About this episode
This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur, father, and Bachelor Nation fan favorite, Michael Allio!

Most know Michael from Katie Thurston’s season of The Bachelorette and eventually his time spent on Bachelor in Paradise, where he quickly became one of the most popular and well liked contestants on the show. Michael has been open and vulnerable about sharing a personal loss he experienced in 2019 before going on the show after losing his wife, Laura, to cancer. Over the past few years, he has honored her memory by founding a nonprofit organization dedicated to families battling cancer and most recently getting involved with a cancer treatment project. 

Michael gives insight to working for a distribution company he started with his parents supplying safety clothing, what his life was like after his wife Laura was diagnosed with cancer, what he would tell his younger self, how he didn’t want to show to change how he viewed the world, breaking down how his company began distributing PPE during COVID and debunking an inaccurate article. Michael also reveals why paradise was more appealing than the Bachelor, negotiating his contract, the importance of getting life insurance, his best advice for saving, navigating personal and professional resets, and the topical project he is dedicating his life to in order to provide relief for pain related to chemo treatment that he started with Laura. How did his nonprofit The L4 Project lead to him being casted for The Bachelorette? Why did he decline becoming the Bachelor after Katie’s season?

Michael reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
