Think about it like this: if you buy a not-so-great house in a really fancy neighborhood, the value of your home could go up because of the excellent community.

The same idea applies in life. If you’re in certain places and with certain people, your chances of getting ahead improve. This is why many big tech companies start in a place like San Francisco – because everyone there is sharing ideas and helping each other grow.

So, just like being in a gym can motivate you to stay fit because everyone around you is focused on that, being around people with big dreams and ideas can lift you in the same way. Where you are and who you’re with can make a big difference in how far you can go.
