Michael W. Allison – U.S. Marine – Purple Heart Veteran
From the streets of Miami to the sands of Iraq, from near-death to new purpose — Michael W. Allison’s story is one of courage, collapse, and calling.
A Purple Heart Marine turned award-winning entrepreneur and leadership strategist, Michael has lived the lessons he now teaches: that adversity isn’t the end — it’s the ignition point for transformation.
His books bring that mission to life — helping readers break limitations, rebuild identity, and perform under pressure with faith, clarity, and courage.
We all carry invisible barriers — limiting beliefs, fears, and internalized stories that trap us in cycles of hesitation and self-doubt. Break The Bottle® is a call to confront and crush those barriers — once and for all.

From trauma to triumph. From burnout to breakthrough. Overcoming Adversity is both memoir and manual — a guidebook for anyone ready to reclaim their life and lead with strength that can’t be shaken.
