Alon Shabo talks about “From Trading My Soul for Money to Joy (and Insights from Mt Kilimanjaro)” in this episode of the Intuitive Leadership Mastery Podcast, with host Michaela Light.
“One of my mentors hold me like it's like the jungle theory; like Tarzan. You don't jump to another tree it until you have a solid branch to grasp onto or else you'll fall down. So yes, I just gradually I started exiting the relationships I would joining me. I started replacing them with better ones like for example I was doing copywriting services. I started ditching all the businesses that were just questionable or shitty clients; whatever. And I started writing more about stuff that I care about and I like. Like stuff if I would do with my own audiences. ” – Alon Shabo

- No Picnic on Mount Kenya by Felice Benuzzi
- Detained at P.O.W. Camp 354 near Nanyuki, Kenya, Felice Benuzzi from Trieste, together with two fellow-prisoners Dr. Giovanni (‘Giuàn') Balletto from Genova and Vincenzo (‘Enzo') Barsotti from Lido di Camaiore, escaped in January 1943 and climbed Mt Kenya with improvised equipment and meagre rations, two of them reaching a point on the north face of the Petit Gendarme, at about 5000 metres,[6] high up the NW ridge. After an eventful 18-day period on the mountain (24 January – 10 February), and to the astonishment of the British camp commandant, the three adventurers broke back into Camp 354. As reward for their exploit, they each received 28 days in solitary confinement, commuted to 7 days by the camp commandant in acknowledgement of their “sporting effort”.

Interview Transcript:
Michaela: To the show. And today I'm talking with Alon, and his last name is Shabo. I think I'm saying that right. You can correct me in a moment if I got it wrong. We're gonna talk about how he traded his soul for money, and how he changed that to a more joy filled business. And also some insights he got from climbing to the summit of the highest mountain in Africa – Mount Kilimanjaro.
So he's also got a lot of insight from totally disconnecting from his regular life and all his digital stuff. And also he gets a lot more excitement these days from helping his customers be happy instead of doing what he did in his dark arts days which we'll talk about. And if we have time, we'll talk about how and why he gave up drinking. And how he is happy at parties and to be the wild sober guy. So welcome Alon.
Alon: Yeah, thank you for having me.
Michaela: And just in case you don't know who this guy is; he's an author, businessman, secret [inaudible] [01:08] and is about to release a book called ‘Just be a Good Animal’. Be out sometime later this year. And we'll talk a bit more about that later. But first of all I'm kind of curious you had a job, a business that was your passion, you really enjoyed it, and you gave it up to chase money. Why, what was what's going through your head man?
