Hi, Iโm Michele Brissoni ๐ โ Tech Advisor, Fractional CTO, and Board-Level Strategist.
I was born in the beautiful north of Italy ๐ฎ๐น, surrounded by majestic mountains ๐๏ธ that inspired my dreams of exploration from a young age.
Since I was 6yo, while other kids played, I practiced martial arts ๐ฅ and racing ๐๏ธ ๐๏ธ. These quests instilled in me the values of respect and stoicism, which became the foundation for my personal growth and development.
My coaches and mentors helped me navigate the challenges of pursuing my passions while maintaining balance in my life. They guided me to become a coach focused on empowering the new generations to achieve more than I did in life, work, and sport.
Despite my love for sports, I've always had a passion for IT, which has become my true gift. I'm a SW craftsman coach by day, helping individuals and organizations EVOLUTION towards their full potential ๐ฆ. In the evening, I'm a martial arts trainer and a devoted husband and father who finds happiness in sharing my passions with my family.
I believe in the importance of balancing work, family, and personal dreams, which is why I enjoy taking breaks from the world's noise to explore the open road on my motorbike ๐๏ธ or to engage in track-day challenges ๐๏ธ. Whether working, training, coaching, or studying, I always strive to improve and evolve personally and professionally. Reading ๐ is indeed one of my favorite hobbies, and I'm always looking for new books to add to my gigantic collection.
My lifeโs journey has taught me that anything is possible with determination, discipline, and a positive attitude.
I say this because Iโve lived it:
๐ I came back from a coma.
๐ I broke my back, spent months on crutches and in wheelchairs, and stood up again.
๐ I faced cancer twice โ and won both battles.
๐ I endured more than 40 surgeries; my body is full of titanium, yet I still train every day.
๐ I now work alongside the former chief of Slovak special forces to build our own dojo, training people to become stronger in body and mind.
๐ And even when I lost everything โ including those I loved the most โ I never lost my smile, optimism, or positive spirit.
These scars are not signs of defeat. They are proof that resilience, discipline, and optimism can turn the hardest trials into fuel for growth.
And thatโs why I believe: if I can rise, anyone can! ๐
