Michael Vega

Michael A. Vega knows rejection better than most — and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Over a 20-year career spanning Wall Street trading floors, international business development, financial consulting, and entrepreneurship, Michael heard "no" more times than he can count. He was told no by investors, no by gatekeepers, no by markets that crashed and industries that shifted. And every single time, he came back swinging.

Born and raised in New York City, Michael built his career from scratch — earning FINRA licenses, leading international sales teams across Latin America and the Caribbean, mentoring emerging professionals, and eventually launching his own financial services firm. None of it came easy. All of it came from refusing to let rejection be the final word.

In Chasing No, Michael flips the script on one of the most paralyzing forces in business and in life. Drawing on real stories from the streets of the New York to the boardrooms of global finance, he shows readers how to stop fearing rejection and start using it — as fuel, as feedback, and as the fastest shortcut to confidence, opportunity, and income that most people never discover because they quit too soon.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, Michael has worked with entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals across the globe. He understands what it means to be underestimated — and exactly what it takes to prove everyone wrong.

Chasing No is not a theory. It's a testimony.
