Unfiltered with Dave Letele · #54 Mike Bennetts: The CEO Advice I Needed To Hear | Ex-CEO, Z Energy · 13 Jun 2026 podcast

So when you're at school and you want to get better grades, what do you get told?

Work harder, study harder.

And then we bring that into our adult lives, into business.

And sometimes working harder is not the right thing to do.

Sometimes we feel like as entrepreneurs we've got to work harder.

Hey, I've got to be up at 2 in the morning.

Yeah.

I remember doing – I was doing like training at four in the morning.

I was like, I don't know why.

So that's what I had to do.

Yeah, it was the story you were living inside of, which is that's what founders do.

That's what business leaders do.

I've worked out a long time ago, thankfully, that –

Sleep is really important.

I've got a wearable.

I have lots of data to help me with all of that because I realize that actually if I spent more time working, less time sleeping, I would not get the results that I was committed to.

So I think, as I said earlier, a lot of people forget sleep, diet, exercise, and mindfulness is the way to get yourself into the best position.

How do you find balance though?

As a founder or as entrepreneur, you're trying to build something great.
