startup nation, meet: Michael Noll
Michael is a diverse individual with a varied background in music (bass guitar - 23 years), computer programming (IT) and a love for all things Star Wars/Marvel and Milwaukee Brewers.
Being a therapist is what he was designed to be, though, but it took him a bit longer to get there...(about 20 years longer than many). He's creative, kind, introverted and a bit off the beaten path.
Currently creating and cultivating his Mental Health Professionals Networking group to bring about an agency without walls for referrals, networking and "get to know who's out there" camaraderie in the community.

If you are in private practice, you wear a lot of hats. And some of those hats are totally great. But some — like filing taxes and running payroll, for example — not so great. That’s where Gusto comes in. Gusto makes payroll, taxes, and HR actually easy for small businesses. Fast, simple payroll processing, benefits, and expert HR support all in one place. Gusto automatically pays and files your federal, state, and local taxes so you don’t have to worry about it. Plus they make it easy to add on health benefits and even 401(k)s for your team. So let them wear one of your many hats — you have better things to do. Listeners get three months free when they run their first payroll. Try a demo and see for yourself at gusto.com/pps.
Knowing you need legal, ethical, and competent paperwork is overwhelming, time consuming, and expensive! We’re clinicians, not lawyers. We put in 100+ hours of work, combed through the laws and ethics, and paid thousands of dollars in expensive attorney fees so you don’t have to.
