We had the good fortune of connecting with Michael McVicker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michael, what do you attribute your success to?
In my podcast, ‘Mr. Positivity,’ every installment is a source of enlightening viewpoints, uplifting narratives, and actionable guidance. The result is a revitalized sense of hope and motivation for our audience. The resonant tagline, ‘Staaay Positive!,’ reverberates within the hearts of those who tune in, serving as a beacon for embracing a life filled with positivity. You can stream the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and many more!

What should our readers know about your business?
My entry into this world was nothing short of a miracle. The medical professionals at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center had given up hope for my survival at birth due to a severe heart enlargement. Just moments after my birth, my tongue and eyes rolled back, and my complexion turned as pale as a sheet – it seemed as though there was no chance. All the doctors and nurses could do was closely watch and observe. Fortunately, I had parents who prayed fervently, believing in God. Within a matter of hours, the situation took a positive turn, and I earned the nickname ‘Miracle Mike.’

On another occasion, a near-fatal car accident occurred when my vehicle was struck by a drunk driver, resulting in the total loss of my car. During the accident, my gas tank scraped against a concrete culvert, a situation that had the potential to be catastrophic.

Throughout the ups and downs that life inevitably throws our way, I’ve come to recognize the importance of maintaining a positive outlook. This perspective has led to my nickname, ‘Mr. Positivity.’

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

Among the top spots, Sunset Tower is an absolute must-visit. I also thoroughly enjoy attending conferences and spending time at the beach – it’s a fantastic place to embrace positivity.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
In the 1990s, I served as the President and Founder of the ‘Celebrate the Child’ organization. We were able to bless over 17,500 less fortunate children in the Tri-State area of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana through our Back-to-School and Christmas drives! I’m also a licensed minister, success coach, mentor, inspirational speaker, and publisher. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Christian Theology from Life Christian University in Tampa, Florida. My passion lies in connecting with, encouraging, and investing in people from various walks of life. This passion inspired me to create the ‘Mr. Positivity’ podcast and to offer powerful, heartfelt techniques through principle-based coaching.
