ABOUT
Michael Lee Simpson draws out honest conversations with extraordinary people, pulling back the curtain on the inner workings of their success. He has interviewed 2,000+ remarkable talents as a journalist, ranging from Golden Globe and Oscar winners, studio executives, actors, musicians, entrepreneurs, A-list producers, and directors to screenwriters and bestselling authors.
With a wheelhouse expanding into other avenues, he created the Inspired Minds podcast as a platform for gifted professionals to shed light on their experiences, and now applies that same insight as a Communications Strategist. That work spans Media Training & Executive Coaching, Messaging, Narrative & Brand Strategy, Fractional PR, Crisis Communications, Ghostwriting, Web Design, and Podcast & Multimedia Show Development, helping executives, founders, and public figures tell their own stories with the same clarity he once drew from others.
"Michael's insights go beyond a journalist's eye. One of his most exemplary skills as an interviewer is his ability to communicate. The integrity of his pieces shines a bright light onto an often dark world."
—DIANA OSSANA, bestselling author, Oscar-winning screenwriter, PRETTY BOY FLOYD, ZEKE AND NED, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
"Michael is a joy to talk to, which makes his interviews feel less like cross-examinations than chats with a friend. He excavates choice quotes from his subjects that make his articles engrossing, concise, and a joy to read."
—ANDREW JAY COHEN, producer, screenwriter, THE 40-YEAR-OLD-VIRGIN, TALLADEGA NIGHTS, NEIGHBORS, MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES
