Why Organizations Bring Mike Back
Mike was the star of the most successful event I've put on in my entire career. We immediately became known by our customers as the company that put on the “21” event.
Brian Mahoney
Principal, MatrixPoint
After years of YPO events, it's challenging to find something our members haven't experienced before. Mike's presentation during the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix solved that — the true MIT story combined with interactive card counting gave our members something genuinely fresh. The format worked perfectly: engaging presentation followed by a hands-on demonstration that let members experience the strategy themselves.
David Hauser
Learning Chair, YPO Las Vegas
I've booked dozens of entertainers over the years and Mike is one of the few I have brought back repeatedly—my clients always rave about him. People are fascinated by his story and love learning the secrets of card counting.
