Who helps you stay on track when things stop going according to plan? Even the most disciplined, self-reliant people hit moments when motivation fades or decisions feel heavier than usual.

In this encore episode, we share how building your circle before you need it is one of the smartest productivity moves you can make. Discover how surrounding yourself with the right people can turn setbacks into turning points — and goals into lasting results.
