THIS ONE WILL CHANGE THE GAME!

In this episode, Marc and Tavarus discuss the importance of having the right circle of influence around you and the right people in your corner, at the right time, and for all the right reasons.

There's a popular statement used by large corporations and successful people around the world, and it reveals one of the secretes to success. The statement goes like this, "No one gets there alone". So true! We've heard for years that "it's not always about what you know, but who you know"! There's so much packed in that one statement, and the goal of this episode is to help unpack it, and give practical steps as to HOW to apply this truth to ones life. We firmly believe that growth happens in community. Elevation thrives in relationships with others who fall in one of 3 categories of your "Developmental Network". Those levels are:

1. Peers
2. Mentors
3. Sponsors

Each of these levels are absolutely necessary for growth, development and expansion. They work perfectly in tandem with each other, yet one doesn't yield "best hopes" without the other.

Here are a few great articles that also provide deeper insight on what it means to have a strong Developmental Network:
