Mike McFall doesn’t have an MBA. He’s not a workaholic. He expects to be a billionaire, and one day own the Detroit Red Wings, his hometown hockey team.  His secret is building a foundation of love within his organization.

He’s the co-founder and co-CEO of BIGGBY® COFFEE, an ultra-fast-growing coffee franchise with over 350 locations in the U.S. and a completely revolutionary company culture.

But it wasn’t always that way. The faster BIGGBY® grew, the more employee morale plummeted. It wasn’t until BIGGBY® revolutionized its approach to its people that the company went from being just a company to a place where superheroes are made. It became a place to love, lead, and grow.

And BIGGBY®’s growth shows the power of this transition. Through the company’s incredible journey — documented in his well-regarded books Grow and Grind — Mike understands that people are the most important ingredient to any successful enterprise. That’s why he doesn’t just offer a better business plan. He helps employers and leaders create a purpose-driven business that is human centered, that will improve people’s lives, transform the world, and power company growth.

When not standing on a keynote stage or working on the third book in his series, Mike can be found playing beer league hockey or spending time with his wife and four children at home in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
