On this episode of Progress Always, I sit down with Zac Palmer, sales and persuasion strategist, podcast host, and a leader in emotional intelligence and conscious communication. We dig into how proximity is power, how immersive environments change lives, and how the quality of your life is directly tied to the quality of your agreements. Whether you lead a team, a household, or just yourself—this one will stretch your awareness.
Key Takeaways
- Proximity is power: Surround yourself with people who challenge you.
- Agreements are everything—especially the unspoken ones.
- Immersion fast-tracks your growth by forcing presence.
- True EQ comes from practicing curiosity over control.
- Growth is not linear—it’s rhythmic. Learn to love the loop.
