Episode 5: Micah Mills – A Story of Superpowers at Work

Meet Micah Mills, a young man with autism who began his career working at a local pizza restaurant. Like many, he was eager to find a path that would challenge his mind and reward his focus. When Peak Performers met Micah, they saw a spark, an aptitude for learning, and a quiet determination that could shine in the right environment.

After some initial training with Peak, Micah was placed in a role with Mastercard, joining a team developing an AI chatbot. Transitioning from food service to a global technology company might seem like a leap, but Micah approached it with characteristic focus and curiosity. With support from Peak’s team and guidance from his new managers, Micah found his rhythm.

Together, Micah and his managers built a strong working relationship based on trust, communication, and understanding. What began as a learning experience evolved into a true partnership, one that allowed Micah to thrive. Today, he’s known on his team for his remarkable speed and precision, working much faster than anyone else. His unique way of thinking and attention to detail have become essential assets to the project’s success.

But Micah’s story isn’t only about professional achievement, it’s also about freedom. His success at Mastercard has given him the confidence and independence to enjoy his favorite hobbies, including playing video games, acting, and writing creative fantasy stories. Whether he’s crafting new worlds or coding chatbot conversations, Micah’s imagination shines through in everything he does.

Micah’s journey reminds us that talent takes many forms, and when given the right support and opportunity, people can far exceed expectations. His story is proof that inclusion doesn’t just change lives, it strengthens teams and organizations.
