Q: Who is John Michailidis, and what qualifies him as an expert author, coach, trainer, business consultant, and public speaker?A: John A. Michailidis, Esq. (sounds fancy) is a speaker, author, coach and consultant who graduated from one of the top ten law schools in the world (Northwestern University School of Law) where he concentrated his studies on business transactions and real estate. He also holds an undergraduate degree in free market economics from UNLV, where he studied under Murray Rothbard, contemporary and colleague of Ayn Rand and Alan Greenspan. John is an odd sort of bird (in a good way) who has "gone his own way" for most of his life, eschewing the "boxes" that society likes to place people into, and favoring an "exploratory approach" to life and living. Though highly educated, John did things his own way. He moved out of his parent's home at 17 years of age and eventually got around to graduating from college just before his 30th birthday. At 35 he decided that if he was going to live in a world ruled by lawyers it might be a good thing to figure out what it was that lawyers actually did — unlike everybody else though, law school wasn't a "job program" for him, but an intellectual exercise he embarked upon to satisfy his curiosity. From the time he left home to fend for himself, he was out living life, gathering experiences, and formulating his views on what it means to be a "sovereign individual" in a world of "labels" and pre-formulated "career paths." Some of John's eclectic and life informing experiences (in no particular order) include: * Elections judge. * Pot washer. * College instructor. * Renowned author. * Bartender. * I.R.S. Tax examiner. * Business consultant. * Security guard. * Association arbitrator. * Nightclub manager. * Mail-order marketer. * 82nd Airborne Division paratrooper. * Little league coach. * Martial arts competitor. * Public speaker. * Real estate broker. * Nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare advisor. * Walgreens manager. * Door-to-door salesman. * Publisher. * Waiter. * Assistant Designated Primary Market Maker (Chicago Board Options Exchange). * Janitor. * Fundraiser. * Fire-walker. * Attorney. John knows people and business inside and out. Certainly not conventional, his many and varied life experiences (he has also traveled and lived throughout the United States and Europe) give him a unique perspective and the ability to relate to, bond with, counsel, and coach people from all walks of life, and in all fields of endeavour. John can relate, because he has lived the life of the people he works with and he knows what makes them tick. In spite of his broad array of skills and depth of knowledge, from boardroom to barroom, John is just one of the guys. Contact John at WelathLoop.com.
