Who’s In Your Five? (And Why It Matters) (TPS578)


Listen Later

Who’s shaping the way you think, act, and grow? We’ve all heard the saying that you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with, but few of us stop to consider what that really means for our goals, habits, and future. In this encore episode, we’ll explore how your circle directly influences your time, energy, and attention, and why being intentional about who you let in can change everything.

You’ll learn how to make simple shifts that align your relationships with your ambitions, without ditching the people you care about.
