https://speakerhub.com/speaker/michael-massey After publishing his memoir, "More" in 2022 and releasing the audiobook in 2023, Michael Massey has launched a public speaking component of his career, with emphasis on recovery and life beyond substance abuse. Part concert, part storytelling, Massey uses photographs and live performance to share his life in music, a cycle into the hell of alcoholism, the epiphany of accepting assistance to move forward, strategies to help in recovery, and the triumphs and accomplishments, navigating this world with a healthy mind and body. Father, husband, musician, composer and author. A life that wouldn’t exist. He would have died from alcoholism without altering his path. Michael sees himself as an example that change is possible, even when the world seems hopeless.
