The people around you are either helping build your future or helping keep you connected to your past.

Most people focus on changing habits, but very few stop to examine the people influencing those habits. In this episode, Chris shares lessons learned through addiction, prison, personal growth, and rebuilding life from the ground up while introducing a powerful framework that can change how you view every relationship in your life.

You'll learn about the four categories of people:

-Adders-Subtractors
-Multipliers
-Dividers

This episode will challenge you to evaluate your circle, your influences, and ultimately the type of person you're becoming in the lives of others.

• Why your circle is not neutral
• How influence shapes habits and decisions
• The people who stayed during the hardest season of life
• Why growth changes relationships
• How to evaluate the people closest to you
• The four categories of people that can impact your future

The concepts discussed throughout this series are inspired by Dr. Verná Cornelia Price and her book The Power of People.

This episode is not a retelling of the book. Instead, it is Chris's personal experiences, reflections, and lessons learned from applying these principles throughout his own life journey. As Chris says in the episode, Dr. Price created the framework—he's simply sharing what he learned from it.
