In this episode, Teresa and Rick talk about the tremendous lifetime value that can come from having a weekly, fixed-meeting with a solid group of like-minded, committed learners. Because birds of a feather flock together, why not create a flock of very successful people?  By surrounding yourself with people that you aspire to emulate, you can elevate your life fulfillment in all areas. Find people that have 2 characteristics:  a commitment to lifelong learning and the ability to meet at a consistent time each week.  During each mastermind meeting, rotate who leads and brings a thoughtful topic to the table for the group to hash out. Rick has been in a mastermind group like this for more than 30 years, and he credits his health, meeting his wife, and his career success to the wisdom gained from these relationships.
