Have Magic on your show.
Michael "Magic" Morgan founded Magical Journey Network at 69 to make one thing true: no one should walk the road alone. He talks about second acts, the power of a simple hello, and what thirteen years of showing up for others teaches you.
A salesman who learned the real magic is between people.
Michael Morgan spent most of his working life in sales, where he learned to listen, to read people, to handle rejection and to keep showing up when the numbers were not on his side. His team at a car dealership nicknamed him Magic because his sales were through the roof. The name stuck.
Thirteen years in mentorship and recovery communities, including Celebrate Recovery, shifted his idea of leadership from performance to responsibility. At 69 he founded Magical Journey Network as a call to action: find a mentor, become one, and never walk the road alone.
Today he is the first to say the real magic is what happens between people. He talks to everyone, on beaches, in airports and at the next table over.
