Who you spend time with shapes more than your habits—it shapes your energy, your standards, and even your sense of what’s possible. In this episode of The Better Path Podcast, we explore the hidden influence of proximity: how the people and voices around you quietly raise—or lower—the bar for your own life.

You’ll hear why proximity is about energy as much as habits, how “invisible norms” can steer your choices, and why adding the right voices into your world matters as much as who you avoid. We’ll wrap with a simple but powerful challenge to help you notice the influence of your circle and choose your environment with intention.
