Work With Mike
I work with entrepreneurs, corporates, and media who want authentic insight into building businesses while managing serious mental health challenges. No corporate jargon. No inspiration porn. Just real talk.
I also run Glide Marketing, a web design and SEO agency in Chelmsford, Essex. If you need help with your website or search rankings, that's where to go.
Speaking Engagements
I speak at corporate events, entrepreneurship conferences, educational institutions, and mental health organisations. My talks are direct, honest, and grounded in real experience — not theory.
Topics I cover:
- Building businesses with bipolar disorder
- Preventing entrepreneurial burnout
- Mental health in the workplace
- Psychosis and recovery: a first-hand account
- Resilience and business success
“Glide were great to work with from start to finish. I would highly recommend for any web design and SEO requirements you have. Very professional and dynamic in the way they work.”
