What is Michael Chernow's approach to personal growth and how does it relate to his past trauma?

Michael Chernow embraces a warrior mindset, intentionally running toward difficult challenges as opportunities for growth. When facing hard situations, he finds himself in a vulnerable state that allows for deeper introspection and personal development. This approach is partly rooted in his history of having a violent, abusive relationship with his father, which motivated him to seek father figures elsewhere. Despite his successful life as a businessman with a decades-long marriage and two children, Chernow participated in the Modern Day Knights program in 2022 as a physical challenge to address unresolved trauma and continue his journey of personal transformation.
