Meet Michael Shatravka –
No Fluff, No BS, Just Results.

I didn’t graduate high school. My education came from the real world—the School of Hard Knocks. What I learned early on is that nobody cares about diplomas or certificates. The only thing that matters is: Can you get the job done? Yes or no.

That’s been my approach in business, with clients, and even life. I don’t care about potential, fancy résumés, or name-dropping past projects. The only thing that matters is execution—can you deliver or not? That’s the same way I approach every project I take on, and it’s why I work with a very select group of clients who take pride in what they do.

I’ve done every kind of job you can imagine—from scraping gum off the sidewalk for $10 an hour to producing high-end branding and marketing campaigns for multi-million dollar luxury properties. And my mindset has never changed: If you’re going to do something, do it well. I treat every job like it’s the last one I’ll ever do—because if you’re not proud of your work, why do it at all?

Why I Built This Business

I know what it’s like to run a real business with real overhead. I’ve had employees. I’ve managed payroll. I’ve been the one cutting checks before paying myself. And I’ve seen first-hand how inefficient and bloated most digital services are.

I’ve been in your shoes—bombarded by agencies, freelancers, and marketers promising the world but delivering nothing. I know what it’s like to hire people and feel like you’re working twice as hard just to get things done right.

That’s why I built my business differently.

I don’t run an agency. I don’t outsource everything and pass it off as “managed services.” I am your direct point of contact. I manage everything. I execute. No unnecessary meetings, no long-winded strategy sessions—just results.

Why Work With Me?

I bring the same urgency, efficiency, and no-BS execution to my clients that I apply in my own life. I know what it’s like to be a small business, a startup, or the new guy in the industry trying to make some noise. I know the scrappy marketing tactics, the resourcefulness, the full-send mentality it takes to win.

Unlike most agencies or freelancers, I don’t nickel-and-dime you for every little task or disappear after getting paid. I work with a long-term mindset—because your success is my reputation.

At the end of the day, all business is simple. People like people. They want to belong. They want to feel like they’re a part of something. If you cut through the noise and just focus on delivering value, you win. That’s what I help my clients do.

A Little About Me

• I started off in the film world as an actor—playing Russian bad guys on shows like Power and Orange is the New Black.
• I transitioned into photography, videography, web design, and branding—gradually taking on more responsibility and mastering execution.
• I became a one-man, full-service operator, handling branding, content, marketing, and digital systems.
• I’ve built and run physical businesses, including a 10,000-square-foot space with real overhead, staff, and operational challenges.
• I speak fluent Russian & English. My father immigrated from the Soviet Union after spending nearly a decade in the gulag. He taught me that independence and standing by your word are the only things that matter.

Today, I live a nomadic lifestyle, married to an amazing Colombian wife, raising a beautiful daughter, and building businesses. I believe in self-sufficiency, cutting out inefficiencies, and maximizing every opportunity.

Final Thought: Time vs. Money

I don’t chase clients, and I don’t sell people on why they should invest in themselves. You either see the value in what I do, or you don’t.

At the end of the day, it comes down to one thing: Do you value your time or your money more?

• If you want to spend time figuring it all out yourself, you can try DIY, Fiverr, or ChatGPT.
• If you want to get real results without wasting time, let’s talk.

I help business owners take their digital presence, branding, and marketing seriously—no gimmicks, no wasted effort.
