00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:23.440
Hello everybody and welcome to Finding Your Innergator Podcast where we talk about discipline, relationships, and the habits that release to greatness that is already inside of you.
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.719
I'm your host, Arby Wright, and I am so glad that you're here.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:40.240
In each episode, we'll explore powerful lessons, real life stories, and practical strategies to help you live intentionally, build meaningful relationships, and unlock your full potential.
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:46.880
But greatness isn't something you stumble into, it's something that is built every single day.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:52.479
So let's get started and begin the journey to finding your integator.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.399
Let me start with a simple question.
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:09.359
Think about where you are in your life right now, your career, your opportunities, your progress.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:15.200
Now ask yourself this: how many of those things happen because of relationships?
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:22.319
Because someone believed in you, opened a door, made an introduction, or gave you an opportunity.
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:29.200
If you're honest about it, you'll realize something powerful, something very powerful.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.000
No one achieves greatness alone.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.040
All right, guys, so glad that you're here.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.239
I am really looking forward to today's episode.
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.319
This is RB Wright.
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.879
You're listening to Finding Your Inner Gator.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.680
And over the past several episodes, we've actually been walking through the inner gator framework.
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:59.280
At the very beginning, I told you that Gator stands for greatness achieved through optimizing relationships.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:05.599
Also told you that each letter represents a daily discipline as well.
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.000
Get clear.
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.240
Act with discipline.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.919
Track your progress.
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:13.199
Measure it.
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.599
Optimize relationships and then reflect and reset.
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.120
Today we're talking about the O.
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.400
And honestly, this might be the most powerful one of them all.
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.599
Optimize relationships.
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.560
Let's talk about the truth about success.
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.479
Here's something I've learned over decades in business, and I've seen it over and over again.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.120
Your opportunities in life will almost always come through other people.
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.520
Not through systems, not through luck, but through relationships.
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:57.360
A mentor will open up a door for you, a friend makes an introduction, a colleague recommends you for an opportunity.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:02.879
A customer trusts you enough to do business with you.
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.360
And they refer.
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:13.520
That relationship creates the trust where they refer more business to you.
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.120
Relationships create the momentum.
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.759
In my mind, relationships are a compounding asset, right?
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.599
They're compounding assets.
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.800
Think about the relationship like an investment.
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.319
When you invest in people over time, that investment compounds.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:44.400
The problem is that, in my opinion, anyway, most people treat relationships like transactions.
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.080
They only reach out when they need something.
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:56.639
But people who build powerful networks, they're doing something different.
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.199
They invest in people before they need anything.
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.439
They stay connected, they encourage, they support, they check in.
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.520
And over time, those relationships grow stronger.
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:13.520
And strong relationships create opportunities.
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:14.639
Right?
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.480
Opportunities.
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.199
They really share information.
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.879
They talk about water temperatures, they discuss bait patterns.
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.600
They help each other learn.
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:01.360
That's because we understand something that when people work together, everyone gets better.
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.600
Everyone gets better.
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:20.079
One of the things about relationships that's pretty cool when it comes to fishing is there's a captain I knew here in town, uh, Captain Blake, nice guy, much younger than me, nice guy, a fishy guy, right?
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.160
He's a real fishy guy.
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:29.680
And I ran into him and just said, hey, love to have you fish with me on my team sometime.
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.000
And he did.
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.920
And he was learning some stuff from us.
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.920
I was learning some stuff from him.
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:48.720
He's been on the water a lot, and we went to a certain area, and we we ended up uh catching uh a Mahi that won the Mahi division.
00:05:48.879 --> 00:06:00.800
It was a collaborative effort, but I do think had he been by himself, or had I been by myself, and we'd not been working together as a team, we never would have won that tournament.
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.920
Like I said, life works the same way, guys.
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:11.680
The strongest leaders will always surround themselves with strong relationships.
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.240
How do you optimize relationships?
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.000
What does it actually mean when I say optimize relationships?
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:22.720
It means being intentional about the people in your life.
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.959
A few questions that you need to ask yourself regularly is who can I encourage today, right?
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.879
Who can I help today?
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.759
Who should I reconnect with today?
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.639
Who has helped me that maybe I should think?
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:52.240
Those simple actions strengthen relationships and strong relationships can create powerful, powerful networks.
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:59.199
You know, there's a law out there, a principle in life called reciprocity.
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:08.240
When you consistently add value to others, for some odd reason people naturally want to add value back.
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.600
It has to be genuine, it cannot be transactional.
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:26.639
You have to have genuine interest in other people, genuine support, genuine encouragement, the kind of relationship, that kind of relationship, right?
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.120
It changes everything.
