MEET THE 
YEARBY'S

MICHAEL IS A GIRL-DAD ON DUTY, HUSBAND FOR LIFE

Michael Yearby has traveled the world and worn many titles, but the ones that truly define him? Husband to Esther and full-time Girl Dad to Olivia.

He and Esther have been rocking this marriage thing for four years, celebrating their anniversary every September 26th like it’s the Super Bowl of love. Their journey started in Korea at Kunsan Air Force Base, where fate (and maybe a little military precision) brought them together. From that moment, they’ve been inseparable—building a life filled with love, laughter, and a healthy dose of "Babe, did you see where I put my keys?" moments.

But let’s talk about Olivia—the tiny tornado of joy who keeps Michael on his toes. At two years old, she’s not negotiating tea parties just yet, but she’s got Daddy wrapped around her little finger with those big eyes and toddler giggles. He’s mastered the fine art of chasing her around the house, deciphering toddler-speak, surviving snack-time meltdowns, and playing the “pick up and put down” game on repeat. He’s also a human jungle gym, stuffed animal security guard, and professional “let’s watch that same episode again” enthusiast.

No matter where life takes him, his heart is always with his girls. Because at the end of the day, being a husband and a father isn’t just part of his life—it’s the best part.

ABOUT MICHAEL YEARBY

 

The Anime-Powered Speaker You Didn’t Know You Needed

 

Some people watch anime. Others live it. I’m Michael Yearby—Air Force veteran, anime enthusiast, personal development expert, and the kind of speaker who makes you laugh, think, and rethink your life choices (in a good way).

With over 23 years of military experience, a Master’s in Organizational Management, and a serious passion for storytelling, I fuse anime logic with real-world leadership strategies to help organizations level up. You might be wondering:

  • “Is this guy serious?” Absolutely.

  • “Is he also hilarious and brutally honest?” Also, yes.

  • “Why should we book him?” Because your audience deserves a speaker who’s engaging, insightful, and not afraid to use a Naruto reference to explain team dynamics.​

I’ve built the Zenryoku Podcast Network, amassed 17K+ YouTube subscribers, and created programs that inspire leaders, teams, and individuals to push past limits. Whether it’s corporate training, keynote speaking, or personal development workshops, I bring energy, humor, and straight-up wisdom to every stage.

If you want a speaker who delivers high-impact lessons with anime-infused storytelling and military-grade discipline, hit me up. Let’s make your event the one people won’t stop talking about.
