Michael MarrSix-year-old Michael first learned about democracy and activism from his mother in 1972 while she was meeting with a Senator to fight for equal rights for women. As he gazed upward in awe at the top of the State Capitol, he asked his mother, "Who own this beautiful home"? His mother squatted down, looked him in the eye, and said, "The people do, but you have to fight for it sometimes".She didn't know it yet, but that short conversation fueled the activist within him. Mike earned early professional success as a Leadership and Development Coach and Master Trainer in the Tech field. He has a master's degree in leadership and is certified in NLP and Conflict Management. Mike has helped hundreds of clients improve their lives in his Conflict Transformation and Leadership Training Workshops. He is a passionate advocate for helping our newest voting generations strengthen democracy. He volunteers at local charities and began a unique program that brings together Republicans and Democrats at food shelters to help them see each other as humans with a shared purpose. His love of history led him to the new field of Revolution Science, which attempts to predict where revolutions and other political changes will occur in the world based on elements that have appeared in other uprisings. When Michael isn't writing, he spends time traveling the world with his wife and stubborn, but lovable, Jack Russell Terrier named Little Jack. Read More Read Less
