Personal Update
Today my energy bucket is filled with physical exhaustion, happiness, motivation, thrill, and tenacity. I returned from Dallas Texas and the Raise the Bar Conference really early this morning then trained clients until 2 pm. This is why you are receiving this about 12 hours later than usual.
As I expected, It was an incredible experience both for the lectures and topics covered in the formal piece of the event. Still, the relationships I built with other colleagues were off the charts this year. Going to these events alone has its benefits in that it you are required to step outside of your very small comfort bubble and meet people. If you don’t it will be a lonely event and you’ll get barely 50% of the value of being in a location with like-minded people.
I’m a nerd for the information, but I am a fanatic for the relationships I build at events like these.
Fantastic Podcast(s) I listened to last week
I am going to re-share one this week. I shared this one a few weeks ago and I think it’s a must-listen.
Hidden Brain Podcast: January 9th, 2023- Who’s In Your Inner Circle?
Show Notes: If you think about the people in your life, it’s likely that they share a lot in common with you. Maybe they like the same kinds of food or enjoy the same hobbies. But, if you dig a little deeper, you may find that they share much more: they might make the same amount of money as you, or share the same race. This week, we talk with economists Luigi Pistaferri and Matthew Jackson about why we often surround ourselves with people who are just like us — and how we can transform our lives by pushing back against this phenomenon.

There will be a lot of changes in the coming weeks. Some are scary and some seem so simple you will question why they weren’t done sooner.
