266: Who You Surround Yourself With Matters More Than You Think

About this episode

Jacqui Naunton and Hazal Ozturk discuss the impact of relationships on business success and the value of group programs.

In this podcast, I’m joined by my biz bestie and marketing business coach Hazal Ozturk for a really honest, unscripted chat about the rooms and relationships that have shaped both of our businesses. We talk about what emotionally safe friendships in business actually look like, how being around people doing more than you raises what you think is possible, and why group programs surprise almost everyone who joins them (including what surprised us most). Plus, we chat about the things we disagree most about on our business retreats.
