About this episode

Who You Surround Yourself with Changes Everything!


The people in your life shape your destiny. In this powerful mashup, I bring together some of the most inspiring voices—Eric Thomas, Brendon Burchard, and Jay Shetty—to reveal the impact of your environment and relationships on your journey to success. Together, we break down why your circle can either propel you toward greatness or keep you exactly where you are. If you’re serious about changing your life, it’s time to take a hard look at who you’re letting influence you.


I’ve lived it myself—surrounded by people who kept me comfortable but didn’t push me to be better. It wasn’t until I evaluated who I spent the most time with that I understood the power of proximity. Eric Thomas drives home the importance of having people around you who bring energy, not drain it. Brendon Burchard and Jay Shetty share how the right influences don’t just accept who you are; they see the greatness in you and won’t let you settle.


In this episode, we talk about how to create an environment of growth, starting with the people closest to you. Do they set a high standard? Are they future-focused? Or do they keep you anchored in the past? Making even a few shifts in your relationships can lead to life-altering changes in your mindset, energy, and results.


Takeaways:


- Why your environment is more powerful than willpower alone.

- How to identify friends who are “energy givers” vs. “energy drainers.”

- Strategies to find people who push you to the next level.

- Why future-focused relationships are key to growth.



Listen in, start building a circle that believes in your potential, and see how they’ll help you unlock it.
