## Resource

In Episode 112 of The Mindful Startup, we’re talking about proximity — and why it may matter more than talent. Most opportunities don’t come from merit alone. They come from being in the right rooms, around the right people, and clear about what you’re building. In this episode, we cover: • Why proximity accelerates success • How environment shapes ambition • Why silence kills opportunity • And how to choose your ecosystem carefully Your environment is not neutral. Proximity determines trajectory.