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.279
Changes everything.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.959
A really good friend of mine, uh, his name's Will.
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.439
And there's two or three of us on Saturday mornings.
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:50.399
If we're not fishing, we'll we'll hop in a boat and go to a local little restaurant called Sears Landing.
00:07:50.959 --> 00:08:01.680
Uh we usually leave the dock about 7.45 and just cruise down the waterway having a cup of coffee, pull in, and we go sit at the bar area and have breakfast and talk.
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:12.160
Something he said to me, and this is not by any means braggadocious, but it proved a point.
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:22.800
He said, one of the things I got to tell you, RB, that I appreciate is that when we're having breakfast or we're hanging out, you're not buried in your phone.
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.399
You're present.
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.879
And you make me feel that what I'm saying is important to you.
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:37.600
Even if you're listening to somebody and you're staring at your phone or saying, hey, I'm sorry, let me just take this real quick.
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:47.919
If you are there sitting with them, but you're not engaged in the conversation, they know it.
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:58.159
Bill Cosgrove uh said one time, a couple of times, that your head and your butt should always be in the same place.
00:08:58.639 --> 00:08:59.600
I love that.
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.480
I love that.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:06.799
You should always be present in the moment that you're trying to build a relationship to somebody.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:18.480
And I want to tell you a lesson that my wife taught me a long time ago, and I learned it a hard way, is that a relationship can never exist without communication.
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.200
It needs to be effective communication.
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:26.559
And communication isn't somebody talking to you and you're buried in your phone.
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:32.879
Communication is eye contact, listening, and they know that you're listening.
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.679
That's how you build a relationship.
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.320
Communication is a two-way street.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.279
Be present.
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.519
How do we tie this to inner gator?
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.879
Remember what we talked about from the beginning?
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.840
Inside of every person is an innergator.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.240
It's that greatness inside of you.
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.159
But greatness does not grow in isolation.
00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.200
Remember that.
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.759
Greatness does not grow in isolation.
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:09.759
It grows through relationships, through collaboration, through people helping each other rise.
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:17.279
When you start intentionally investing in people, something powerful happens and your opportunities will multiply.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:18.960
And let me just take it a step further.
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:24.559
We're going to talk about this at some point.
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:36.799
You should be encouraging with honest conversations with the people in your network, right?
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.759
Your friends.
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:43.120
Again, this is a deeper conversation as we we really start going through relationships.
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:56.639
I can tell you story after story of how these this thought process has changed my life because I believe you are a top, you are a reflection of the top five people you hang out with.
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.480
I believe that fully.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.519
They're holding you back.
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.840
And we're we're going to deep dive that.
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.679
We're going to deep dive that.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:40.720
But the power of relationships is not just the ability to be able to leverage that relationship, to optimize that relationship, but understand that you grow.
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.360
You should always surround yourself with people to your left, to your right, below you and above you.
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.120
I believe that's how you hire.
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.440
Maybe not in hierarchy.
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.440
Maybe not in hierarchy, but in knowledge.
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.919
You don't want to be the smartest guy in the room.
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.039
You want to learn from them, and they learn from you.
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.759
Here's your challenge for the week.
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.679
Reach out to three people.
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.600
I didn't mean to get on that tangent.
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.919
It just random stream of consciousness just hit me.
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.879
Reach out to three people, just three.
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:19.120
Maybe it's someone you haven't spoken to in a while.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:24.080
Maybe it's someone who helped you along the way, who gave you an opportunity.
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.039
But we're just talking about.
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:33.360
Maybe it's someone that you need to encourage, that you need to hold to a higher standard.
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.519
Send a message, make a phone call, reconnect.
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:40.879
Because relationships will grow.
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:47.519
But only grow when you invest in them.
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.320
I hope that made sense to you.
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.000
It's powerful.
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.519
It's powerful.
00:12:53.840 --> 00:13:02.960
Next week we're going to talk about the final discipline in the entire integrator framework, these disciplines of winning your day, right?
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.879
And that's the R.
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:08.559
Reflect and reset.
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:17.120
And the reason that's important is because growth only happens when we learn from our experiences.
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.600
I hope you have a great week, and I hope you win the week.
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.720
I hope you reset some of your relationships.
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.919
I hope you understand the value of the relationships.
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.039
And I look forward to seeing this relationship continue to grow when we talk next week.
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.559
Thanks, guys.
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:42.159
Everybody, thank you so much for listening to the Finding Your Inner Gator podcast.
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:48.559
You know, if today's episode helped you, share it with someone who needs to hear this message.
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:55.919
Remember, greatness is achieved through discipline, intentional action, and optimizing the relationships around you.
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.440
I look forward to getting with you next week.
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.120
Now, go Gatorize your day.
