This was a press record and talk episode. I’ve talked about my experiences in dealing with negative people over the last ten years. Parts of this episode are very raw and I’ve used some stories from my personal life that I haven’t talked about before so I hope it helps.

Notable timestamps:

“You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with” – Jim Rohn

“If you wouldn’t switch positions with someone, why are you listening to them?”

There are three types of people in this world, people who give you energy, people who drain your energy and those who are neutral.

Who are the emotional vampires in your immediate environment?

Are they just projecting onto you? 36:49

“Somebody projecting hate or negativity on you is normally a reflection of what’s going on in their life. That’s on them, not you! Remember hurt people hurt people”

“There’s always someone smarter, leaner, bigger. There’s always a bigger d*ck!” 43:10
