Episode 70: Why Successful People Seek Out People Ahead of Them


Shownotes:

Who are you listening to every day?

Seriously.

Are the people around you helping you grow…
or keeping you exactly where you are?

In this episode, John Crutchfield delivers a direct mindset challenge about influence, growth, and the uncomfortable reality of leveling up in life and business.

Most people stay stuck because they spend too much time around people who:

  • Accept mediocrity

  • Avoid accountability
