From Crisis to Calling: Michael Batenburg’s Journey of Purpose

Rhett Palmer

Today on The Rhett Palmer Show, Rhett sits down with Michael Batenburg—former law enforcement officer, global tech executive, and serial entrepreneur—who shares his powerful story of transformation. At age 45, Michael experienced a “Jonah epiphany” during a battle with suicidal depression, leading him to redefine success and shift his life toward eternal significance. He now devotes his work to creating custom curated destination retreats for first responders, organizations, families, and individuals across the nation. Michael’s journey is a moving testament to healing, purpose, and the power of a second chance.
