Ep 230 | The Train Station Theory | Why Growth Forces People to Leave (And Why That's a Good Thing)

In this episode of The Iron & Infrastructure Podcast, I break down what I call The Train Station Theory - the idea that life isn't about who stays forever, but who shares the same destination for a season. People come and go. Some ride with you for years, some for minutes. The pain doesn't come from them leaving - it comes from believing they were supposed to stay. I talk about how growth changes relationships, why alignment can't be forced, and how confusing time spent with actual value keeps us stuck. If you've ever felt like you're outgrowing people, questioning who belongs on your train, or struggling to let go of relationships that no longer fit your future, this episode will hit home. Sometimes the right move isn't holding on tighter - it's letting the train leave the station.
