Michael Alexander doesn’t talk about reinvention as an abstract concept. For him, it’s a lived reality. At 49, he’s built a career that spans sports, business, and personal development, all tied together by a philosophy that turns challenges into opportunities. Whether in a commentary booth, behind the scenes of a business venture, or mentoring others, Alexander brings a mindset rooted in resilience and action.

“My life hasn’t followed a straight line,” he says. “But that’s what makes it interesting. Every challenge has been a chance to rethink, rebuild, and move forward.”

At 33, Alexander faced one of the biggest challenges of his life. After serving 33 months in prison, he stepped out into an uncertain future with nothing to his name. Starting over was the only way forward. So, through disciplined effort and a commitment to focusing on what he could control, he began the process of rebuilding.

“It was about taking the next step,” Alexander explains. “Even when things felt impossible, there was always something I could do. That’s how I kept moving forward.”

Over time, that philosophy became the foundation for success across a range of fields. In the world of sports, Alexander established himself as a trusted voice. His post-fight interviews, known for their genuine connection with athletes, have gone viral and earned millions of views.

Beyond the commentary booth, his ability to adapt and innovate has defined his work as an entrepreneur. As a real estate investor, Alexander has built projects that balance vision and practicality. His ventures reflect a commitment to problem-solving and creating spaces that bring people together.

Alexander has even chosen to share the lessons he learned along the way. In his book, Improve Your Position, he captures the hard-won lessons and offers practical strategies for overcoming setbacks and finding opportunities in adversity.

“Success is about leaning into what you’re good at,” Alexander says. “When you focus your energy on your strengths, you figure out how to make things work, even in tough situations.”

Alexander’s career is also marked by the relationships he’s built. He’s quick to credit the people who have played a role in shaping his journey. Whether it’s collaborating with colleagues in the commentary booth, working alongside business partners, or mentoring younger fighters, Alexander views connection as essential to success.

“There’s no such thing as doing it alone,” he says. “The people around you are everything. They push you to be better, and they help you see what’s possible.”

As Alexander looks toward the future, he approaches each opportunity with the same mindset that has guided him for years. Whether he’s developing new ventures, contributing to the sports world, or sharing insights through his writing, his focus remains on progress. For him, it’s about staying in motion and embracing the possibilities ahead.

“No matter what’s behind you, there’s always a next step,” he says. “It’s up to you to take it.”
