Michael Easter
I’ve made a career of traveling the world to uncover practical ideas that help people live healthier, happier, and more remarkable lives. My research has taken me everywhere – from war zones to the Arctic to the Bolivian jungle.
My goal has always been to take these insights from the edge and make them accessible and actionable for readers. I’ve achieved this by publishing my findings in my books, including the New York Times bestseller Scarcity Brain, and The Comfort Crisis. Now, I want to take the next step and show people these skills in person.

Mike Moreno, with a rich background as a CIA Operations Officer, brings over a decade of experience from the Middle East, primarily during Iraq’s peak conflict years. Transitioning from high-stakes intelligence gathering to supporting technology startups, Moreno embodies a unique blend of survival skills honed in “kinetic environments.”
His expertise is not just in acquiring information but in ensuring survival when circumstances turn dire. Moreno’s approach to teaching survival skills is pragmatic and rooted in the reality that while these skills may seldom be used, they become life-saving when needed.
