The story
From rock bottom to a life of meaning.
Mike Murphy's life reads like a novel. From a restless youth facing multiple arrests, his tenacity carried him to become an acclaimed self-made entrepreneur, building multi-million-dollar businesses in auto and commercial real estate, including nearly two decades as President and Owner of the Oakland Automotive Group.
Then came the love of his life, Margot, and the hardest chapter of all. Through her nine-year battle with cancer, Mike became her caregiver. After losing her in 2011, he did what he'd always done with pain: he turned it into purpose. He founded the Love from Margot Foundation to help women facing advanced cancer, and later built Mountains of Hope, a licensed medical facility in the mountains of Colombia.
“Mike's journey from the troubled young man that he was to the wise and compassionate man that he is will move you to trust the power of love.”

Along the way he wrote three books, hosted 67 episodes of his own podcast, The Power of Your Voice, and became a sought-after voice on manifestation, healing and resilience, with a simple message: no matter where you start, you can create the life you want.
