We can’t relive the past, but the past never really leaves us. In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and co-host Tiffanee Cook to explore how our history continues to shape who we are, what we value, and how we show up today. We unpack why the environments, people, and strengths that fueled our success in the past are a mirror reflecting what matters most to us now, and how dissecting those elements can help us become the best version of ourselves.

Together, we dig into why the most meaningful parts of our lives almost always involve relationships, not transactions, and why success in business and life requires more than strategy, it requires being in the right environment with the right people. We discuss relational vs. transactional business models, the role of community, and why people who genuinely care are good for business. After all, Gallup research shows that 70% of the variance in all business outcomes is directly related to the department manager. Translation: people matter, and leaders who foster connection create the conditions for growth.

This is a conversation about memory, meaning, and the environments that allow us to thrive, because the past may be behind us, but it still has a lot to teach us about the future.
