Over the last year, many of you have gotten to know Myke Metzger through Vera House — the conversations, the stories, the opinions, the occasional rant, and the perspective he brings to the table each week.

But this episode is different.

Today, we sit down to tell Myke’s story.

From growing up between New York, Virginia and Florida, dealing with a rare skin condition, getting expelled from school, spending time in jail, and hitting rock bottom, to building multiple businesses, overcoming over $250K in tax debt, writing for Forbes, publishing a book, speaking on stages, growing an audience of hundreds of thousands, and ultimately launching Vera House — this is a conversation about reinvention.

This is a conversation about resilience, responsibility, second chances, and the reality that your life can change dramatically when you decide to change yourself.

This is The Art of Reinvention.
