Description

Who is Quentin Michael?Quentin grew up in Minnesota. He was a shy, soft-spoken kid with a mind that went a mile a minute. (later being diagnosed with ADHD)In 2012, he moved to Wisconsin to start university and found his interests sparked in the tech industry. He attempted to create his first startup that was in the virtual reality space but failed within the next 6 months. He later realized he'd entered the space to just "look cool" and not for the right reasons. Despite the failed attempt, he still kept an eye on the possibility of entrepreneurship as he finished his bachelor's.Two years after graduating he found himself in a bad situation, mentally and financially. He'd hit rock bottom. Over the next 6-9 months he dabbled with different platforms and soon found himself on Linkedin where he become one of Linkedin's first video creators. After beginning to find success on the platform, he started the marketing agency, Urban MisFit Ventures. Over the next few years his company, following, and opportunities grew. Linkedin had changed his life. He found himself on Wisconsin's 25 under 25 and speaking at events like VidCon and TEDx. The opportunity and income came at a cost though, a TON of his time. Micheal found himself working 80+ hours a week with his life revolving around his business.After 2 1/2 years of excitement, things came crashing down in 2020. He shut his company down, COVID hit, & his younger brother passed changing his life perspective forever. Everything changed.Over the next year, things slowed down as he attempted to find his next moves. He dabbled in consulting and podcasting. After that year of reflection, in January 2021, he left entrepreneurship momentarily and become the Marketing Lead at, Lewis Howe's, Greatness Media. After a year, he found himself back into the constant working cycle and felt his work at Greatness Media had run its course despite being a wonderful experience.
