MICHAEL G. DASH is an entrepreneur, best selling author of Chasing The High, recovering addict, community leader, speaker and philanthropist. After a six year lawsuit with a former business partner, he sold his recruiting company of 11 years in 2018.

Having been disconnected from his soul's purpose and passion, Michael started attending both business and personal development retreats first embracing their impact on him and then studying the power they have on others.  Having experienced over 20 retreats over four continents, Michael knew his life work was helping leaders reconnect with themselves and their mission.  He started the Live Life Activated retreats in 2019 bringing in world expert facilitators, who impacted his transformation, to create a game changing experience.

Along the way Michael developed numerous tools diving into personal values, mission, alignment and habits focusing on the four main areas of practice that helped him turn his life around: Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual.  This crafted the Live Life Activated retreats which are transforming people's lives.

In Michael's spare time he has raised over $100,000 for the Leukemia, Lymphoma Society while running four marathons and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.  He also has dedicated time to volunteering in maximum security prisons teaching heart lead entrepreneurship and giving hope to the otherwise hopeless.  

Michael co-founded the Activated.Life movement, focused on inspiring a culture of positivity, authenticity, passion, empathy, and resilience while giving back to others. He also founded F.A.T.E. From Addict To Entreprenuer and interview series of former addicts who are now successful entrepreneurs aroudn the world. He is passionate about leading retreats and cultivating life shifting experiences.
