Michael Jenet Author | Publisher Leadership Wizard
Michael Jenet is an ordinary man with extraordinary insight. A self described “recovering corporate ceo” , he has studied the human condition for over thirty years, read countless volumes from classic authors of every spectrum of the personal achievement genre. He has researched each nuance of what makes some people successful and keeps others from succeeding.
Born in Belgium, raised in the Midwest United States, an 8-year Veteran of the US Air Force, and now living in Colorado, he has spent a lifetime following his dreams and passion for helping others. A TEDx Speaker, CEO in both the for-profit, and not-for-profit sectors, he has been a coach, mentor, a guest lecturer to entrepreneurs. His first book, ASK, won the International Book Award Finalist in the self-help category.
The principles he reveals in ASK: The Questions to Empower Your Life inspire and engage his audiences to think differently and thus change their outcomes to live better, more fulfilling lives, and reach their dreams and goals at every level.
Having been the victim of ‘predatory publishing’ himself, he began researching the publishing industry and did not like what he saw. Continuing the work with his wife from the 50 in 52 Journey and its mission, together they created a non-profit publishing house specifically to flip the publishing model. Journey Institute Press was formed to focus on the author not the publisher and use traditional non-profit fundraising as the mechanism to make this happen.
Journey Institute Press is now the focus of Michael’s work as he endeavors to give authors the tools, resources, and support they need to be successful and help tell the stories that otherwise would not be told.
His latest book, A Better Life, tells the story of an ordinary man yearning to follow his dream and the struggles he faces along the way. Along with the story are life-changing principles to help readers take control of their lives and move towards a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience; in short, a better life. It’s a story of risks, dreams, hope, and triumph.
When he is not working on his next book he is working with his wife in the company they co-founded, The Journey Institute, and curating TEDx events via their TED licensed TEDx Cherry Creek.
He lives with his family in Colorado.
