So, he followed his gut and traveled the world with his family. Now a host and talent coach, Michael hosts the podcast, &quot;Your Podcast Coach&quot;  and shares with us the importance of taking time for yourself after you swan dive ... and how equally important it was to set an example for his kids.  </p><p>Share your Swan Dive at www.swandive.us</p>

Now in its 56th year, with over 100 episodes, Swan Dive features inspiring people who had the clarity and courage to pivot in life to chase their dreams. Hosts and life-long friends, Ron Rothberg and Stu Sheldon, both made massive swan dives from successful careers in media and finance to the unknowns of content creation and fine art. Through failures and successes, both eventually found the soul satisfaction of becoming "who they wanted to be when they grew up." Their joyous insight graces each conversation with guests that include: legendary musical artists, National Geographic photographers, social justice warriors, clergy, journalists ... even Africa's first black, female brain surgeon. Each guest opens up about their unique emotional journey, their fear of the unknown, the grind of starting a new path and, hopefully, the world's embrace on the road to their most authentic selves. Vulnerability, laughter and inspiration abound. Hopefully, you'll find comfort and kinship in your own big pivot, whether you've made it yet or not.
