Michael Erickson
Host
I am a husband and father, the Lead Pastor of Cornerstone Foursquare Church, Health & Wellness Director of a YMCA in Missouri, Life Coach, and Certified Personal Trainer. My family spent over 13 years in the Philippines as missionaries, and all of my three children were born there.
I love helping people achieve their goals.
One of my missions in life is to help others overcome barriers and reach their full potential. At 19 years old I was 350 pounds, I couldn't run or even walk right. This caused both of my feet to fracture, as well as some lingering problems in my knees and joints. However, I was determined to live life to the fullest so I lost 130 lbs, I work out at least 5 times a week, and I love playing basketball. My journey wasn't easy, and it took several years to get where I am today, but it is worth it. Each and every step, worth it.
