  • Dropping Keys Volume Twenty-Five: Michael Trotta
    Mar 17 2023
    Welcome to Volume 25
    My Dropping Keys co-conspirator is Michael Trotta

    Michael Trotta believes everyone has a genius, and their genius tells a story. Helping others discover what these are is what he does best. His programs offer a perspective-shifting blend of myth and mischief that allows people to reimagine their lives, work, and communities while inviting deep learning, connection, and transformation. When he's not helping others discover what sets them apart, you can find him standing in a river with a fly rod in his hand and a story in his heart.

    In this volume:
    everyone has a genius,
    a place with no right or wrong,
    underlying anger,
    finding the key for yourself
    and
    becoming a fire boy (don't burn the village down).
