In this episode of Resilience Rocks Sales, Stacey Copas shares a deep and vulnerable conversation with Michael Nitschke, author of Leading Out of Loss. Michael shares his incredible journey from being a successful real estate salesperson to taking on the additional role of CEO at only 30 after the sudden passing of his father.

With no management experience and a young family at home, Michael discovered that he had inherited millions of dollars of debt in the family business that his dad kept hidden from him.

He shares how resilience, vulnerability and his intuitive approach to purpose-driven leadership brought the company back from the brink to thriving with an 'Everest mission' inspiring their team forward.

About Michael:

Michael Nitschke is the CEO and award-winning sales agent at Nitschke Real Estate. At 30 years old, with no prior management or leadership experience, Michael stepped into the director role to run the agency, after losing his parents in sudden succession.

Michael discovered the business was on the brink of collapse, with only six weeks of operating capital left – and millions in hidden debt.

Within three years, Michael transformed Nitschke Real Estate into a profitable, mission-led, independent agency… and now teaches aspiring leaders, business owners and teams how to succeed.

Now, Michael leads a flourishing Nitschke team and remains an active sales agent, while speaking on industry stages around Australia, sharing both his unique experiences and resulting leadership wisdom.

Michael is the author of the part-memoir, part-business book, Leading Out of Loss. He is the host of the Nitschke Podcast.
