Michael Luckman – College/University Speaker and Author of Overpowering Fear-Defeating the #1 Challenge in Sales and Life
Michael Luckman has over forty-five years in business starting as a salesperson, then marketing innovator and serial entrepreneur, Michael is today a successful and dynamic speaker, trainer and mentor. In his live talks and bestselling book, “Overpowering Fear,” he opens up his life and the lessons learned to help his listeners uncover their own fear and then overpower them. As Michael describes in his book, “My greatest regret in life was that I never had a mentor. Someone who would have taken an interest in me, given me honest feedback and guided me along life’s path of challenges and triumphs.” Michael is now that mentor to millions of college students under the guise of “Papa Mike,” that wise grandfather figure many of us wish we had.
