ABOUT
Michael Lee Simpson is an artist who tells stories through a variety of mediums. By facilitating honest conversations with extraordinary people, he draws back the curtain on the inner workings of their success in the entertainment we admire. He has interviewed 1,000+ 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 of storytelling, he created the Inspired Minds podcast as a platform for gifted professionals to shed light on their experiences.
Today, Michael applies that same expertise as a communications strategist. He works with C-suite executives, founders, and public figures to develop their messaging, sharpen their narrative, and communicate with authority — in the media, in the market, and in the room.
"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
