Are you an ENTP (the Visionary / Debater / Inventor)?
Tired of arguing with yourself? Bored with ordinary advice? Perfect. Let’s invent something better—together.

- You're amazingly open-minded. You have endless ideas, and you're great at playing devil's advocate (sometimes even just with yourself in your head). You love debate, and it can be hard when you want to argue for fun but other people are offended or misinterpret your intentions.
- You like keeping your options open, and you don't want to have to commit to one single path or task. It can be tough to stick to one of your ideas or projects long enough to actually finish it (either because you're a perfectionist or you just get bored).
- You hate dealing with bureaucracy and logistics. And you feel drained when you're boxed in or bored—when it feels like there's no room for innovation and you're not allowed to fully express your thoughts or explore different approaches or perspectives. The brainstorming phase of a new project is the best, and you'd hate to be brought in afterward and just told to finish setting up the logistics for someone else's ideas.
- You struggle with balancing logic and your subjective perceptions on one hand with other people's feelings and social conventions on the other. This can manifest in a number of ways: You might like messing with people, or you might look down on them; you might be overly concerned with looking good, or you might sacrifice or downplay your own needs/preferences sometimes to care for others (e.g., if you're not sure of your preference and you allow a more decisive person to decide for you).
- You love learning and having interesting conversations that challenge you (in fact, you actually like being proven wrong sometimes because it means the other person made a convincing, novel argument that helps you learn). You tend to speak quickly, think out loud, and enjoy a lively back-and-forth. But, you also really appreciate alone time to read a book, do some writing, or process your ideas. This can make you wonder sometimes if you're actually an introvert (ENTPs are one of the most introverted of the extrovert types).
ENTP Tip #1:
You want to do (and learn) everything, so you have trouble actually finishing anything.
It'll feel counterintuitive, but you need to focus on doing less to enable your ability to do more (yeah, I know you think that expression is trite, but how well is your current approach working out for you?).
Practice intentionally limiting your choices by removing options and distractions (for example, decide that when you get home from work, you're only allowed to do either A, B, or C).
ENTP Tip #2:
To mature your Ti function, practice zooming out.
Instead of focusing on the details of the arguments, logically examine the entire debate. Is the debate itself actually helping in this situation? Will proving this person wrong actually be beneficial?
Does this person actually want you to solve their problem for them? (P.S. It's possible to be radically honest and kind at the same time. Yes, even for ENTP's.)

Ok, you found your type. Now what? Turn insight into action and get more of the life you want.
Think back to when you decided to take my personality test (or whatever you were looking for when you found your way here).
On the surface, you might have just been curious what type you would get. But I'm betting there was a reason underneath that:
You want to shift something in your life.
Deep down, you know that more is possible for you.
It's hard for you to make decisions—even ones that should be simple.
How would your life be different if you could transform…
From:
- Coming up with all sorts of ideas but never actually finishing them
- Procrastination, low energy, and trouble with time management
- Struggling to choose a career, or working a job that's "ok" but definitely not making the kind of impact you want to be in the world
To:
- Clarity on where to best spend your energy, which ideas to focus on, and what you really want
- Waking up energized, and feeling consistent motivation to take action on your ideas
- Working on projects that deeply fulfill you, and not having to dread going to work
You feel depressed or nihilistic, like there's a void of meaning in your life.
How would it feel to go…
From:
- Wondering if other people are as happy as they seem to be, and feeling anxious when it seems like you're wasting your life
- Feeling micromanaged, or like you have to adhere to rules, policies, or schedules that don't make sense
- Struggling with a sense of emptiness, like you're just covering up a gaping hole with short-term fixes
To:
- Feeling alive and excited, like you have something obvious worth living for
- Being in control of your life, owning your own schedule, and maybe even achieving financial independence
- Living deeply in line with your values, feeling clear on your life purpose, and spending your time and energy in a way that feels meaningful
You want deeper relationships that intrigue and fulfill you.
What would it be worth to shift…
From:
- Loneliness, struggling to make friends as an adult, and feeling stuck in boring small talk and shallow relationships
- Enjoying debate and giving advice but feeling like people don't want your help or see you as combative when you're just trying to offer value
- Feeling some weirdness in social situations—a strange pendulum between loud arrogant attention-seeking and lonely worrying too much what others think of you
To:
- Finding an awesome romantic partner, making deep friendships, and having stimulating conversations
- Feeling like you're truly helping people, and like you're able to do something tangible and beneficial with all that knowledge you have
- Experiencing a profound sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and self-love
" I was very impressed by the way you took all those complex topics I threw at you and quickly offered me some valuable unexpected advice.
I’ve never tried coaching before, and this wasn’t any kind of weird pitch. I’m usually really hard to convince of things, but I’m very curious to keep coaching with you. "

