About my Guest Michaell Magrutsche :
Michaell Magrutsche (mag-rootsh) is a neurodiverse multidisciplinary artist, strategist (private, corporate and political) Creativity-Awareness Educator.
Michaell works on raising the awareness of our limitless human-potential. Dyslexia/dysgraphia forced Michaell to develop an awareness to see the world contextually. Having a more human-centric perspective and art-creation saved his life feeling like a human being instead of an outcast.
Today, Michaell’s unique comprehension allows him to contribute to almost every topic. Michaell is an advocate for human-education and understanding neurodiversity.
Michaell is totally self-taught and wrote 6 books about art and humanity, man-made systems and human inclusivity. Creating-art taught him understanding the nuances of human-centric vs system-relevant living.
In his book The Smart of Art, Michaell refines the misunderstanding of why 98-99% of artists worldwide exist around the poverty-level.
