The Daily Podcast with Jonathan Doyle

Your Peer Network Is Either Your Greatest Asset or Your Biggest Liability — Which Is It?

You don't drift into a better life. You choose it. And one of the most powerful choices you can make is who you spend your time with.

Sociological research consistently shows that we tend to achieve the same outcomes as the people we spend the most time with. Not because we're weak — but because we're wired for social cohesion. Our brains are literally designed to match the behaviours, language and beliefs of the people around us. In prehistory that kept us alive. Today it might be keeping us small.

In this episode Jonathan Doyle explores what happens when you begin to want different things to the people around you — and what it actually takes to do something about it without becoming obnoxious or burning your relationships to the ground.

Drawing on Alfred Adler's concept of the courage to be disliked, the parable of the talents, and decades of speaking to hundreds of thousands of people on stages across the world, Jonathan makes the case that auditing your peer network isn't elitist. It's essential.

You don't have to dramatically cut people off. You just allocate time differently.
