Michael also addresses the critical threat of cyber terrorism in his presentation “Going Out of Business Could Be Just One Click Away.” As businesses face increasing ransomware attacks that can destroy companies within six months, Michael teaches organizations the safe and proper protocols for handling data and training employees to recognize threats before they can destroy what took a lifetime to build.
He helps audiences understand that learning proper cybersecurity measures could save them from losing everything in a matter of seconds. During his distinguished NYPD career in the intelligence division, Michael was assigned to protect high-profile international figures, including the Shah of Iran and Madame Chang of Taiwan, personally met four U.S. Presidents, and served as an intelligence officer to the U.S. State Department, participating in treaty negotiations between the United States and Turkey.
As a decorated former member of the NYPD and recipient of 19 medals for exceptional service, he discovered a critical flaw in NYC payroll procedures and was instrumental in proposing a change to the NYC disability law in 1981, which, when enacted, saved the city over $200 million, reduced taxes, and helped balance the city’s budget.
After 15 years of distinguished police work, Michael transitioned to finance and management, becoming a highly successful small business owner who was twice nominated for operating the best business in America in his field by a national magazine.
Michael is a bestselling author of six books, including ALLEGORY: How One Man’s Lies, Deceit, Arrogance, and Greed Has Gaslighted the World (nominated for the 2024 Pulitzer Prize), Where Did My America Go?, Success By Default: The Depersonalization Of Corporate America, The Conversion Prophecy, Under the Divi Tree: True Love Needs No Reason, and Mental Acuity: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Shaping Your Mind for Greater $uccess.

Good leadership is the key to success. A team is not merely a collection of people. It’s a process that evolves; a process of give and take that builds working relationships. The basic building block of good team building is for a leader to promote the feeling that every human being is unique and adds value to the team, no matter how large or small. If you manage people, do you know how famous you are? They talk about you on the golf course, and they talk about you in the hair salon. Wouldn’t you like those comments to be positive ones?

One of your employees opened an email attachment that looked innocent. Within minutes, every computer workstation in your business was locked up with a message that read, “We have captured your data files and locked your network. Any attempt to access them will destroy them forever. If you want to regain control of your data, wire $50,000 to this account within 24 hours. We will then send you the code to unlock your computer.” Cyber Terrorism has struck! Now What?
