046 - Highly Processed Relationships

You watch what you eat. You count your reps. You measure your sleep.

But are you tracking your relationships? Are you monitoring who's in your circle? Are they real? Or are they - like the junk food you try to avoid - highly processed?

This may just be a huge blind spot in your performance.

Relationships are fuel. Some of them are high octane. Some of them are crap. And just like your diet, you don't always feel the effects immediately. But over a season, a year, a career — it adds up. You either look back and realize the people around you made you better. Or they didn't.

In this episode, I break down the concept of highly processed relationships — what they are, how to spot them, and what to do about it without blowing up your entire social circle.
