In this short but potent episode, Michael Trainer shares a powerful relationship-building philosophy born during a 40-day journey through the American West. While wandering the vast expanses of Yosemite, he noticed that 95% of visitors crowd into the main valley—while the equally breathtaking Tuolumne Meadows sits nearly untouched.This became a metaphor for life.For opportunity.And for how to build meaningful relationships.Instead of going where everyone else goes—the crowded lines, the inboxes, the post-talk frenzy—Michael teaches you how to “go to the left.” The less crowded place. The unconventional path. The serendipitous moment no one else is thinking about.Whether approaching a speaker, connecting with someone you admire, or building a world-class network, this strategy will change how you move through the world.
