506. The Power of 150: Why More Connections Won’t Grow Your Business

Brian Gubernick dives into Dunbar’s Number—the scientific principle that suggests we can only maintain 150 meaningful relationships at a time. As entrepreneurs, we often chase more—more clients, more contacts, more deals. But what if focusing on stronger connections, rather than more connections, is the key to real success?

Brian breaks down: - The structure of Dunbar’s Number (5, 15, 50, 150) and how it applies to business - Why growing beyond 150 employees can fracture company culture—and how to fix it - The power of nurturing the right 150 relationships for business growth and retention - A step-by-step method to audit your circle and prioritize high-impact connections - How to go deeper, not wider, with strategic relationship-building
