(Note: If you're confused about those letters I keep using like ENTP or xNFJ, I encourage you to take my personality type test here: https://michaelcaloz.com/personality/)

I'm a multi-passionate person, so I’ve had a winding career path:

- Working on some of the top-rated video games of all time at Square Enix and Naughty Dog;

- Doing postgraduate research on a prestigious full scholarship at the #1 university in Japan (which I ended up leaving early, but that's another story);

- Leading user experience design and digital product management for some of the top brands in the world;

- Management consulting, Agile coaching, and executive coaching leaders at Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, and startups.

Super successful, right?

On paper, sure. But I realized I wasn’t happy. I felt empty inside. Numb. Not connected to anything bigger than myself (I was a strong atheist; I wasn't deeply passionate about a cause; and, there wasn't any community I felt real belonging in).

So, after years of settling for my life feeling "meh, ok"—and telling myself that my job was probably fine, maybe my standards for happiness were too high—I finally decided to prioritize what I really needed.

My transformation:

I took dramatic action, pushing myself way outside my comfort zone. Everything from sky diving, to plant medicine journeys, to ecstatic dance in a forest yurt, to getting ultra-vulnerable in front of big crowds of people.

Along the way, I quit my fancy, high-paying career, and I signed up for all sorts of training to prepare me to support people with their deepest challenges.

Eventually, I transformed my experience of life—I felt dramatically more connection and fulfillment; more impact and ease in getting important things done; and more aliveness than I knew was possible.

I’d love to help you do the same.
