“The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.”
— Epictetus

You think you set your own bar? Think again.

Every day, you’re soaking in signals — what’s normal, what’s acceptable, what’s expected. Chances are, you’re surrounded by mediocrity.

It’s the guys who complain but never improve. The ones who always have a reason why they “can’t” do something. The men who talk big but never back it up.

You hang around that long enough, and guess what?

You start sounding like it.

Here’s the key — you don’t know what you don’t know.

You don’t see your blind spots until someone with real perspective calls them out.

To become the man you were meant to be, you’ll need a band of brothers. One that pushes you to a higher standard and doesn’t tolerate excuses — it’s time to make a change.
