The Young ExeKutive Carl Michel, is a best-selling author, philanthropist, mentor, and entrepreneur, who is on a mission to shift the mindset of the youth toward a brighter direction. Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and raised in an underprivileged area of Stamford, Connecticut, Carl understands what it is like to lack some of life's basic necessities. His environment quickly introduced him to the street life, hip-hop music, and other influences associated with urban culture. In his teenage years, Carl found himself exposed to all the things he was raised to avoid: sex, drugs, under-age drinking, and even gang violence. It wasn't until he found a business mentor and grew a close relationship with God that his life started to change for the better. Today Carl uses the life lessons he learned in the streets and in the boardroom to encourage individuals to overcome their circumstances, choose the right circle of influences, and understand their self-worth. Carl is completely transparent about his story, and creatively uses the positive aspects of hip-hop music to promote a philosophy of faith, family and finances. See less
