EP#2 Use Dreams as a lifeline – Entrepreneur, Author and Sailor - Michael Ditton

In today's episode of Abundance in Action Podcast, Crystal Ra interviews Michael Ditton on how a young boy who started his first business of selling fresh vegetables door to door from his little red wagon as a 8 year old entrepreneur, to creating a path running his first hamburger stand at 14, going from a shift supervisor to assistant manager in the pizza business between the ages of 17 to 19, entered the military at 18 where he served 20 years in active and reserve status, and bought his first home at the age of 20. His whole life he turned adversity into his life's university filled with life lessons which he overcame one by one.

In 1991 returning home after 7 months of active duty during the war, mentally and financially bankrupt, no work, no hope of work, divorced, having lost everything and being denied support after serving his county, to finding his way back to ultimately realize his goals and live his dreams. How he owned and operated 5 companies at the same time and one day he sold everything, jumped on his 45-foot sailboat, headed out of the harbor, hung a left for the destinations unknown living the life others only dream of, only to have adversity challenge him again 9 years later. It was the break up and divorce from his second wife of 23 years that brought him back to Mexico where he “accidentally” met Crystal Ra.

A new chapter was created with several adventures from Alaska, Mexico, Estonia, England and ultimately moving to Hawaii. Michael is now living a new dream with his beautiful Estonian wife, Crystal Ra, in San Diego California, serving others around the world and welcomes new opportunities and expansions. He has too much love and too much goodness to keep to himself, so this is why many new projects are created in order to share it all with the world!
