You Want the Reward Without the Relationship (And That's Why You're Stuck) | S2S 554
Summary
CJ, Karl, Jemal, and Eric Thomas discuss a success formula rooted in humility, coachability, and building relationships with mentors rather than just seeking information.

Eric Thomas shares his personal journaling experience, demonstrating how discipline in one area, like fitness, can enhance presence in others, such as family time.
