ATG 202: Your Friends Are Your Future

JON ACUFF
About this episode

You've probably heard the classic quote, “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” But what does that really mean for your life? In this episode, I’ll break down why your circle isn’t just a group of friends—it’s a blueprint for who you’re becoming. I’ll share personal stories, like how running with friends unexpectedly made me faster and how the right people can level up every area of your life. Plus, I'll give you three super practical ways to put this concept into action. Want to run a little faster together—literally and figuratively? This episode will show you how!