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:23.440
Hello everybody and welcome to Finding Your Innergator Podcast where we talk about discipline, relationships, and the habits that release to greatness that is already inside of you.
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.719
I'm your host, Arby Wright, and I am so glad that you're here.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:40.240
In each episode, we'll explore powerful lessons, real life stories, and practical strategies to help you live intentionally, build meaningful relationships, and unlock your full potential.
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:46.880
But greatness isn't something you stumble into, it's something that is built every single day.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:52.479
So let's get started and begin the journey to finding your integator.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.399
Let me start with a simple question.
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:09.359
Think about where you are in your life right now, your career, your opportunities, your progress.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:15.200
Now ask yourself this: how many of those things happen because of relationships?
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:22.319
Because someone believed in you, opened a door, made an introduction, or gave you an opportunity.
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:29.200
If you're honest about it, you'll realize something powerful, something very powerful.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.000
No one achieves greatness alone.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.040
All right, guys, so glad that you're here.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.239
I am really looking forward to today's episode.
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.319
This is RB Wright.
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.879
You're listening to Finding Your Inner Gator.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.680
And over the past several episodes, we've actually been walking through the inner gator framework.
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:59.280
At the very beginning, I told you that Gator stands for greatness achieved through optimizing relationships.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:05.599
Also told you that each letter represents a daily discipline as well.
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.000
Get clear.
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.240
Act with discipline.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.919
Track your progress.
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:13.199
Measure it.
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.599
Optimize relationships and then reflect and reset.
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.120
Today we're talking about the O.
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.400
And honestly, this might be the most powerful one of them all.
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.599
Optimize relationships.
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.560
Let's talk about the truth about success.
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.479
Here's something I've learned over decades in business, and I've seen it over and over again.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.120
Your opportunities in life will almost always come through other people.
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.520
Not through systems, not through luck, but through relationships.
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:57.360
A mentor will open up a door for you, a friend makes an introduction, a colleague recommends you for an opportunity.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:02.879
A customer trusts you enough to do business with you.
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.360
And they refer.
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:13.520
That relationship creates the trust where they refer more business to you.
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.120
Relationships create the momentum.
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.759
In my mind, relationships are a compounding asset, right?
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.599
They're compounding assets.
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.800
Think about the relationship like an investment.
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.319
When you invest in people over time, that investment compounds.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:44.400
The problem is that, in my opinion, anyway, most people treat relationships like transactions.
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.080
They only reach out when they need something.
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:56.639
But people who build powerful networks, they're doing something different.
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.199
They invest in people before they need anything.
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.439
They stay connected, they encourage, they support, they check in.
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.520
And over time, those relationships grow stronger.
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:13.520
And strong relationships create opportunities.
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:14.639
Right?
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.480
Opportunities.
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.199
They really share information.
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.879
They talk about water temperatures, they discuss bait patterns.
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.600
They help each other learn.
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:01.360
That's because we understand something that when people work together, everyone gets better.
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.600
Everyone gets better.
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:20.079
One of the things about relationships that's pretty cool when it comes to fishing is there's a captain I knew here in town, uh, Captain Blake, nice guy, much younger than me, nice guy, a fishy guy, right?
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.160
He's a real fishy guy.
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:29.680
And I ran into him and just said, hey, love to have you fish with me on my team sometime.
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.000
And he did.
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.920
And he was learning some stuff from us.
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.920
I was learning some stuff from him.
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:48.720
He's been on the water a lot, and we went to a certain area, and we we ended up uh catching uh a Mahi that won the Mahi division.
00:05:48.879 --> 00:06:00.800
It was a collaborative effort, but I do think had he been by himself, or had I been by myself, and we'd not been working together as a team, we never would have won that tournament.
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.920
Like I said, life works the same way, guys.
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:11.680
The strongest leaders will always surround themselves with strong relationships.
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.240
How do you optimize relationships?
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.000
What does it actually mean when I say optimize relationships?
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:22.720
It means being intentional about the people in your life.
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.959
A few questions that you need to ask yourself regularly is who can I encourage today, right?
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.879
Who can I help today?
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.759
Who should I reconnect with today?
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.639
Who has helped me that maybe I should think?
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:52.240
Those simple actions strengthen relationships and strong relationships can create powerful, powerful networks.
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:59.199
You know, there's a law out there, a principle in life called reciprocity.
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:08.240
When you consistently add value to others, for some odd reason people naturally want to add value back.
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.600
It has to be genuine, it cannot be transactional.
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:26.639
You have to have genuine interest in other people, genuine support, genuine encouragement, the kind of relationship, that kind of relationship, right?
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.120
It changes everything.
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.279
Changes everything.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.959
A really good friend of mine, uh, his name's Will.
