What kind of people are in your inner circle that propels you to succeed? What characteristics do they hold?

My sistah / brothah souljahs keep me going because they’re smart, interesting, culture curious and love to discuss anything & everything.  They challenge me to be better and drive me to always be innately interested in every aspect of my life (good and bad.) These folks are supportive, love to laugh and through the years we’ve become family to one another. If I need advice they’re available to listen, really hear what’s happening and they’re in this industry in different aspects and because of that I can see things from every vantage point, etc.
