ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION
When technology transforms overnight, how do you stay human while
keeping up?
In this episode of The Spirit of Gratitude podcast, Yogesh Patel
and Michael Earls dig into how gratitude, grit, and growth have
shaped Michael’s journey — guiding companies from traditional data
centers to cloud computing and now AI-powered infrastructure.
Michael shares stories that go beyond business and technology: a
not-so-funny moment of being pulled over in a “stolen” car, what
it’s like to spend the day talking to your computer, why he chose
to share his thinking openly on LinkedIn instead of writing a book,
and how gratitude has shaped his family life and his approach to
work.
The conversation is raw, personal, and grounded in a single
premise: gratitude doesn’t erase the hardship — it transforms it.
About Yogesh Patel and YoggNation: The Spirit of Gratitude is a
