In this episode, a conversation with Amber Rios Flores highlights the importance of authenticity and prioritizing relationship building to achieve success at work. We also explore what it means to “embrace the suck” when things get messy and hard in relationships as that is where long-term trust and commitment can be built.

👉 Bring authenticity to your relationships; it's essential for true connection and trust.

👉 Give yourself and others grace, recognizing that everyone is juggling their own challenges.

👉 "Embrace the suck" – acknowledge the rough patches as opportunities for strengthening bonds, but don't dwell in negativity.
