Summary

In this episode, I’m talking about why you need to know people in low places, not just high places. We all know the saying about knowing people in high places with status, resources, and connections. But sometimes, the people who can really help you aren’t at the top. They’re the ones in positions that may not seem important, but they can get things done in ways high-level folks can’t. I’ll break down why these relationships matter just as much—maybe even more—in certain situations. Show Notes: [01:28]#1 Not everything in life is shiny and sometimes you need some dirty work done. [08:32]#2 There is no downside to more people knowing you and having a positive opinion of you, regardless of who those people are. [17:41]#3 There are more average people than there are higher achievers.
