About
My entrepreneurship journey began with one simple decision: to get healthy. It was a simple decision to make, because I was 300 pounds and struggling to find the energy to work and to see my own future. That’s how I ended up co-founding Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods in 1998, and beginning my journey to dedicate over 25 years of my life to studying and practicing natural health & entrepreneurship. After serving as Chairman of the Board and CEO until 2016, I helped guide the 9-figure strategic sale of the company to Tilray in 2019. Since then, my life’s purpose is celebrating and supporting sustainable, health-giving, and kind business ventures as an entrepreneur, investor, advisor and mentor. Currently, I am Chief Executive Officer of Fata & Associates, a best selling author, a keynote speaker, host of Founder to Mentor podcast, 9 Figure Growth Coach, Global Growth Advisor of Mid-Day Squares, Chairman of the Board of Nuts for Cheese, Lifetime member (Past Chairman) of the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA), Lifetime member (Past Chairman) of Young Presidents Organization (YPO Manitoba) and investor/advisor to a portfolio of companies.

Mike was INCREDIBLE. He took the time before our session to read my objectives and familiarize himself with my company and goals - something I haven't had a mentor do in the past. He was extremely generous, provided tangible steps for growth and was my favourite session to-date on Mentorpass. I left with lots of actionable steps, a list of resources and a clear path on how to move next. I highly recommend Mike!!

Conversation was Mike was excellent. His wealth of experience allows him to give in-depth, clear-cut insight on essentially anything you ask that's biz related. We spoke about the acquisition of my biz and he went above and beyond to share with me some additional resources. He didn't have to, but he did. Will book a follow-up session in a couple of weeks.
