He and Diane have also co-authored the widely acclaimed books Think Out of the Box, Break Out of the Box -- Techniques for Achieving Breakthroughs and Raise the Bar -- Creative Strategies to Take Your Business and Personal Life to the Next Level.

"Mike is one of the most creative guys I've met in a long time. He'll take you down new roads, no matter how many you've been down before." -- Walt Disney
