Ever meet someone who just gets people? That’s Jennifer Hill, an Evolutionary Leader, Entrepreneur, Author, and Speaker. She’s spent her life figuring out what makes us tick, how we connect, why certain people light us up, and how to build relationships that actually last. In this episode, she shares her own journey (including calling herself a “recovering asshole”) and the simple shifts that have completely changed how she shows up for others.

Jennifer walks us through her “Plus Two” method for noticing who energizes you and who leaves you drained and why paying attention to that can change everything. We talk about the role self-awareness plays in building trust, and she shares the story behind the matching algorithm she created to predict who you’ll click with best in business, friendships, and even love.

We also get into her “anti-asshole prayer,” how she curates a high-trust network, and why being intentional about your circle is one of the best things you can do for your life and work. Jennifer’s had conversations with big names like Dr. Deepak Chopra and Bruce Lipton, but what makes her insights so powerful is how down-to-earth they feel. By the end, you’ll probably be rethinking how you connect and who you want in your life.
