Become part of a better future.

Your future, our future, depends on individuals who are brave and dedicated to pursuing a world where courageous coexistence can flourish and lead to civil dialogue and debate versus hate and harm. No one side will win this growing divide among people. History shows us that humanity changes but sharp differences regarding values, truth, and daily life have always existed and likely always will. Become part of pursuing a better future. ​​​

Michael loves to dissect and discuss the large questions of life and existence with anyone interested. From how to overcome daily struggles to geo-politics Mike's interests are broad and varied. He avoids zero-sum debate and confrontation but embraces the full strength of robust dialogue and differences.

Michael is a realist. Sometimes realists are viewed as pessimists because they see the negative as well as the positive. Michael sees opportunities everywhere but recognizes the difficult changes required to turn opportunities into realities. Especially where people and systems are involved. ​​
Michael's reflection on the state of the world takes the same approach. Understanding change requires recognizing the forces and drivers that must be overcome for change to occur. Sometimes these forces and drivers are small and sometimes they look impossible even if they are actually surmountable with the right decisions and actions.

Through Planet Gel-O Outreach Mike hopes he and his team can engage in courageous conversations around deeply important issues with the vision of helping individuals answer some of their own significant questions as well as calling them to pursue a world of courageous coexistence.
