In his book Borrowed Theme, our guest Michael Evans makes the case that living in blind faith keeps people trapped in a mechanical life and prevents us from achieving our true life’s potential. Michael is a successful businessman and published author, but in college, he contemplated suicide, and realized he had nothing to lose by chasing his true dreams.He turned to philosophy, literature and more recently, to science, studying astrophysics at the University of Copenhagens distant learning program. He is now CEO of an international security company, a devoted husband and father who lives each and every one of his 27,000 days in the present moment. Michael argues that the “collective beliefs” people have today regarding religion, politics, morals and often marriage are outdated, nonsensical, and in many cases, dangerous. His first book was titled “The Real Matrix.” His website is www.therealmatrixbook.net.

Together we have amassed two master’s degrees in business administration and management and have more than thirty-five years of management and leadership experience. Over the course of their marriage, they’ve picked up and shared many of the insights they wished others had taught along the way.
