What did you dream about being when you were a kid? Some dreamed of being a doctor, a Cop, a Scientist, what have you. Only the real ones will tell you that they wanted to be a knight, pirate, a spitfire, or in the case of Mike Savas: a ninja.
“As a kid, I wondered what it would be like to be a Ninja. As an adult, I’ve curated a life based on fun, excitement, and adventure that allows me to help people see their dreams come true and make the world a better place along the way.”
Very few of us get to be something “fun” for a living. Dreams of knighthood turn to spreadsheet mining, and medical pursuits turn to business school hustle, but again, Mike Savas - also known as “The Wizard,”- did get to that kind of rare, golden opportunity to be really passionate about something cool and fun. No, he did not get to be a sneaky shinobi shadow warrior, of course, but he did get to be the founder and CEO of SUPER, a high-touch boutique VIP Experience Agency for major live concerts, curated special activations and global events. Savas' goal is to create exclusive and customized events in exceptional locations around the world, showcasing his determination to break new ground and surpass expectations.
Mike’s unerring trailblazing has led SUPER to become one of the fastest-growing companies in The U.S. according to Inc 5000. SUPER has broadened its scope to encompass more than just live events. In addition to creating unforgettable experiences for fans and attendants, the company has also ventured into brand agency work and real estate projects. These projects have a unique focus on amplifying the local culture of the areas where they are developed. By doing so, SUPER is able to create a deeper connection between its clients and the communities they visit.
Savas and his team have also engaged in various social impact projects and provided humanitarian aid to those affected by natural disasters. For instance, they provided life-saving assistance to victims of the 2015 earthquake in Nepal, as well as carried out aid missions in Poland, Mexico, and Peru. As part of their commitment to giving back to the community, they have undertaken a range of initiatives aimed at making a positive impact on people's lives.
Savas' love for adventure and his desire to immerse himself in new cultures and experiences inspired him to undertake a unique project called "Month in the Making." This journey took him to 12 different countries over the course of 12 months, during which he learned 12 different skills. He documented his experiences in a video series on YouTube, showcasing his passion for personal growth and his eagerness to connect with people from all walks of life.
“Whether it’s producing once-in-a-lifetime VIP fan experiences for top-tier talent or providing radical relief to those in need from natural disasters, I’m dedicated to igniting impact through authentic human connections. We all have the power to convert negative energy into positive change. Our mindset and habits dictate our path. Why not make it an exciting journey?”
Savas is a highly experienced leader in the music industry who has been on numerous world tours. He has collaborated with many big names in the business, such as Bon Jovi, Metallica, Oprah, The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, Prince, Eminem, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, The Black Eyed Peas, Janet Jackson, Michael Buble, Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam, and even former President Barack Obama.
This past September, Mike was to host his annual travel conference, however -as you know- an earthquake struck the region the day prior, and though the conference had to be canceled, Mike wasted no time and sprang into action. He swiftly mobilized volunteer groups and collaborated with the government to organize efforts. Their primary focus was on setting up remote villages in the mountainous regions, where 6000 villages were destroyed and countless lives were lost. Mike dedicated a whole week to coordinating resources, establishing a system with the volunteers, and ensuring that everything was in order for the rebuilding process to commence in these devastated communities.
Mike's dedication to creating unique and unforgettable experiences for his clients, while also giving back to the community, is truly commendable. His work with SUPER and various social impact projects is a testament to his commitment to making the world a better place. I hope his story serves as a reminder that with dedication, hard work, and a little bit of creativity, we can all achieve our dreams and make a positive impact on the world around us.
