Tue Dec 02 2025
Michael Sanders shares his personal journey, highlighting his grandfather's influence on his leadership development and how family support helped him overcome challenges like being given up for adoption at a young age. He discusses his career evolution, including a pivotal $50 million contract win that required him to reinvent himself as a CEO, and his approach to handling business uncertainty through innovation and focusing on what he can control. Michael reflects on the daily compromises of being a business owner and father, his approach to qualifying advice, and his desire to leave a legacy of compassion and empathy rather than business achievements.
