To Michelle, Cultured Kids is a third child, constantly working its way through new stages of development, inciting sleepless nights, and in constant need of attention & nourishment.
While Michelle loves her job and struggles to draw the line between work and life, during her personal time she can be seen backpacking and hiking with her family all over the country,reading four or more books at a time, and dreaming with reckless abandon.
“Having two children of my own and not being able to afford to travel. I wanted to make sure they were exposed to other perspectives. They were not only seeing cultural diversity around them, but that they were actually learning about different cultures and about how to talk about differences.”

Dre “All Day” Baldwin teaches what he learned to help people dominate their game in work and in life. How To Dominate Your Game At Work & In Life (And Avoid Feeling As If You've Wasted Your Talent And Opportunity).
He was a hard-working athlete who had distant dreams of going pro, but he was coming from a small NCAA D3 school, and had no connections to the professional world. To add insult to injury, he couldn't even find an agent to represent him, let alone a professional team to sign with. His career appeared to be over. Most players don't make it pro. It was then he decided to attend an exposure camp -- a job fair for athletes -- which changed his life and sports career. From there things started moving in the right direction.
Ahead of the event, he started showing up to the gym every day and doing my work, even when -- ESPECIALLY when -- he least felt like it. This allowed me to tap into a level of confidence that he didn't even know he had -- which not only helped his performance, but made other people believe in him. His mental toughness sharpened, developing the internal fortitude to push himself when he needed it most.
When all was said and done, he knew his strategy worked when he became a 9-year professional athlete-turned-entrepreneur who has taught his framework to over 73 MILLION business people and athletes worldwide since 2005! He shares his framework for how to dominate any "game” in business, sports and life so you can and avoid feeling as if you've wasted your talent and opportunity.
“Nobody is handed leadership. Leadership is taken. In business it is the exact same thing. You have to take initiative, meaning you have to choose an initiative.”
-Dre “All Day” Baldwin
“You're not going to be for everybody and you don't want to be for everybody. As they say, "When you're trying to be for everybody, you're really for nobody." I would tell a school leader to put yourself out there and how you are. Let the people who want to be with you, let them become your audience. They will identify themselves.”
-Dre “All Day” Baldwin

“Leadership is an extraordinarily lonely endeavor oftentimes. Going through the good times and the bad times you need people that you can call on. It doesn't matter the time of day, they will be there for you and you need to make the call. I would underscore what I've learned so far from those reinvention mandate interviews, nobody should do this work alone. The square squad. Write the name down and call them.”
