Surround Yourself with the Right People (Here’s Why) | Ep. 178
About this episode
In this episode, I reflect on my experience at Running Man just a week ago. This was my third time going, and every single time I walk away with the same reminder: proximity is power.
I share why events like this are so powerful for me and how they’ve shown me the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. For example, when I tell most people I’m running a 100-mile race, they think it’s insane. But at Running Man, it’s normal—the standard. Instead of calling me crazy, people gave me advice on how to do it better.
That’s the power of proximity. Mentors make it real.
Right now, I feel like I have so much untapped potential inside me. I don’t have complete clarity on my life’s exact path yet—but I know my job isn’t to have it all figured out. My job is to keep moving in the direction of the person I want to become, to take action, and to learn from mentors who are already doing it at a high level.
