Success doesn’t start with money – it starts with what you believe you deserve.
When Tim made the choice to stop flying coach and commit to first class, it wasn’t about legroom or perks. It was about drawing a line in the sand. A personal standard. A way of saying, this is where I belong – and I’ll work to stay here.
In this episode, Tim and Randy unpack what it means to adopt a “first-class mindset,” and why it has less to do with money and everything to do with identity.
They explore how raising your standards in one area of life ripples into others – business, relationships, confidence – and why some people will always try to pull you back down when you start leveling up.
You’ll also hear how proximity creates opportunity (including a wild story involving a government official and a WWE superstar), and why the Iron Circle is built to celebrate success.
If you're ready to stop shrinking to fit and start living at the level you were built for, this one’s for you.
