In this ep, I share a CrossFit analogy that shows how being surrounded by high performers naturally raises your standards, your effort, and your results without you even realising it. Who you surround yourself with is everything. Tune in for: 👉 How high performers raise your baseline 👉 Why success is contagious in the right environment 👉 The danger of staying in low bar teams 👉 How to intentionally level up who you are around If you want to grow, change your environment and let it do the heavy lifting. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-lone-recruiter-6417373/episodes/ep-301-who-you-surround-yourself-with-is-everything/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-lone-recruiter-6417373/ep-301-who-you-surround-yourself-with-is-everything.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
