Author, Speaker, Mentor, all around Good Egg
About MichaelI’m Michael D. Martin, a writer, mentor, and lifelong believer that most of us are figuring life out as we go.My writing comes from lived experience: family, fatherhood, mistakes, second chances, health, travel, and the strange turns life takes when the plan falls apart. I write honestly about the things we often think about but don’t always say out loud.The book “What Holds Up: A Practical Guide to Building a Man” is the culmination of my life experience, my experience raising sons, and many years of working with young people and parents. It is a guide for young men trying to find their way, and parents trying to help them.I also mentor young men who feel stuck, behind, or unsure how to move into adult life, along with parents trying to help them become independent. I focus on practical, real-world stuff: work, drug, money, responsibility, relationships, confidence, and learning how to build a life that actually works.I’m not a therapist or a guru. I’m a guy who has lived enough life to have made plenty of mistakes, learned a few things the hard way, and discovered that sometimes having someone walk beside you for a while makes all the difference.
