I’m back in The Bronx where it all started and I can feel it. The pull. The familiarity. The conversations. The energy. The gravity of your environment is real. If you’re not intentional, it will reset you to who you used to be. In this episode, I break down the 10 things I’ve learned coming back home how environment shapes identity, why victim mindset is the fastest trap, and why skills are the real exit door. I talk about influencing your surroundings instead of being shaped by them, using where you come from as fuel, and understanding that every detail matters if you want to rise. You can love where you’re from without letting it define your ceiling. The question is simple: are you strong enough to escape the pull?
