Most business channels teach you how to grow a company. Very few teach you how to grow the person running it.

I'm J. Michael Fischer Jr., a managing director at DBD Investment Bank, advising founders and family owned businesses through the biggest decisions of their lives: scaling, selling and stepping back. I'm also Vice President of ACG New Jersey, host of the Going Beyond the Deal podcast and author of The 5 Dimensions of Vitality. 

It's what sits underneath the deal. And underneath the life. Six themes anchor everything: personal responsibility, identity before strategy, discipline over motivation, gratitude and perspective, wealth beyond money, and leadership through service. Written in the form I'd want a younger version of myself to have heard.

If you're a founder, builder, or leader who wants more than surface-level success, this is for you.

Let's continue to build something meaningful together.
