When you hit rock bottom in life, you’ll be left with two things: the integrity of your word, and your relationships.

Surrounding yourself with inspiring people is a great way to push yourself. Creating those connections and investing in relationships can truly change the world.

That’s what Jayson Gaignard thinks, anyway. He founded the Mastermind Talks, an exclusive, inspirational event that builds community among entrepreneurs. Placing quality above quantity when it comes to his own connections, Jayson has some unique and awesome theories on how we spend our time and energy.

Find out who inspires him, how he got off the entrepreneurial “hamster wheel” to jumpstart the Mastermind Talks, and why he values his relationships so much.

This interview is stellar, and I can’t wait for you to hear it. Let’s jump in.

Amazing people become increasingly amazing over time.
