The Team Of Advisors Working With Michael Vizdos
The evolving list of professional advisors, collaborators, and colleagues Michael Vizdos leans on — nobody on this list works for him.
The way we worked “before times” is never coming back. Let’s harness this shift as an opportunity to do this work in a different way and learn more about the team.
My name is Michael Vizdos and I’ve been privileged to serve clients in various professional capacities for over 35 years. One of the main things I’ve learned is that I am only effective delivering incredible outcomes with clients by surrounding myself with a team of professionals.
Some people may call this group advisors, a squad, friends, mentors, misfits, colleagues, trusted sources, or even “competitors.” For me, people on this team are all about collaboration and keeping one another grounded. They are my “go-to” people when I am stuck and need help. We check in regularly and collaborate — some of them have never met the others yet.
Nobody on this list works for me — and yes, sometimes we are in “competition.” I am sharing this list because this is the crew I call. If you and I work together, these are people we can both lean on for professional assistance.
