9 Million Ways to Win ft. Michael Bernoff   Summary:   What’s keeping you awake at night?   In today’s episode of the ‘I Own It’ Podcast by Ben Reinberg, I am joined by Michael Bernoff, a speaker, coach, entrepreneur, book author, President and Founder of the Human Communications Institute, and the CEO and Founder of his self-named company, Michael Bernoff.    Michael is the get-go-guy for self-development and personal transformation. He works directly with corporate executives to worldwide leaders. His own journey to self-discovery wasn’t easy, but he managed to conquer and be his living proof that every person has the potential to overcome limiting beliefs and achieve a life beyond limits.   His book entitled ‘Average Sucks: Why You Don't Get What You Want (And What to Do About It)’ which took him 9 years to write and only to finish in 3 hours is another massive revelation of what he can offer.   As of this writing, Michael has been in the industry of self-development for 22 years and his passion beyond the mission to empower individuals is truly inspiring.
