About this listen

In this episode of The Life Dojo, Michael David Climmer explores one of the most important truths in a man’s life: your environment either builds you or breaks you. We dive into how the people closest to you influence your mindset, discipline, confidence, and long-term direction — often more than you realise.

Guest Marcus Edwards joins the conversation as we share personal experiences of outgrowing certain friendships and recognising when loyalty becomes a cage instead of a foundation. We unpack why some people energise you while others quietly drain your ambition, and why choosing a strong circle is essential for any man committed to growth.

In addition, we discuss how ancient principles — from the laws of power to the timeless wisdom found in warrior culture — can guide you in navigating relationships with clarity and intention. A genuine friend can breathe life into your purpose, while the wrong influence can slowly pull you off your path.

As a result, this episode becomes a powerful reminder that curating your circle isn’t selfish — it’s discipline. The people you surround yourself with will determine your standards, your habits, and ultimately, your destiny.
