Success can often be judged as pre-ordained or “who you know” or about money or good luck or simple fate.
That debilitating and defeatist worldview can be challenged. Maybe hard work,
perseverance, taking risks, and making your own luck can be equally powerful,
The power of true life stories in all their rich detail of success and setbacks can provide a positive framework and instructive lessons for those facing challenges and scary opportunities.

Michael is The Blackboard Artist. His story is a fascinating case of keeping the faith with your inner calling and actively spotting that all important first break. In 2013, while working in hospitality, Michael practiced working on blackboards in-between shifts. Following his passion and perfecting his craft, he soon caught the attention of local businesses, restaurants and street food stalls.
After gaining experience, Michael was given the opportunity to work for high-profile individuals as well as being taken on as Soho House’s main sign-writer in the UK. This achievement led to a unique large-scale project for Soho Farmhouse, where he painted every sign.
Michael’s skill has not gone unnoticed, having been featured in 3 books – Art Class: Hand Lettering, V&A A Maker’s Guide: Calligraphy & Lettering, and Soho House: Morning Noon Night – as well as having work featured in a Walker’s TV advert. He also teaches regular workshops to pass on his knowledge and skills.
