Codie Sanchez argues that brown-nosing mediocre people wastes your time. If someone is impressed by BS, they can't be your champion. Real champions are already exceptional and will find you when you're genuinely excellent.

If you can BS your way into somebody's good graces, they're not worth being your champion. What it takes to get into the winner's sphere is exactly what makes them worth being in. Like, if you're awesome and exceptional, the real players, they come to you. And that's the whole point of the game. So don't feel like you have to brown-nose people that you don't even wanna shake hands with. You know what I'm saying?
