#140 Behind the Scenes of Our Businesses: Lessons in Team-Building, Consistency, & Setting High Standards with Mikhail Alfon

Grab a notebook and settle in—you’re going to want to take notes from this week’s episode of Beyond Influential.

I’m excited to welcome back my friend and returning Beyond Influential guest, Mikhail Alfon, for a candid and wide-ranging conversation full of valuable insights you won’t want to miss. Mikhail is the Orange County-based entrepreneur behind the rapidly-growing marketing agency Blue Light Media, and host of the podcast Oversharing with Mikhail Alfon. 

As an entrepreneur, it’s important to have others you can count on to truly be there without expectation, and I know I can always rely on Mikhail to operate with integrity. 

I usually do a good amount of prep work when it comes to interviews, but this week’s episode was a completely behind-the-scenes, real-life catch up session. I really can’t stress enough how much value is in this episode.  We chat about the evolution of Mikhail’s business since our last episode, his popular Instagram hashtag #EarnYourSunrise, and have a really honest and in-depth conversation about our respective takes on team-building, hiring, company culture, content creation, podcasting, setting high standards in your business, and more! 

This Beyond Influential is basically a private conversation we are releasing publicly about the important topics affecting our businesses in real time.
