Welcome back to the Pybites Podcast. This week we have a follow up to episode 101 in which we spoke about being in control in these difficult times of corporate layoffs. In this episode we talk about the importance of the people around you, because remember, you are the “average of the 5 people with whom you hang out the most”. Leverage these 5 important people in your life, especially now!Next we move onto the concept of having a “personal board” or “circle of advisors”, a second group of people that might not be necessarily be part of the “big 5”, but who you go to for specific advice / areas of life.A great resource that can help you with building this circle of advisors is this Harvard Business Review article: Forget Mentors — You Should Build a Circle of AdvisersLastly on this topic, we give some networking tips on how to find these kind of people that can positively influence your life.We also share some cool wins and books we’re enjoying.Links:- Join our Slack community- Pybites career 15 min chatBooks of the week: - A Brief History of Time- Montaigne’s EssaysEnjoy and next week we'll be back with another episode.
