When the housing market crashed in 2009, Michael Erath lost everything. Due to a combination of declining sales, betrayals from key staff, and personal shortcomings, Michael went from owning two businesses generating $45 million in annual revenue to seeing both of them destroyed while at the same time nearly losing his marriage and his home. But he didn’t let failure keep him down. Instead, he learned from his mistakes and rose back to success.

Michael’s journey inspired him to help others avoid the mistakes he made by bringing discipline, accountability, and balance into their work and personal lives. In Rise, Michael recounts his remarkable story with brutal honesty and self-reflection. He demonstrates how moving beyond a one-size-fits-all business operating system and leveraging a custom-tailored approach, while also building healthy, open, and honest leadership teams, can help entrepreneurs free themselves from the control their businesses have over them, fall back in love with their businesses, and achieve their dreams.

Part refreshingly honest memoir and part guide for entrepreneurs, Rise will show you how to get out of your own way and live your ideal life.

Michael is one of those people you meet and immediately understand he has walked in your shoes. His ambition and passion for smoking out issues in business are like no other. He has an ability to bring a team together, build trust, and open minds. Our world, home, and workplace are filled with “People Issues” and Michael has given us a process to manage this.

When you need to change abruptly or evolve gently, Michael will be there.

Erath courageously opens the curtain to let us see the type of raw human challenges faced by more entrepreneurs than you realize.

From there, he takes us along for his journey back to Freedom - with some helpful prescriptive ideas for others wanting to achieve freedom of their own.

A note for Visionaries: I consumed the whole book in a single listen during a long run at 1.5x.
