You're listening to the Creating a Brand podcast where we deliver weekly masterclass interviews on topics to help you make your first or next step in business the right one.

I'm your host, Alex San Felipe. Do you ever feel like you're excelling at work but failing in your personal life?

We all know this, but often seem to forget it. Life is about more than just work, but it takes

a conscious effort to experience some form of balance along the way. In this episode, I am talking

with the person who has been the primary mentor my life since 2015. His name is Michael

Hyatt. He is the author of multiple bestselling books, journals, and is a top-rated podcast host.

In today's episode, we are discussing his book, Win at Work and Succeed at Life.

Michael refers this as the path toward the double win, where you don't have to choose between career achievement and your family, health, and personal interest.

nearly six years at this point. So I want to say thank you for that. Well, you're welcome. Thank you.

It was actually July 2015. I had this realization. I had this moment my life where I realized through a

friend who really challenged me with something. They said, don't let your giftedness take you further than

your character can. And I knew in that moment that that was actually happening for me. I was

overseeing a lot of people and doing a lot of big things, but I realized I was outpacing myself.

And because I started looking for mentors in my life, and I had a real struggle finding somebody local.

And I remember one night I shared this frustration with my wife.

And I was like, hey, I am just struggling here.

And I had desperation, I went to Google and just typed in virtual mentor to see what would come up on Google.
