He cleaned gym pools as a broke teenager growing up in a gang-torn neighborhood, & today he owns World Gym International , the publicly traded fitness empire behind hundreds of locations across Asia. Michael breaks down the \"Elevator Effect,\" his mindset system for refusing to settle on the wrong floor in life.
