Wow Reader!

Last weekend I spent three days with people who made me feel simultaneously inspired and slightly inadequate.

In the best possible way.

I attended my long time friend Krisstina Wise's mastermind focused on longevity and wealth building.

And wow.

Just... wow.

The caliber of humans in that room left me speechless at times.

Business owners doing incredible things. People with purpose. Individuals creating meaningful impact.

You know that feeling when you're around someone who makes you want to level up your entire existence?

Now multiply that by a roomful.

There's this quote by Jim Rohn that's been following me around for years:

I used to think it was just a nice motivational saying.

Now I know it's a warning.

And an invitation.

Since COVID hit, I've been in a bit of a mastermind drought. Zoom calls are fine, but there's something irreplaceable about being physically in a room with people who challenge your thinking.

People who make you uncomfortable with how much more is possible.

People who see potential in you that you've been blind to.

I left with this stark realization: I've been playing smaller than I need to.

Maybe you have too?

The truth is, we adapt to our environments without even noticing.

If everyone around you is content with "good enough," guess what becomes your standard?

But when you surround yourself with excellence, mediocrity becomes painful.

Growth becomes inevitable.

I'm curious - who are your five people? The ones shaping your ambitions, your standards, your beliefs about what's possible?

Are they pulling you forward or holding you in place?

The weekend was my wake-up call to intentionally curate my circle again.

To seek out the people who make me uncomfortable with their excellence.

Because that discomfort is the birthplace of growth.

And I'm ready to grow again.

How about you?
