Pro Tip: Meet the Right People in the Right Places
I learned early on that the environments you choose are important, especially when it comes to meeting the kind of people you aspire to be like. When I was younger, my mom’s love for luxury meant we spent a lot of time at high-end resorts like the Four Seasons, especially beach hotels. Since I wasn’t a fan of the sun, I would sit under an umbrella and strike up conversations with the other families around me.
Those casual chats led to unexpected lessons. I remember a woman explaining the intricacies of corporate takeovers and another time meeting a uranium dealer. These conversations expanded my consciousness and overstanding of the world in ways I never imagined. I quickly realized the importance of surrounding myself with environments that challenged and intrigued me.
I began to expect a certain level of luxury, and anything less wasn’t enough—this became my standard. Now, when I travel, I replicate the environments I want more of and aim to expand into. I seek out places that expose me to new levels and possibilities. The more I see, the more I know what is available for the next stages of my life.
