Get ready to be inspired by the incredible journey of Michelle Reeves, a true innovator and entrepreneur who mastered the art of betting on herself. In this episode, we explore Michelle’s path from humble beginnings in Australia to becoming a wine and tech trailblazer in the US.

Michelle shares about her early career moves, including her bold decision to relocate to New York City just before 9/11. She discusses how she leveraged her savings to take calculated risks, from launching a pioneering online wine business to making her first angel investments and real estate purchases in her early 30s.

Perhaps what has had the biggest impact on her career so far has been understanding that nobody can be truly self-made. It takes a village — whether family, friends, or mentors — to help build you up and lay the path for future success.

Michelle’s story serves as inspiration to take big risks and advocate for yourself to make things happen for you. It’s not just about the number in your bank account, but the positive impact that you make on others’ lives along the way.
