Testimonials
This is the first Agentic Academy cohort, but it isn't the first time Michael and Wyndo have taught people to build systems, think more clearly, and do better work.
Between them, they've spent years refining how to take complex ideas and make them land for real people with real projects.
Wyndo specializes in the kind of guidance this program is built on: clear walkthroughs, generous examples, bigger-picture thinking, and practical AI systems people can actually use. Here's what readers and students say about Wyndo's teaching:
Michael has been helping people learn better, think smarter, use AI, and write blockbuster content for more than two decades. Below is a sampling of testimonials he has received over the years:
“Michael’s strategies helped us get articles published on Fortune, Business Insider, and Inc. We even had one article earn over $100,000 in revenue! Seminal works, and there is nothing like it on the market.”
—Russ Ruffino, Clients On Demand
“You helped me cross the $100k/month mark consistently... Also our video got 500,000+ views and I used principles from Seminal!”
—Andrew Kirby
“Over my career, I’ve sold over $100 million dollars in online courses to over one million paying students. I’ve written several books, and I know the best copywriters in the world. Michael is the smartest article writer I’ve ever met. He has mastered the unique art of creating free, high-quality educational content that is also high-converting. If you are a coach, consultant, or thought leader who wants hundreds or even thousands of leads from every article you write, there is no other program like this in the world.”
—Eben Pagan
“The first article I published after using Michael’s system was read over 150,000 times; that’s 75x what my previous articles were averaging. If you want a data-driven approach to writing viral articles, this is it.”
—Al Pittampalli
“Before working with the Seminal team, I was writing articles for a top online publication. At the time, I was going for quantity over quality. Only a few hundred people read each article. After working with the Seminal team, I switched to quality over quantity. Now, my articles get tens of thousands of views. More importantly, the credibility and social proof from these articles helped me raise over $1 million dollars.”
—Steve Mariotti
“With Michael’s support, we were able to write one of our most popular pieces to date. While our previous content netted an average of 3,000 views, our collaboration with Michael currently sits at nearly 50,000 views. Michael’s system truly changed how we write and, as a result, how we connect with our readers. It’s been one of our most valuable marketing investments to date!”
—Patrick Ewers
“Seminal is not only helping me write high-quality viral articles, it is also helping me package my training program. As a direct result of the program, I was able to land a $60,000 client, which also happens to be one of the largest banks in the world. They had many other proposals from big players in the market, and they specifically said they liked the “quick wins” and “trademark idea,” which I learned in your program. The program has already paid for itself many times over!”
—Fernando Colosimo
“Massive, massive value… the program already paid for itself many times over! For example, I applied one of the program’s concepts to a client proposal, and secured a $1.6M contract as a result. I now know how to break things down in a way that others understand, value and share — which helps with my thought leadership as well as businesses.”
—Wilson Mvula
“Michael has always been providing highly valuable content here in Substack, it's a no-brainer to up your game to gain access to his VIP content where possible.”
—Anfernee
“Your writing and ideas are truly special. You are at the edge of knowledge which is very rare and all your ideas have come from experience. There is so much trust in what you say. I have had a similar journey to yours. You are many steps ahead. I am learning so much from you. Respect for all that you have done.”
—Hihlan Shah
"Your piece on "10,000x Knowledge Worker" was outstanding. This is great insight. The fact that I can get some practical tools, too, makes it tops. I subscribe to maybe 30 AI authors on Substack. So far you are the only paid subscription, because you've demonstrated the clearest practical and strategic thinking."
—Dartz
“You consistently bring new perspectives and instantly make those perspectives actionable in my day to day work and life.”
—Ian Orekondy
“Hello Michael, Your writing changed my life! I discovered you right before the pandemic and the concept of mental models blew my mind! I religiously read your articles! Went ahead to even read the books suggested in the articles. For example the idea of deliberate practise that you placed in the learning how to learn model took my learning to the next level. Can't wait to keep learning!”
—Havillah Ogutu
“My inbox smilies every time your name appears! Thank you Michael for adding value to the world 🙏”
—Patrick Forbes
“I was a subscriber for your mental model club, which fundamentally changed the way I see the world, and the way I spend my time. I trust you that for a small amount of money you will provide me immense value again.”
—Tibor
"The only email that gets read from start to finish and makes me a little smarter every time I do."
—Nerissa Golden
“This has to be the best newsletter I subscribe to - I love your writing and well-thought-out insights. I feel the shifts in mindset on the spot and the results speak for themselves in the following days and weeks as I apply what I learn. Haven't grown so much so fast from any other newsletter content.”
