There’s no question that your environment impacts your experience. The people you surround yourself with will influence the trajectory of your life. Who are those people in your life? Are they constructive or destructive? Do they push you closer to your goals or pull you further away? Do they motivate you to become your best, or allow you to settle for less? Thankfully, today as we reflect on some of these questions, we will be guided by a renowned business consultant, leadership coach, best-selling author, and psychologist who knows the power of relationships, Dr. John Townsend. In today’s conversation we’ll be unpacking his newest book, People Fuel, as we learn how we can fill our tanks for life, love, and leadership. As Dr. Townsend will remind us, our bodies require physical nutrients to stay healthy. If we don't take enough iron, we can develop anemia. Too little calcium can lead to bone disease. In the same way, John identifies the key Relational Nutrients that we need as well. As we experience these critical elements from others, we grow mentally and emotionally more sharp and healthy. And as we give these elements back, others benefit as well. So buckle up and get ready for an incredible conversation as the person who taught you how to have boundaries now helps you to experience the best from those people you have allowed into your boundaries.