This self-paced course for 'N' types will help you overcome "analysis paralysis"— making decisions big and small with confident ease instead of overwhelm and regret.
Thanks to Michael, I finally decided to quit the job I've felt stuck in. I feel so excited for what's next for me, and I know I wouldn't have been able to make this decision without his strategies.

Stop dreading Mondays. This is the ultimate guide to help 'N' types find a life path that makes you excited to get out of bed (even if you're multi-passionate & indecisive).

I'm Michael, a coach who helps fellow ENTP's transform

I spent most of my 20's and early 30's waiting for my "real life" to start.
I felt like I was treading water—I had endless ideas, and I knew I was capable of a lot. But I kept getting bored and moving on to the next possibility instead of actually finishing anything and making the impact I wanted to make on the world.
I had been completely stuck in my head and out of touch with my feelings and needs. I knew that I hated surface-level conversations, but I didn't understand how to create something different. So, I ended up just judging other people as shallow or simple-minded, and I felt disconnected and lonely.
I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I devoted three years to pushing myself outside my comfort zone to transform my life. I learned a lot about creating consistent motivation, making decisions, and leading a life I was excited about.
I created my life purpose, made some dramatic changes to myself and my lifestyle, and began following through on the ideas I was most excited about. Through all that, I finally began to understand what self-love and authentic aliveness feel like.
I'd like to help you feel that too.
What do the top people in every field have in common?
I've worked with Fortune 500 leaders, an Academy Award-winning director, a Mount Everest record holder, and some of the most famous video game designers in the industry.
And I'd like to share a secret with you:
The most successful people get help when they're struggling.
They might look perfect on the outside, but I've seen firsthand that they're grappling with their own challenges—from self-doubt and impostor syndrome to depression and anxiety.
They still hit barriers that they have trouble getting past on their own. And top performers know that they need to put the oxygen mask on themselves first before they're able to most effectively help others.
Just like star athletes benefit from coaching, the top people in every field hire experts to help them improve.
I'd like to help you too.
I understand what you're going through
I'm an ENTP too, and I struggled for years with different coaches and therapists.
I can honestly tell you that the one coach who made by far the biggest impact on my life was a fellow ENTP.
She spoke my language, saw me in a way that few others ever had in my life, and challenged me to shift beliefs that had held me back for a decade.
It was like a set of dominoes—those coaching sessions eventually set into motion dramatic shifts in virtually every aspect of my life.

I’ve coached hundreds of people across 6 continents
- Fortune 500 leaders
- Entrepreneurs & founders
- Influencers with millions of followers
- Students
- People who felt totally stuck or unclear
I'd like to earn your trust, as I have with these ENTPs:

