-week trip to Berlin turned into two years when COVID grounded my flights and I decided to stay. When that relationship ended I kept moving — a ski season in the Alps, six months in South America, six months in the US, another season in the Alps — before choosing to come back to Berlin for good. This time to stay, and to do the real work. The kind that changes how you show up, not just how you look on paper. That process changed everything: how I lead, how I decide, and who I became on the other side of it.
Now I work with ambitious men and women who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start building a life that actually matches who they are. My coaching is direct, experience-backed, and built around one premise: the life you want is closer than you think — you just need someone to help you see it clearly.

"You're calm, measured — a mirror with the right amount of push and pull. You ask good questions and give me space to respond. I can talk to you about my relationship in a way I can't talk to others." — Dakota, 1:1 coaching client

Real words from real work
Before I started, I was unhappy, lost, and frustrated — mostly at myself. I knew I was misaligned but didn't know how to change it. What I've gotten is clarity, calm, and a completely different understanding of my relationship. Things are smoother. I've come a long way and I finally see it.— Dakota, 1:1 coaching client, 6 months
It's not like going to the bar and drinking beer and talking about problems.... It felt like being hugged. I thought it was pretty fucking cool and I really enjoyed it.— Björn, Men's Circle participant
I feel really light and good. I put everything in my calendar. I feel really refreshed — and ready to keep moving.— Oliver, Men's Circle participant

A space most men never find
I started hosting men's circles because I needed one and couldn't find it. Not a self-help seminar. Not a bar. Something between — where men could sit with each other, tell the truth, and actually do something useful with it.
Each circle has a theme, a guest facilitator, and a few hours of real conversation. You leave with something you can actually use.
