Michael Krowne

Michael Krowne’s “What’s Your Stuck Type?” helps entrepreneurs—especially those in recovery—identify self-sabotaging patterns holding them back. Based on neuroscience and Krowne’s journey from homelessness to successful founder, it categorizes five “stuck” types: Overthinker, Doubter, Paralyzed Perfectionist, Drifter, and Avoider. The framework reveals how mental traps like Change Blindness (overlooking solutions) or Learned Helplessness (resigning to failure) perpetuate stagnation. Through a quick quiz and tailored Build Your Comeback (BYC) strategies—like “imperfect action” for perfectionists—it transforms awareness into momentum. Krowne merges lived experience with psychology to turn “rock bottom” into a launchpad for purpose-driven growth.