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.439
And there's two or three of us on Saturday mornings.
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:50.399
If we're not fishing, we'll we'll hop in a boat and go to a local little restaurant called Sears Landing.
00:07:50.959 --> 00:08:01.680
Uh we usually leave the dock about 7.45 and just cruise down the waterway having a cup of coffee, pull in, and we go sit at the bar area and have breakfast and talk.
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:12.160
Something he said to me, and this is not by any means braggadocious, but it proved a point.
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:22.800
He said, one of the things I got to tell you, RB, that I appreciate is that when we're having breakfast or we're hanging out, you're not buried in your phone.
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.399
You're present.
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.879
And you make me feel that what I'm saying is important to you.
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:37.600
Even if you're listening to somebody and you're staring at your phone or saying, hey, I'm sorry, let me just take this real quick.
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:47.919
If you are there sitting with them, but you're not engaged in the conversation, they know it.
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:58.159
Bill Cosgrove uh said one time, a couple of times, that your head and your butt should always be in the same place.
00:08:58.639 --> 00:08:59.600
I love that.
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.480
I love that.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:06.799
You should always be present in the moment that you're trying to build a relationship to somebody.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:18.480
And I want to tell you a lesson that my wife taught me a long time ago, and I learned it a hard way, is that a relationship can never exist without communication.
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.200
It needs to be effective communication.
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:26.559
And communication isn't somebody talking to you and you're buried in your phone.
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:32.879
Communication is eye contact, listening, and they know that you're listening.
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.679
That's how you build a relationship.
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.320
Communication is a two-way street.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.279
Be present.
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.519
How do we tie this to inner gator?
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.879
Remember what we talked about from the beginning?
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.840
Inside of every person is an innergator.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.240
It's that greatness inside of you.
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.159
But greatness does not grow in isolation.
00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.200
Remember that.
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.759
Greatness does not grow in isolation.
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:09.759
It grows through relationships, through collaboration, through people helping each other rise.
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:17.279
When you start intentionally investing in people, something powerful happens and your opportunities will multiply.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:18.960
And let me just take it a step further.
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:24.559
We're going to talk about this at some point.
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:36.799
You should be encouraging with honest conversations with the people in your network, right?
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.759
Your friends.
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:43.120
Again, this is a deeper conversation as we we really start going through relationships.
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:56.639
I can tell you story after story of how these this thought process has changed my life because I believe you are a top, you are a reflection of the top five people you hang out with.
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.480
I believe that fully.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.519
They're holding you back.
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.840
And we're we're going to deep dive that.
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.679
We're going to deep dive that.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:40.720
But the power of relationships is not just the ability to be able to leverage that relationship, to optimize that relationship, but understand that you grow.
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.360
You should always surround yourself with people to your left, to your right, below you and above you.
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.120
I believe that's how you hire.
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.440
Maybe not in hierarchy.
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.440
Maybe not in hierarchy, but in knowledge.
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.919
You don't want to be the smartest guy in the room.
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.039
You want to learn from them, and they learn from you.
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.759
Here's your challenge for the week.
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.679
Reach out to three people.
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.600
I didn't mean to get on that tangent.
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.919
It just random stream of consciousness just hit me.
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.879
Reach out to three people, just three.
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:19.120
Maybe it's someone you haven't spoken to in a while.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:24.080
Maybe it's someone who helped you along the way, who gave you an opportunity.
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.039
But we're just talking about.
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:33.360
Maybe it's someone that you need to encourage, that you need to hold to a higher standard.
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.519
Send a message, make a phone call, reconnect.
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:40.879
Because relationships will grow.
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:47.519
But only grow when you invest in them.
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.320
I hope that made sense to you.
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.000
It's powerful.
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.519
It's powerful.
00:12:53.840 --> 00:13:02.960
Next week we're going to talk about the final discipline in the entire integrator framework, these disciplines of winning your day, right?
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.879
And that's the R.
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:08.559
Reflect and reset.
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:17.120
And the reason that's important is because growth only happens when we learn from our experiences.
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.600
I hope you have a great week, and I hope you win the week.
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.720
I hope you reset some of your relationships.
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.919
I hope you understand the value of the relationships.
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.039
And I look forward to seeing this relationship continue to grow when we talk next week.
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.559
Thanks, guys.
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:42.159
Everybody, thank you so much for listening to the Finding Your Inner Gator podcast.
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:48.559
You know, if today's episode helped you, share it with someone who needs to hear this message.
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:55.919
Remember, greatness is achieved through discipline, intentional action, and optimizing the relationships around you.
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.440
I look forward to getting with you next week.
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.120
Now, go Gatorize your day.
