Meet Michael Kiett | Film Entrepreneur and Performance Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Michael Kiett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michael, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The thought behind my behind was how do I solve the gap between reform and poverty. The gap between returning felons and homelessness. The thought was how do I create a real solution to victims of a system being able to return to society no just as a productive citizen but in other words a boss, the head of their household the hierarchy in their families legacy.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Im a Venture capitalist, Creative Director and Performance Coach/mentor. I invested in a lot of companies some I even had to do the day to day work to get them off the ground. I write books and film scripts that I later produce into films. I teach kids how to write books especially children books. And my purpose, the one thing that brings me the most satisfaction, joy and reward is helping others reach their real potential. Nothing I ever have done has been easy. I teach from wisdom not words. Meaning I learned everything though mistakes. Truthfully the reason I overcome my challenges is because of the trauma of my childhood. I refused to be that kid that always quit, I refuse to be that child that was afraid of others and ultimately afraid of himself so I use that. It puts a battery in my back that electrifies my movements throughout out life. The biggest lesson I learned along the way is that ” They have to laugh at you before they clap for you.” You will be bad before you get good. We over estimate what we can do in a year and underestimate what we can do in ten. Boredom is the realm of success love it

The one thing about Mike Kiett the brand that I want everybody to know is anything and everything I say and teach comes from experience not from a book. If I tell you its either I did it the wrong way and now I know how to do it right, or I did it right and this is how you win. The one thing in this world that I am an expert in is finding problems and creating the solution. Your dreams, your goals, your fears, your insecurities are all safe in the hands of Mike Kiett.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Definatey would eat breakfast at Barney’s in the morning. Food is good and they have great vegan options which I Like cuz I don’t eat any meat (pause). I would do lunch at bar taco, bar vegan or battawla. For dinner I would do 26 Thai, Roc south, Barcelona. All of those places also have great drinks. But for hanging out I would do Whiskey Mistress, Apartment 4b and Fellowship. If I’m being a little ratchet then I’m going to Blue Lounge, Pasha and Opium. I would do Some Trail Hiking, Goto Ponce City Market and unwind at 3rd strike.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
In some aspects of my success always have to be thankful for my mother and for my grandfathers. For their teachings, education and support as a child. My wife for helping me achieve success through family by helping me and allowing me to fulfill the father aspect of my life success even when sometimes i’m absent because of trying to achieve a certain status in my life. Now when it comes to my monetary success and my success in my goals and ambitions it can alway be linked to my resilience, my willingness to always get up and now matter what and the one person responsible for fueling that file would be my closest friend Tarik Joseph. He is the one friend, one brother who has never been in competition with me, has been there through all of my mistakes and not one time lost faith in me. He has inspired me by his actions and by his words of encouragement really instilling the belief in me that I was meant for greatness. That alone maybe the rarest thing any black man in this world could dream of.
