Summary
Mike Chang grew Six Pack Shortcuts to a multi 8-figure company before leaving everything to on a spiritual journey.
It's been 9 years since Mike left the entrepreneurial scene at the height of his career, and today Mike and I sat down to talk about what happened and lessons learned along the way.
For years Mike was the guy that everyone in my industry looked up to. People copied his strategies and aspired to reach his level of success but then he walked away from it all.
After going on his spiritual journey now he is coming back into business with a very different perspective and set of goals.
In this podcast we discuss what business looks like when purpose, fulfillment, and peaceful balance are the goals instead of the usual nonstop hustle.

| 0:20.4 | Hey, guys, this is going to be a different type of episode. It might actually be the opposite |
| 0:26.8 | of all of the other content and all the other discussions that you're used to hearing on my show |
| 0:33.6 | and at capitalism.com because it's a discussion with someone who took the opposite journey |
| 0:39.0 | that a lot of us are taking. It's someone who built a business, took it to eight figures, |
| 0:43.7 | and was the envy of people in my industry. For years, he was the guy that we looked up to. He was the |
| 0:51.4 | guy that other people copied. He was the guy that other people |
| 0:55.3 | mimicked and tried to be like. And he walked away from it all. He decided that it wasn't the life |
| 1:01.0 | that he wanted. He decided that there was a different type of life that he did want. He decided |
| 1:06.4 | that there was a different level of fulfillment for him if he were to change things up. |
| 1:12.8 | One of my favorite quotes is from the author C.S. Lewis. And I'm summarizing my own words, |
| 1:18.8 | but he says that when two men are walking down a road in the wrong direction, the one who |
| 1:24.4 | stops first makes the most progress. That summarizes what Mike Chang went through |
| 1:31.0 | when he decided to walk away from his business called six-pack shortcuts. It was a business with |
| 1:36.6 | millions of YouTube followers, eight figures in revenue, and he had fame where he was recognized |
