Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where pressure, presence, and perspective collide.

Today’s topic?
The problem with being the smartest person in the room.

If no one around you challenges your thinking…
If every conversation ends with your opinion…
If you always have the final word...

You’re not leading.
You’re babysitting.

And your growth is on a timer.

You don’t just need people around you.
You need people who make you think harder, aim higher, and stay sharper.

Otherwise, your circle becomes your ceiling.

Read the full 444 Newsletter here to see the 4 thoughts, 4 lessons, and 4 challenges I’ve learned about what it really means to be a businessman today.

Hit reply and tell me, are you the strongest mind in a weak circle? I read every message.
