Mike Pullman is a passionate speaker and advocate for youth empowerment, driven by a mission to help students make positive choices and live a life of purpose. As a devoted father of five and proud grandfather of ten, Mike’s heart for family fuels his desire to guide the next generation.

Mike’s journey has been shaped by both his own struggles and heartbreaking loss. As a teen, his own bad choices nearly led him down the wrong path, but he was fortunate to turn his life around. Recently, he experienced the devastating loss of his son—not to drugs, but to losing his way. In the aftermath of this tragedy, Mike sought to understand what went wrong. His search opened his eyes to a painful reality: countless young people today feel lost and without direction, leading many to make destructive choices, including falling into addiction.

Through his research, Mike discovered a common thread: a lack of purpose. Determined to take action, he partnered with Steered Straight, a nationally recognized organization dedicated to youth prevention and intervention. Together, they work to bring awareness to the issues facing today’s kids and empower them to make better choices.

Mike travels across the United States, sharing his story with students and parents, covering topics such as addiction, self-confidence, character development, and the importance of making positive decisions. His powerful message resonates deeply, as he challenges his audience to recognize their value, find their purpose, and create their own meaningful story.

Additionally, through his book on the vaping epidemic in high schools, Mike educates students and parents about the dangers of addiction and the power of making informed decisions with confidence.

Mike’s mission is simple yet profound: Having a Purpose in Life – Be the author of own Your Story. With honesty, compassion, and wisdom, he motivates students to take ownership of their choices, overcome obstacles, and build a life of meaning and impact.
