Michael Crafton

Entrepreneur, CEO, Advisor, Industry Disrupter

Michael Crafton stands as a testament to entrepreneurial resilience and innovation. As the driving force behind one of the US’s largest fire and life safety service businesses, he transformed a humble beginning in an old pickup truck in 2005 into a powerhouse with 20+ offices and over 40,000 clients. His strategic use of AI, automation, and cloud-based systems, combined with an employee-centric approach, has enabled unparalleled scalability and significant enterprise value.

A staunch advocate of the “Employees First, Customers Second” philosophy, Michael’s leadership has consistently reduced acquisition costs while maximizing customer lifetime value. This approach has resulted in market-leading returns and the creation of world-class teams. 

One of Michael’s most notable contributions to personal and professional development is the creation of the ‘4CAP’ program. Titled ‘Creating Awareness and Consciousness in High Performing Individuals,’ this initiative is centered around four fundamental principles: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual self. Its primary objective is to equip individuals with the necessary capabilities, skills, and readiness to effectively navigate and overcome challenges in both personal and professional aspects of life and business. The ‘CAP’ in ‘4CAP’ stands for Capable, Able, and Prepared, emphasizing the program’s core ethos. 

Michael’s adaptability is evident in his ability to navigate challenges from the 2008 economic downturn to the 2020 pandemic, where he pivoted his business strategy, overcoming a 70% customer attrition to achieve record growth. His crisis management skills are renowned, and he’s been recognized as a 7-time winner of the Distinguished Top Workplace award and named among the “40 under 40.” 

Beyond business, Michael’s mindset is reflected in his adventurous spirit, having completed events like Sealfit KOKORO, the “Running of the Bulls” in Spain, and numerous endurance challenges.

The 4CAP Concept

The “4CAP” concept is designed to embody the essence of true being.  I am not a traditional coach or consultant.  Instead, I see myself as a guide, assisting you in your quest for heightened awareness and consciousness that can lead to true presence.

4CAP does not follow a rigid program or template. The path we take will be shaped by our interactions, ensuring a tailored and holistic approach that resonates with your individual needs.

The “4CAP” methodology is designed to influence how you think, act, and experience life personally and professionally.  The essence of the future is shaped by our ability to be present. However, genuine presence can only be achieved once we’ve addressed and reconciled with our past. Many of us carry deep-rooted issues, often unbeknownst to us, influenced by multi-generational DNA imprinting that defines our very essence. Our journey will begin with understanding these imprints, followed by shedding this baggage to achieve a state of true presence.
