Episode 2 – “Teenage Wasteland”

In this chapter of Odyssey of a Teenage Dirtbag, Michael takes a nostalgic look back at the reckless chaos of the 2000s—the nights that felt infinite, the mistakes that felt permanent, and the moments that quietly shaped the man he would become. From breaking the rules and finding freedom to chasing adventures too big for a small town, this episode explores how rebellion, pain, and persistence can all grow from the same soil.

✦ Real-life storytelling from a former high-school dropout turned attorney, creator, and entrepreneur.
✦ Honest reflections on identity, failure, resilience, and finding purpose after the chaos.
