They had everything to do with the relationships he wasn't ready to build.In this conversation, Greg gets refreshingly honest about the mindset shifts that unlocked real growth: from thinking he knew everything in his mid-20s, to building an unpaid advisory board full of people who are emotionally invested in his success — not because he asked them, but because the relationship was real first.What you'll get from this episode:Why authenticity isn't optional — how showing up as your real self is the fastest path to building relationships that actually bear fruitThe mentor trap — why you can't go looking for a mentor, and how the best advisors enter your orbit organically when you focus on genuine connection firstRebar and concrete in action — why you need both the transactional and relational dimensions of a business relationship, and what happens when you skip oneThe stagnation warning sign — how Greg recognized the "we made it" mindset as a red flag, not a reward, and what he did to break the patternNetworking outside your comfort zone — how intentionally getting into unfamiliar circles is what separated stagnation from exponential growth at Load UpWhether you're scaling a team, building a board, or trying to stop resting on your laurels — this one's a gut check.#H2H #RelationshipDrivenGrowth #StartupLeadership #BuildingBusinessRelationships #ClientSuccess===You can connect with Greg Workmon here:goloadup.comYou can connect with Karl Pontau here:www.thehumanconnectionpodcast.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kpontauhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUbf_bDWwB9KVrFn5Sj3u2w?sub_confirmation=1Please like, subscribe, and share this episode with somebody you care about!
