EPISODE 302
Who’s in Your Ear:
How Your Tribe Shapes Your Trajectory
Big Takeaways
- You are NOT crazy for believing in 100% success. But if you’re constantly surrounded by people who don’t believe, you’ll slowly start questioning if it’s possible, too.
- If you’re the only one in your circle thinking big, you need a new circle.
- Whether you realize it or not, the voices around you are shaping your thinking.If you’re not careful, you start internalizing their low expectations, shrinking your vision to fit their approval.
- Your success will either inspire or intimidate—pay attention to who reacts how.
- You need a tribe that thinks like you, challenges you, and reinforces your vision—not one that makes you question it
- If you want to think bigger, do more, and sustain momentum, you need to be around people who are already doing it.
- Your success challenges other people’s assumptions—if you’re getting results, it forces them to confront why they aren’t.
Who you listen to matters more than you think. As a Builder, you’re not just leading—you’re transforming schools in ways that most people around you don’t understand.
But if the loudest voices in your ear are supervisors focused on compliance, colleagues who don’t share your vision, or skeptics who think you’re aiming too high, their doubts can start shaping your decisions without you even realizing it.
In this episode, we’ll unpack how the wrong influences can slowly pull you back into the status quo, how to evaluate who’s really supporting your growth, and how to surround yourself with the right people who will challenge, inspire, and push you forward #LikeABuilder.
