Standard Self-improvement advice is usually beige, unhelpful and often just wrong.

We dive into the topic of "You are the 5 people you spend most time with" and learn where it is wrong and dangerous to follow. Instead, we learn a toolkit to be ourselves wherever we are and build relationships that nourish us.

Lessons:

  • Where common advice falls short
  • Signs of toxic relationships blocking you from your potential
  • Signs of healthy relationships
  • Using the Growth Mindset to control your influences and outcomes
  • Seeking variety from your inputs
  • The dangers of conforming and group-think

This episode holds a core mental-model for building a Growth Mindset and how to seek inspiration around you. Avoid getting caught in group-think or relationships that create Fixed Mindset thinking and be more yourself.
