Description

In this episode, we explain why motivation isn’t about willpower—it’s about who you’re around. You’ll learn how proximity quietly raises or lowers your standards without you noticing. From Terry Fox running a marathon every day on one leg, to scrolling Instagram while eating Egg McMuffins, to how biographies, social media, and even where you date shape who you become, the big takeaway is simple: surround yourself with people who pull you up, not habits that drag you down.
