One of the best decisions I ever made in business was surrounding myself with people smarter than me.
There is a lot of value in being around people who challenge the way you think, see things differently, and have experience you do not.
Sometimes you can teach them something. A lot of times, they teach you something. Either way, everybody grows.
I learned a long time ago I never wanted to be the smartest person in the room. That mindset has helped me grow as a business owner, build a stronger team, and better serve the people who trust us to protect what they have built.
You learn a lot when you stop trying to prove yourself and start paying attention.
