This conversation is especially useful for anyone leading a team, working across departments, navigating tension, or trying to communicate with more clarity and care.

Listen, reflect, and take the next intentional step.

00:00 – Why relationships don’t have to last forever to matter

What if everything you’ve been taught about success is backwards?

In this episode of How You Go There, Scott and Linda dive into one of the most overlooked — yet powerful — drivers of personal and professional growth: relationships.

From challenging the idea that success is built on skills alone, to exploring how the right relationships create access, opportunity, and momentum, this conversation reframes how you think about your journey.

You’ll learn why every meaningful milestone in your life likely traces back to a person, how to identify the relationships shaping your path, and what it actually looks like to build intentional, high-impact connections.

Plus, we introduce a practical exercise from the How You Go There workbook: relationship mapping — helping you break down your network into mentors, supporters, challengers, and more.

Whether you're looking to grow your career, strengthen your network, or better understand your path, this episode will challenge you to rethink who’s on your “train” — and why it matters.

If someone mapped you, what role would you play in their life?
