In this episode of Arin It Out, host Arin Patterson explores what makes a truly dynamic team. Drawing from her own experience working on a group that called themselves “The Dream Team,” Arin shares why balance—not sameness—is the key to lasting team success.

She unpacks the five elements that every team needs:

1. The Connector — builds trust and relationships
2. The Doer — ensures things get done and done well
3. The Thinker — analyzes, questions, and prepares for the future
4. The Influencer — moves people, ideas, and systems forward
5. The Balancer — brings adaptability and emotional intelligence to keep the team steady

With stories, practical insights, and a yin–yang perspective on opposites working together, this episode will help you see your team in a new light—and reflect on how you can build your own dream team.
