Helping People Discover Purpose, Find Meaning, and Leave a Lasting Legacy.
AUTHOR • SPEAKER • EXECUTIVE • RECOVERY ADVOCATE
I’m Michael Lassman: author, speaker, entrepreneur, and former Wall Street and energy executive. For years, I chased achievement, success, and status, believing they would satisfy the deepest longings of my heart. They didn’t.
Through addiction, recovery, personal failure, faith, and redemption, I discovered that life’s greatest fulfillment isn’t found in what we accomplish—it’s found in becoming the person God created us to be.
Today I write, speak, and teach about recovery, purpose, personal transformation, and leaving a lasting legacy. My hope is to encourage people to stop merely existing and begin living lives of meaning, significance, and eternal impact.
Helping People Discover and Live Out Their God-Given Purposes
MEET MICHAEL LASSMAN
Success and Significance Are Not the Same Thing.
For much of my life, I chased success. Like many people, I believed achievement would eventually answer life’s deepest questions.
My journey from Wall Street and the energy industry through addiction, recovery, faith, and transformation taught me something very different:
Success and significance are not the same thing.
Today, I write and speak to help others discover the life they were created to live.
“You weren’t created merely to make a living. You were created to make a difference.”

The Seven Stones
Every day we influence the lives of those around us. Our words, choices, and actions create ripples that extend far beyond what we can see. But the most important question isn't what we leave behind—it's who we become.
In The Seven Stones, Michael Lassman explores seven essential journeys that shape a life of purpose, character, and lasting legacy. Blending timeless biblical truth with insights from some of history's greatest psychologists, he reveals the inner transformation necessary to become the person God created you to be.
More than a book about legacy, The Seven Stones is a guide to becoming someone whose life creates lasting impact.
"Every person wants to change the world. The world changes when we become the people God created us to be."
