Michael Heller shares his story at Mod on Central in Phoenix.

KJZZ partners with the Arizona Republic to bring you the Arizona Storytellers series. We record the live events and share them with you on the radio. In Phoenix, the storytellers sometimes share stories about our community or the life events that have shaped them in general. Megan Finnerty is the creator of the series.

Michael Heller started a business with his father after years of switching careers. They created a computer program called Consentsys, which is an online interface designed to help people settle their debt. After several months, Heller was invited to pitch his idea at Demo, a tech conference in Silicon Valley. He and his team were really pumped to be there.

Heller is the co-founder of Plus2 Technologies.

Join us for our next night of live storytelling on Oct. 26, 2015, at Skyline, the Rooftop Patio at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This story has been updated to reflect the correct spelling of the computer program created by Heller.
