Unlocked From Within
There was a time when I nearly gave up on everything.
My business was failing.
I couldn’t provide for my family.
As a new father, I felt like I was drowning in shame, fear, and self-doubt.
I faced the two things I feared most:
Almost going bankrupt in 2021 and going on Government assistance i did not think i would survive. I was emotionally bankrupt.
It was my darkest season.
But somewhere in that pain, I found a flicker of hope to keep moving forward and taking action day by day with breathwork, ice baths, self help, personal development & business audio books, podcasts, and exercise.
I began to rebuild slowly.
Day by day, I found something I had lost:
Belief in myself.
That belief became my fuel.
It helped me rebuild my business.
It helped me become a better father.
And it helped me create this podcast:
Unlocked From Within.

Originally from Perth, Western Australia, Mike got off to a bit of a rough start. Battling undiagnosed ADHD & dyslexia, he started using drugs and alcohol at age 12. At age 16, he was expelled for Aquinas College and finished at Melville H.S. Immediately after graduation, Mike moved to Sydney and enrolled at the Actors Center. He got a job at a local clothing store which, unbeknownst to him at the time, would change his life forever. Lady Luck was on Mike’s side when a customer at the store handed him a Green Card Lottery ticket. Mike won a green card in 1997 and made the move to Miami. Shortly after his arrival, Mike landed a role on the CBS sitcom, Grapevine from Director David Frankel. After Grapevine, Mike moved to NYC, where he worked on various projects including as a guest star on Sex and the City. Mike wrote, created and starred in a VH1 pilot with former STP and Velvet Revolver frontman, Scott Weiland.

Mike was properly introduced into the tattoo world when he appeared on Miami Ink. He later became the store manager for his good friend, Ami James, at Wooster St and starred on Season 3 of NY Ink. Mike then headed back to his hometown where he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew, based on Bondi Beach. Although Mike has had plenty of “highs” in his life, he has also had his “low” moments along the way. Mike has battled cocaine and alcohol addiction for the majority of his life. The defining moment came at the height of his career while shooting a TV show for VH1. To the outside world, Mike looked like he was living the dream but on the inside, Mike was spiritually bankrupt and miserable. He realized that if he didn’t turn his life around, he was going to die.
