In this episode of the Blue Collar Future podcast, Skylar Bytendorp invites us along with Jared Briggs and Jaden Robison for the final installment in the CORE 4 collaboration series. Threading through the fabric of relationships, the trio punctuates the importance of whom we surround ourselves with, emphasizing the profound impact of human connections on personal and professional spheres.

Key Takeaways:

  • Relationships play a pivotal role in defining the quality of life and should be maintained with care and intention.
  • The most critical relationships often involve significant others and family members, forming the core of one's support system.
  • The depth of relationships is just as important, if not more so, than the quantity.
  • Intentionally nurturing relationships is crucial; being genuinely curious and asking about family, occupation, recreation, and dreams can strengthen bonds.
  • Negative or toxic relationships may need to be distanced or reassessed to protect one's growth and mental health.

Notable Quotes:

  • "A business is only as good as the quality of customers I have and the business partners and the collaborations that we do. So relationships are kind of what life's all about, to me, at least." - Skylar Bytendorp
  • "I really believe there's no self-made anybody ... I even look at my marriage, my relationships, my business, my things that I consider a success. I didn't do any of them by myself, none of them." - Jared Briggs
  • "When I started actively pursuing relationships with people, it was a crazy difference, like, actively pursue meeting people, making connections, and all that." - Jaden Robison
  • "What kind of person do you want to be known as? Are you a taker? Are you a giver?" - Skylar Bytendorp
  • "People love to help people. There's nothing better than when somebody sends you a message saying, 'Hey, that last episode. I needed that.'" - Jared Briggs