Oh my God, you might have just changed my life. I’ve been struggling for so long with trying to make close friends and wondering if I’m being too picky, but you just cracked the code for me.
I’d never seen it this way before, and this is going to change everything for me.
I was very impressed by the way you took all those complex topics I threw at you and quickly offered me some valuable unexpected advice.
I’ve never tried coaching before, and this wasn’t any kind of weird pitch. I’m usually really hard to convince of things, but I’m very curious to keep coaching with you.
Michael's program felt very much like Jedi training on Dagobah with Master Yoda.
Working with Michael has been a transformative experience that I am deeply grateful for. He created a safe and welcoming space to explore some of the most vulnerable parts of myself and helped me connect more deeply with my body, emotions, and inner world.
As an ENTP, he helped me understand my strengths and growth areas in a deeply personalized way, showing how my natural tendency to innovate and see the bigger picture can guide me out of stress while encouraging me to let go of limiting beliefs.
His wisdom about balancing structure with flexibility and releasing old coping mechanisms resonated deeply.
Above all, Michael encouraged me to embrace my authentic self… I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone seeking a compassionate and insightful guide for their personal journey (especially ENTPs).
Damn, I left our first sample session thinking, ‘this dude broke me in just 30 minutes.’ I'm hard to impress, and I want more. You call me on my BS like no therapist ever has.
I feel I have been heard. Michael is truly open minded. His responses were for me specifically and not just for all *NTPs.
He has been a genuine and honest set of bricks to start building a foundation with. He conveys positive messages in a way that makes me consider them deeply.
I could walk away from working with him at any point and feel accomplished and sated, but I don't because every session has proven useful.
The insights and ideas we shared together took me from a very restless and uncertain Point A, to the trail with a map and the makings of a plan, to a Point B that aligns with my values and needs.
Interested in coaching that's customized for YOUR type of mind?
Here's How This Works:
I've put a lot of thought into the most logical, fair, and ethical way to price my services.
Conversations about money tend to bring out a lot of feelings (on both sides), and I want to approach that complexity with the nuance and care it deserves.
So, this will require just a little more work to understand than "pay me $X."
(If you're curious, I wrote a whole philosophical article where I break down in detail how I arrived at this set of policies.)

My Model:
You first sample session is free and no-risk
I’d like to build a fruitful, ongoing relationship with you. So, let’s make sure we’re the right fit. Many other coaches focus the first call on sales and logistics, but I’ll instead offer you a real sample of my coaching. Let’s explore an actual challenge you’re facing in your life.
Commit to 2-4 sessions per month
Seeing each other less often slows progress and means more time spent on life updates instead of transformation. Scheduling is flexible. At the end of each session, we open our calendars and find the next time that works for both of us (or, we can pick a regular weekly/bi-weekly time).
You're in charge—you're not locked into anything
Most coaches require signing up for expensive package deals. But one of my core values is freedom, so I want to offer that to you: Pay for sessions one at a time and stop whenever you like.
I use a sliding scale (i.e., variable pricing)
I offer the same service at multiple price points based on need (honor system, no proof required). This allows me to offer lower-priced coaching to people who couldn't otherwise afford it.
Most importantly, let’s be real with each other
I’m not a faceless corporation, and you’re a unique, complex human. If you’re not sure where you fall on my sliding scale, let’s have an authentic conversation about what you can afford that’s fair to both of us. It's not you vs. me, but us figuring this out together as a team.

My Sliding Scale:
I serve a variety of people, including groups who have historically had less access to coaching due to systemic oppression.
Many of my clients identify as LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent, and 43% are people of color.
This is my primary source of income, so I aim to provide access while also running a sustainable business.
Please do your own research if you'd like a comparison for coaching rates.
But I can tell you that $200-500 USD per session is a common price charged by my peers with similar experience and credentials.
What You Get By Working With Me:
- I'll start off by sending you a detailed questionnaire. It'll help me get to know you and support you in getting crystal clear on your goals for coaching.
- This isn't one-size-fits-all. I'll customize my coaching style based on your personality type (I have expertise in several powerful typing systems).
- We'll co-create a unique personal growth trajectory just for you. I'll bring in techniques from Co-Active coaching, Hakomi counseling, Positive Intelligence coaching, Zen Buddhism, or whatever is most appropriate for your specific challenges.
- You'll get access to me via email between sessions (e.g., if you'd like me to review your resume or answer a time-sensitive question). And, as we work together, I might share worksheets, articles, or podcasts that make me think of you.
- P.S. Want to get a sense of what I sound like? Here are a few of my YouTube videos I like: (a) introducing myself, (b) purposefully discarding thoughts, (c) processing big emotions, and (d) cultivating fragile feelings,
