Ready for a filter that instantly clarifies who belongs in your life and work? We dig into the “heck yes” standard and show how it transforms clients, friendships, and collaborations by replacing half-hearted maybes with aligned, energized partners who actually move things forward. Instead of chasing bigger guest lists or bloated contact lists, we model what it looks like to curate smaller rooms where people prepare, listen, ask sharp questions, and celebrate each other’s wins.

I share a recent coaching story that proves engagement beats attendance. You’ll hear how a highly intentional group created more value than a crowded room ever could, and why that matters for your business, your calendar, and your peace of mind. We break down the hidden costs of lukewarm relationships—missed deadlines, dampened energy, and a slow creep of doubt—and offer practical language for setting boundaries without drama. You’ll learn how to spot misalignment early, say no with respect, and keep your standards high without losing your kindness.

We also tackle the mindset behind curation. Scarcity urges you to hold onto every contact; abundance helps you give more, attract better fits, and trust that the right people will stay. Finally, we reframe endings with a simple lens: some relationships are for a season, some for a reason, and a rare few for a lifetime. Use that to honor what was, release what no longer serves, and make space for the connections that light you up. If you’re ready to build a circle that pushes you higher, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to tell us your biggest “heck yes” from today.

SPEAKER_00:

Hey, it's Jordan Edwards here for Five Minute Friday. And what we're going to be discussing about is growing your relationships. So some of us think that having a million relationships is the best thing for us. Some of us think that having three relationships is the best thing for us. I'm going to tell you something. Whenever you get a client, whenever you start a new friendship, whenever you get an intimate partner, you want that partner, whoever that is, whether it's a client, whether it's a friend, whether whatever it is, you want that person to be a heck yeah. You want that person to be a yes, um, a yes, yes, yes, or to no. If they have resistance on certain things, you can work through that, of course. But when you're building things and you're building companies and you're building people, you want to find people that are a heck yes. Because if it's not a heck yes, it's a no. And sometimes when it's a no, it's just not good. It can be a cancer to your organization. It can be a cancer to your friend group, it can be a cancer to your birthday party plans, it can be anything. It can really bring a damper down. So if I'd rather have less people at events, less people at engagements, less people in my coaching groups, because I want them to be better people. I want them to be people that care. I want them to be people that show up, people that want to be there. I actually recently just had a guest speaker at my coaching group, and he told me even though not everybody spoke, or sometimes people spoke and then they had to wait like 15, 20 minutes, it was amazing how engaged everybody was and how intentional their questions were. And that really made me realize this. And that's why I'm sharing this with you guys because you want to be around people that think very highly of you. You want to be around people that are gonna push you. You want to be around people that are the heck yes in your life. They are the giving person, they are the ones that want to help you, they are the ones that want to see more from you. They're not the ones who bring you down. When you tell them a big success, they don't try to bring you down. They try to build you up. Because the truth is, there's very few of those in this world. And if you want to become one of those, go out there and give. Go out there and try to support. Go out there and give what you can. We all have too much in our lives, and we all have the ability to give. We just are in a scarcity mindset. So shift to the abundance mindset and know that you have to find the right relationships. And I want you to let you know it's okay to outgrow relationships. Not every relationship is perfect, not everyone is meant to be for a lifetime. As my mom would say, every friendship is a season, a reason, or a lifetime. So I hope you can stay with that. And I hope you got a lot of value from this five minute Friday. Thank you.
