Road of Life Podcast Episode 118

Ever feel like your business operations are a chaotic mess, or like you’re trying to build an empire on a shaky foundation?

Meet Michael Rosa. Michael isn’t just an operations executive; he’s a value-creation machine with over 20 years of experience scaling multimillion-dollar companies. But here’s the kicker: he’s also a "kid from Boston" who claims he was "hatched" about a thousand years ago.

In this episode, we sit down with Michael at the (soon-to-be legendary) Road of Life Studios to talk about the intersection of high-level business strategy and the human relationships that make it all worth it. From his grandfather’s powerful influence to his "MGM lion" dreams for our studio, Michael brings a mix of deep wisdom and hilarious personality.

We dive into why mentorship is the ultimate shortcut, how to identify real value in a crowded market, and why your business growth is directly tied to the quality of your connections.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The "Hatched" Philosophy: How Michael’s Boston upbringing and early mentorship shaped his mindset to see opportunities where others see obstacles.

• The ROI of Relationships: Why Michael believes that being a "connector" is the most valuable asset you can have in both business and life.

• Scaling with Certainty: Michael’s tactical approach to operations and why "production value" (in your business and your podcast!) matters more than you think.

• Grandpa’s Gold: The "really cool stories" and life lessons Michael learned from his grandfather that serve as his North Star today.

• The 2026 Vision: A behind-the-scenes look at the future of Road of Life Studios and why we might actually need a roaring lion.

If you want to learn how to manage growth, create massive value, and have a lot of fun while doing it, this conversation with Michael Rosa is exactly what you need.
