Michael is a serial entrepreneur, restauranteur, podcast host, and expert in the worlds of wellness, fitness, and nutrition. After years in the restaurant business in NYC, he realized that his calling was to be of service in a more personal way, with the ability to impact more lives. Honoring his 17 years of sobriety by launching his newest venture, Michael's goal with KOH was to create easily-accessible nutritional products rooted in adopting the positive habits that transformed his life (btw, his overnight oatmeal is crazy good and there’s a 15% discount with code BGL15 if you click here).
