Mike has been in the hypnosis industry for over 40 years, but his interest in hypnotics began at the early age of 12. He shares his insight on the Hypnosis renaissance that is taking the industry by storm, along with his philosophies on training and how to empower your students to utilize the information from your classes and recreate them in their own practices.

We also talk about the business side of the hypnosis industry and even touch on “fringe” topics that may closely relate to the hypnotic world and why he feels it’s important to push boundaries.
