Remove the Toxicity (Part 1): How Toxic People and Habits Quietly Destroy Entrepreneurs

Remove the Toxicity (Part 1): How Toxic People and Habits Quietly Destroy Entrepreneurs

Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because they lack discipline. They fail because they tolerate toxic inputs—people, habits, and environments that quietly drain energy, judgment, and momentum.

In Part 1 of Remove the Toxicity, Jeremy Hanson breaks down how unmanaged toxicity shows up biologically, emotionally, and financially for entrepreneurs. You’ll learn how to identify toxic patterns in family, friendships, business relationships, and yourself—before they cost you years of growth.

This episode focuses on identification, not motivation. You’ll learn:

Why toxic people feel exhausting even when they “mean well”

The four types of toxic relationships entrepreneurs overlook

How stress, social strain, and chaos destroy decision quality

Why self-toxic habits stick—and how to spot them honestly

The hidden performance cost of tolerating dysfunction


If your business feels heavier than it should, this episode will show you why.
