Michael didn't want to be a rock star. Yes, it was fun. They released two albums and went on tour. But he wanted to be a teacher, and has been for over 25 years. This is the story of honoring the gift of doing what you were truly meant to do.  There was also the stint on Wall Street. Michael discusses how he talked his way into that job, schmoozed his way up the ladder, had way too much fun, and then how he came to the realization that it was time to step aside. Also, hear the story of how Michael's brother came through to him from the other side - clearly, standing before him - and the message he delivered. For reasons that may be clear while listening to this episode, Michael's last name has been withheld.
