Ep 13 Michael Mirisch: How I Juggle a Wife, Two Teenagers, a Small Business, and BTW I Have Cancer

<p>What choices do you have when you are diagnosed with cancer? Michael Mirisch will tell you that the only choice you have is to fight. He joins me today to talk about his own personal fight since being diagnosed with leukemia in 2006. We talk through how he handled his diagnosis, the lifestyle changes he made, and how cancer has actually made him a better person. Michael’s positive attitude and passion for life has helped him make choices to fight cancer each and every day.</p> <p><br /> Michael is a husband and father to two amazing teenage girls. He is a producer, promoter, fundraiser, and entrepreneur who is CEO of Hollywood Knights International which is a full service celebrity events production and promotional firm. He is a self-proclaimed workaholic who says “when you love what you do you obviously want to spend as much time doing it.”</p> <p>"I think the biggest battle is the mental battle. And everybody that I talk to it seems like the mental battle is the biggest battle cause when you get up, there’s two decisions you have to make. You have one to either whine about what’s happening or get up and, you know, carpe diem, seize the day.”</p> <p>“Here’s the thing with disease, at least in my eyes: I mean, life doesn’t stop. So, I think that the biggest thing to push you is that you accept the fact that you have to keep going regardless of the disease. The disease is not an excuse to let you stop.”</p> <p>In this episode, you will hear:<br /> - His fears and mental battles and how he overcomes them<br /> - What has helped him to continue to fight cancer each and every day<br /> - Why he made the choice to go back to college late in life</p> <p>Thank you so much for listening!
