I've known Michael since grade school and worked with him at Citigroup. He can think…read moreout-side-the-box and come up with creative solutions for difficult problems. At Citigroup, one of the goals we set out to accomplish was eliminate repetitive manual toil in our team's reporting processes. Michael put together an automated ETL solution that leverages SQL to process reports. His solution saved his team many hours per week and was recognized by senior management at Citi. Michael walked me through his solution and helped me create a solution for my own team. Michael is a great teammate and teacher, I would highly recommend partnering with him for future business endeavors.

The Sutton Capital VC/PE Apprenticeship Program is a great experience. It taught me the knowledge…read moreand skills needed for a VC/PE associate. I specifically chose Sutton Capital because Joel, the founder, was nice, super smart, and willing to help the investment community. He has a warm heart and is like a big brother. The program's great reputation and the fact that it is 12 months allows building a HUGE amount of hands-on - interactive learning. They also invest a lot into resources and great instructors. It's true hands-on, real-life deal exposure to lead the deal evaluation and present via the investment commitment. This program has changed my life for the better. I now have an entirely new valuable investment skillset that I can employ as a career and a hobby. It has allowed me to change career paths from one that was stagnant and monotonous to one that is challenging, intriguing, and rewarding. I chose this program to change my career direction to work on the deal side, which helped me a lot!!

My experience with Sutton Capital Academy left me concerned about the value delivered relative to…read morethe representations made during the discovery call. I booked an initial discovery call on September 9th, 2025 with the owner Joel with Sutton Capital to learn more about the academy and its platform highlighting breakthrough into the Venture Capital / Private Equity profession. Instead of an informative, consultative conversation to see if we were a good fit, the owner, Dr. Joel Palathinkal resorted to high-pressure sales tactics. I was heavily pressured to make an immediate purchasing decision on the spot, with offers that were allegedly only valid if I signed right then. As a consumer, I prefer to take the time to evaluate my options and ask questions without feeling cornered. Before enrolling, I was presented with expectations regarding the quality, educational value and potential benefits of the program; post participation I did not feel the course content, instruction or overall experience matched those expectations. This led to me asking for a refund of my fees which was denied in entirety. I made a second request on October 29th, 2025 which was also subsequently denied citing a signed contract been in place. This is not an accredited institution and so I would caution anyone that is seeking to make a substantial financial investment. Even Ivy league universities have provisions and agree to refund. Because of the substantial financial investment involved I believe prospective students should carefully review all marketing claims, obtain written documentation of what is being offered, and independently evaluate whether the program justifies its cost. DO NOT SIGN the contract as asked on the call. Your amounts are 100% NON REFUNDABLE and the content is outdated, it is a self study course. I have requested a refund and have also filed complaints with consumer protection agencies so that my concerns can be reviewed. This review reflects my honest personal experience. EDITS as of 6/10/26: I had requested for a refund on 9/29 and then again on 10/29 which is within a 60 day timeframe. The owner has taken away all access to the platform as vengeful behavior, is using chat and platform comments to build his case. I asked for refund multiple times within a week of signing up for the course. DO NOT PAY THE FEES and DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE COURSE. There are accredited institutions offering courses and network connections at free of cost or lower rates. The responses to my comments from the owner just show his spiteful behavior and refusal to refund the fees.

Synergy Education is home to an extraordinary community of people who make it their mission to…read morechange lives and the world. The level 1 course provides foundational education on a topic rarely discussed in schools: how to exist in this world as a human being. I don't know about you, but being a human for me has been quite the roller coaster. I know biology and calculus, but I never learned in school how to ask, forget about how to answer, some of life's most challenging and most important questions: Who am I? Where am I going? What is my place in this crazy world? How do I achieve fulfillment? Over the course of a weekend, the level 1 provides the structure and guidance on how to ask and begin to answer these questions, and so much more. Personally (I've completed level 3), Synergy has brought me a renewed sense of purpose in life and an inner peace that I never imagined I would have. I've done lots of therapy over the years, and always hit the same wall. I tell them "I understand my problems. Now what?" and almost every therapist I've had has been unable to answer that question. This is where Synergy lives. Synergy thrives on "now what?" If you're curious what it's like to have your life transformed for the better, go check it out

A very dear friend of mine (absolutely perfect from the get-go) began taking workshops with Synergy…read moreEducation. I began to notice profound and positive changes in him, both in his approach to his career and his personal life. He continued with a number of workshops, and I continued to see remarkable changes. It wasn't long before I began to think of the line from "When Harry Met Sally." I definitely wanted to have "some of what he's having." I attended a free introduction, and immediately signed up for the Basic. That was three years ago, and I have continued this incredible journey of transformation. The courses provide tools to negotiate the world we have often created, along with its self-limiting scripts, blind-spots and stories. The teachers and coaches are intelligent, compassionate and not without a well-developed sense of humor. The Synergy community is committed to contribution, and I have personally benefitted from their generosity. What I see most consistently in that community is true diversity. It has been an extraordinary, life-changing and life-affirming experience for me. My only regret is that it wasn't around 40 years ago. The good news -- it's never too late to create what you really want; particularly, when you are surrounded by a loving, supportive and committed community.

Before the coaching program, I was in constant agitation and anger with my family, especially my…read moreyoung daughter. I also felt stagnated at my career. I have always been hard working and tough on myself and thought it was just a phase, until multiple bursts of temper and sudden mood swings hinted to me that it wasnt. I reached out to Michael through referral by a friend. I entered the program not having clear expectations, I was always quietly doubtful of what "coaches" could realistically do. In the beginning, I also seldom practiced what was suggested for me. Until multiple sessions later, Michael let me slowly hold a mirror to myself, revealing insights about myself I've never thought possible. I'm now more aware of myself, my triggers, and am more equipped to deal with my own "narratives" which often limit my personal relationships and professional endeavors. I see now that although coaching doesnt solve all problems, Michael has certainly shown me that problems are often self-told, and that I, like many others, have much more potential if we just practiced simple ways to be self-aware and conscious. It was a powerful experience, impactful but kind, I would easily recommend Michael to anyone looking for a change

Michael provided the structure and an intuitive and compassionate guidance I was looking for; I always felt seen and supported. And his apt questions led me to understand myself better and trust my choices in this big growth moment in my life. As a woman on the path to healing he relationship with men, I felt safe and able to trust Michael as both, an equal and someone who I understands me. Anyone looking for a coach with a balanced approach to knowing oneself through mind, body and heart should work with Michael. After three months I was ready to quit my job with confidence and embark on a new path with more purpose.
