a life's manifesto
Somewhere between a bourbon distillery in Kentucky and a street food stall in Tokyo, Michael Motamedi figured out what matters most.
"All the while staying true and committed to living every day to the fullest."

the foundation
"Live fully, create fearlessly."
the story behind it
Michael's philosophy was not written in a boardroom. It was forged in the kitchens of MasterChef Canada, in the bourbon barrels of Louisville, in the streets of Tokyo, and in the quiet moments watching his daughter discover the world for the first time.
He studied philosophy at York University, preparing for a career in law. But life had other plans. The entrepreneurial spirit that had always simmered beneath the surface took hold, and Michael realised that the greatest philosophy is not one you study, it is one you live.
From fashion to food, bourbon to real estate, and now global content creation, every chapter of Michael's life has been guided by a single north star: stay true to yourself, and commit fully to whatever you do.
