In this episode of The Nova Show: Real Estate Records, host Kristi Bowdish sits down with Michael for a candid, funny, and inspiring conversation about how his media background shaped his real estate career. Michael opens up about leaving radio, surviving a tough market, and finding his voice (again) by leaning into authenticity and service.
