Co-authored with Chicken Soup for the Soul creator Jack Canfield, Fomkin’s new chapter, “Platform,” chronicles a purpose-driven life — from Brooklyn beginnings to the global stage.
Living Truth, the latest anthology from SuccessBooks®, has officially become an Amazon bestseller, launched November 13, 2025. Among its standout voices is Sir Michael Fomkin, whose contribution, “Platform,” reveals a dramatic personal journey—from the pursuit of celebrity to the creation of mission-centered media ventures such as VIP Ignite and The Miami News.
Sir Michael Fomkin’s rise from Brooklyn hardship to global influence reads like a masterclass in modern reinvention. In “Platform,” his chapter in Living Truth, Fomkin recounts leaving behind a high-profile entertainment career to cultivate spaces where emerging talent can thrive with authenticity. “It wasn’t about walking away from success,” Fomkin writes. “It was about walking toward significance.”
The book, co-authored with Chicken Soup for the Soul architect Jack Canfield and a global roster of professionals, explores what it means to live truthfully in a world saturated with performance and posturing. That message has resonated widely: Living Truth achieved best-seller status in multiple Amazon categories within days of release.
Fomkin’s professional portfolio spans more than two decades of innovation across branding, business coaching, and media. Through VIP Ignite, he has helped launch the careers of over 7,000 models, actors, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, his more recent ventures — Truth Mgmt, VisionCraft, and CAST-GPT™ — signal a pivot toward AI-powered talent discovery and legacy-building mentorship.
“He’s one of those rare founders who moves between digital, live, and personal development spaces seamlessly,” said a colleague familiar with his work. “He doesn’t just talk about platforms, he builds them.” That ethos is visible in everything from his AI casting tool CAST-GPT™ to his mastermind group, Legends Circle, to his philanthropic goal of raising $20 million to build schools in Kenya.
Fomkin, who was knighted for his humanitarian work, says impact must scale with visibility. His initiatives have supported the rescue of more than 3,500 children from sex trafficking and helped generate over $150 million in sales across virtual and live events. He’s also authored best-selling books with business icons including Michael Gerber and Brian Tracy, and has received media coverage in Forbes, Entrepreneur, and major television networks.
As Living Truth climbs the charts, it cements not just a literary win, but a symbolic one: a reaffirmation that personal legacy can eclipse public applause. For Fomkin, the spotlight may have dimmed — but the platform has never been more powerful.
