I found the modern incarnation of Alexander Hamilton. This must be what Dr. Dre felt like when he discovered Eminem. He’ll be interviewed by Tim Ferriss one day, but know that his warm-up was with @Beyond the Uniform.
Michael Muir and I connected via a LinkedIn post. We chatted for 20 minutes, and I knew I had to interview him.
Here’s what you should know about Michael:
- He spent much of his childhood homeless or in foster homes
- He left a full ride to the University of Wisconsin to follow his intuition
- He joined the Marines
- He went to Brown
- He joined Bain & Company
- He works at SVB
- He’s interned at places including HBO, Google, and Deloitte
If I had this story, you couldn’t get me to shut up about it. But despite his incredible accomplishments, Michael is humble, introspective, and honest.
Had I been dealt the same set of cards as Michael, I’m not sure where it would have ended up. But I have a strong suspicion it wouldn’t be Brown, Bain, or SVB.
I hope you enjoy this interview with Michael Muir.
