About Michael Paulk

Michael Paulk is not your typical keynote speaker; he’s bold, direct, entertaining, and unapologetically real. A former U.S. Army Ranger and Special Operations soldier with the elite 75th Ranger Regiment and 1st SFOD-D, he learned early that comfort doesn’t create growth, and excuses don’t drive results.

After 15 years in the Army, Michael transitioned into the world of finance as a licensed stockbroker and top-producing financial advisor, then built both a sales training company and a boxing/kickboxing gym, merging performance, psychology, and accountability.

He went on to lead in the automotive industry from Salesperson to General Manager, real estate leadership, and today coaches and trains top performers across multiple industries using his signature frameworks:

  • The Ranger Mindset Method
  • The DRIVE Framework (Determination, Resilience, Influence, Value, Execution)

His message is practical, tactical, to the point, and deeply human. His style leaves audiences alert, engaged, and ready to take action.
