You hear me say this all the time. Community is the new currency. What does that actually mean though? It means, there is value in your community, aka the people you surround yourself with. The people who know you and the and people you know.

In today’s world this impacts us both personally and professionally, more than at any other time in history. Why?

But if people in your community are posting about the latest political drama, constantly complaining, and sharing negative news stories, then guess what? You will start to see the world just as they do.
