Your environment doesn’t just change your mindset.
It can change your family’s future.
In this episode of the Built to Scale Podcast, Dr. Allen Miner and Dr. Mark Mouw reflect on their recent family trip to Italy and the deeper lessons they’ve learned from more than a decade of surrounding themselves with high-achieving chiropractors and their families.
What started as a conversation about vacations quickly became something much bigger:
Who are you surrounding yourself—and your kids—with?
Because the people around you influence the conversations you have, the standards you set, and ultimately what you believe is possible.
For Alan and Mark, one of the biggest unexpected benefits of being part of UAC wasn’t just business growth.
It was watching their kids grow up around families who value:
⚠️ Purpose
⚠️ Excellence
⚠️ Growth
⚠️ Health
⚠️ Entrepreneurship
⚠️ Family
They talk about how their children have grown up together, traveled together, and been exposed to conversations about business, investing, college, careers, and life that they might not otherwise experience.
And there’s another lesson they unpack:
Travel isn’t just an expense. It’s an investment in experiences, relationships, and perspective.
Changing your environment can change the way you think.
And sometimes, getting out of your normal routine is exactly what you need to see your life differently.
In this episode, we discuss:
✅ Why your environment has such a powerful effect on your mindset
✅ The importance of surrounding your family with growth-oriented people
✅ Why family experiences can create lasting value
✅ How traveling with friends creates different conversations and perspectives
✅ Why experiences can be more valuable than material possessions
✅ The unexpected benefits of raising kids around entrepreneurial families
✅ How intentional communities can influence the next generation
✅ Why success isn’t just about building a business—it’s about building a life
One of the biggest takeaways:
Your kids are learning from the environment you create around them.
You don’t have to give them everything.
But you can give them access to people, experiences, conversations, and environments that expand what they believe is possible.
Because sometimes the greatest return on an investment isn’t financial.
It’s who your family becomes because of it.
