In this episode of Do The Work, we're talking about something that doesn't get discussed nearly enough in business:

Your environment and your community.

Most entrepreneurs spend all their time searching for better strategies, better tactics, and better marketing. But often the thing holding them back isn't a lack of knowledge, it's the people and environments surrounding them every day. 

Ruben shares lessons from living in the mountains and how being surrounded by people doing extraordinary things can completely change what feels possible. Whether it's running ultra marathons, building businesses, or creating financial freedom, success often starts feeling "normal" when enough people around you are already doing it. 

We also talk about:

• Why your community influences your success more than most strategies
• The danger of being the biggest fish in a small pond
• How masterminds, coaching programs, and communities helped us grow
• Why some environments stretch you while others keep you stuck
• How to create a business you actually enjoy running
• Why long-term success requires more than discipline alone
• The role joy plays in entrepreneurship and resilience
• How to audit your current environment and community for growth opportunities 

Terri also shares how, during one of the hardest seasons of life, intentionally focusing on joy became a daily practice and why building a business you enjoy matters more than most people realize. 

If you've been feeling stuck, uninspired, or like you're carrying your business journey alone, this episode might help you identify what's really missing. Sometimes the next level isn't a new strategy.

Sometimes it's a new room. 

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why environment impacts results more than most people realize
• How community shapes your standards and expectations
• Why big goals become normal in the right room
• The difference between a stretching community and a limiting one
• How masterminds and coaching programs accelerated our growth
• Why entrepreneurs need people who believe in them
• Creating an environment where you actually enjoy the work
• How joy and sustainability affect long-term success
• Why the best strategy in the world can't overcome the wrong environment
