Speaker Bio

In a world filled with polished perfection, Michelle Weger stands out with a story of raw authenticity, resilience, and unstoppable drive. On stage, Michelle is joined by her Grand Champion Great Dane, Quinn—her loyal service dog and partner in breaking barriers.

Michelle’s message isn’t just about thriving in the face of narcolepsy; it’s about helping you uncover the hidden strength in your own story. Her keynotes are a masterclass in transforming fear into fuel for your dreams, with practical insights that can change lives.

Starting her own business was not only a goal for Michelle, it was necessary. Having been diagnosed with narcolepsy in her early twenties, she knew that she couldn’t keep up with a normal nine-to-five job.

“You don’t get a restful sleep,” she says. “It’s like if you stayed up for 48 hours straight and then tried to do your normal workday.” Most people with narcolepsy are either underemployed or unemployed. If Michelle wanted success, she would have to build it herself.

Her business, Venture Creative Collective- a successful website development and business process automation company has been operating successfully since 2012.

It’s rare for women to do what Michelle does with code, but what’s even more incredible is that she has accomplished all of this while living with narcolepsy.

This narcoleptic business owner has as a special talent for finding places to streamline and automate.These skills (and more!) are why Michelle won the prestigious 40 Under 40 award while still in her 20’s.
