How Proximity to the Right People Can Change Your Life

How Proximity to the Right People Can Change Your Life

Author: Lori Harder | YAP Media September 8, 2026 Duration: 21:05
Do you need to live in the right city to reach your biggest goals, or can you create the same opportunities from wherever you are? In this episode, Chris and I talk about the role proximity plays in success and why being around the right people creates opportunities, relationships, and collaborations that you can't always access from a distance. We also share why opportunity alone isn't enough if you're not thriving where you are, and how to find the balance between being your best self and putting yourself in rooms that stretch you.

Hosted by entrepreneur and author Lori Harder, Earn Your Happy is a raw and relatable look at what it actually takes to build a meaningful life and business. This podcast lives in the messy middle ground between a bold vision and its realization, exploring the risks, the failures, and all those moments of doubt that nobody talks about on a polished highlight reel. Lori’s conversations are grounded in real experience-her own journey as a founder and host-and they cut through the noise of typical business advice. You’ll hear honest stories about the rollercoaster of chasing big goals, where laughter and vulnerability are just as important as strategy. It’s this authentic, no-BS approach that has resonated with so many, earning the show recognition as a top entrepreneurship podcast. Each episode feels like a candid talk with a friend who’s been there, offering not just inspiration but practical perspectives for navigating your own path. Tune in for a dose of reality that’s as motivating as it is genuine, proving that building something you love is never a straight line.
