Mid Life Switch Up! With Michael John Lewis

Switch It Up with Michael John Lewis. Michael John Lewis is a Brighton-based content creator, interviewer, and “switch up” influencer. After a career in acting and modelling, a medical scare changed everything—leading him to Brighton and a brand-new outlook on life.

From stage to storytelling, Michael John Lewis shares how one simple question—“What are you doing to switch it up?” can change everything...And we delve into what it really means to switch it up in life!
