When life threw curveballs at Michael Allison , he didn’t just dodge; he caught them and threw them right back. Join us as the CEO of The Adversity Academy recounts a life marked by sheer resilience, from the sun-baked streets of Jamaica to the top tier of entrepreneurship. His candid narrative isn’t just about the hardships but how they forged his path to greatness. Allison takes us through the highs and lows, from an ill-fated football career to his transformative military service and the mental health battles that ensued.

From university presidents to the person next door, Allison’s clientele share a common thread: the hunger for transformation. In this interview, he delves into the importance of empathy in the workplace, how to support colleagues in silent struggles, and how breaking free from limiting beliefs can unleash potential you never knew you had.
