In this episode of Within Reach, Giuliana Pallotta sits down with Michael Peres — a serial entrepreneur, journalist, and founder of multiple tech startups — for a compelling conversation about forging your own path, overcoming adversity, and thriving by going against the grain. From growing up in an ultra-Orthodox community with ADHD and learning disabilities to building media companies and tech ventures, Michael shares how he turned disadvantage into a superpower. He offers a bold, transparent perspective on entrepreneurship, the power of exponential growth, and why the real risk lies in staying safe. Whether you’re building a business, pivoting careers, or simply seeking clarity, this conversation will remind you that greatness is always within reach — if you’re willing to embrace discomfort and bet on yourself.
